This is hard to tell because the price for 1 ZEC went from 5000 BTC to 50 BTC in the first hours on Poloniex and for the rest of the day between 10 and 5 BTC.
Right now it is 3.55 BTC for 1 ZEC. (Or $2500)
Well… it’s depend in which moment they sell… Hard to calculate, price was 3000BTC/ZEC or 20BTC/ZEC
Okay, then maybe how much ZEC? You’re right, BTC is probably the wrong unit there.
We slapped some duct tape on the memory leak issue (restarting the miner every 5 minutes), and that seems to be mostly holding. We’ve been able to maintain some steady hashrate for the last 45 minutes or so, although not as much as we should be getting. Still, progress. Customers should probably be averaging about 50% as many H/s now as they ordered. We should have enough hardware for 200%, though, so I’m nowhere near satisfied.
Hi @jtoomim - appreciate the update. I’m still not getting any hash rate on my flypool account…should i be at this point? Zcash Flypool - Zcash (ZEC) mining pool
My user name on your order form is oaktree.
ZEC today is something else then ZEC yesterday.
Maybe it’s an idea that you focus on getting a steady hashing rate and don’t let us pay/don’t count hashes as long as you underperform ?
@RandomLetter I see 3.2 H/s now on your account. Obviously not what you paid for, but it’s a start. It looks like your pool info is configured correctly.
It’s not the same, no, but it’s still a useful number to have in the conversation.
Thanks for the update!
I scanned through the web interfaces on flypool for about 30 of our customers, and around 85% of them have received some hashrate from us. Over the last 2 hours, it seems people are averaging roughly 50% of the amount of hashrate that we owe them. This is consistent with the system-wide hashrate reported by our own switchboard code. Not great, but better than before.
Most of the customers who have not yet gotten hashrate from us placed small orders, like 1 to 10 H/s. The low switching frequency of our rigs is probably to blame for that – they’ll get large bursts of hashrate with low frequency. Suboptimal, but expected for now.
If you are on suprnova or another pool and have ordered more than 10 H/s, but do not see any, then your pool information is probably configured incorrectly.
If you do not see any hashing and you’re using another pool and you’ve ordered more than 10 H/s, feel free to email us at support@. I’ll probably be able to find time to reply soon, as long as the questions are kept technical.
i get 12h/s now, 1/4 of what i paid for, but It is too late To start mine now, It is too difficult to mine and price is too low, Oppotunity has gone. Everybody should be free to decide Weather go on or ask for refund

I bought in that range. Yes, I am on the low scale of your customers and I am active elsewhere in crypto.
I want to be pretty clear about this. There is no way that marginalizing my participation, in what I expected to be crypto history, is acceptable. Day 1 was a complete fail and the dust I could have reasonably hoped for is non existent and no longer sellable at the prices on Day 1. There is also no possibility that I will accept “large bursts of hashrate with low frequency” as a fix for that.
I understand that you may want to do whatever you can do to save your company name. I get that greed or incompetence is the ‘either or here’. I don’t care. Don’t get me wrong - do what you have to do to fix whatever you have to and I hope you make it right for some people who still want to mine. Polo got scrunched in their beginning and look where they are. The problem is, I know what Polo was doing then and they were very transparent.
I want a refund. I don’t even get to say that (incoming hypothetical), “the .00001457 ZEC I have was mined on the first day.” I get no novelty or profit out of your failed launch - which you had ample time to prepare for and which you boasted about. I get a bad memory.
Make it a neutral memory, please. And don’t marginalize your small customers. Ever. That is one other mistake you made that compounds the rest and actually made it worse in my eyes.
I have gotten 0.00002 ZEC in Hashrate in flypool now = .0,04 USD currently and now switched to Supra, where my 3 year old laptop did already do a good job and got over the payout limit.
I do not receive any hashrate on supra yet.
Time to tuck your tail in-between your legs. I called this a few days ago. Just as I’ve said multiple times, they used customer money to buy GPU’s. They never had the capacity that they claimed. Something illegal could have definitely occurred here. Just do the right thing and give people their refunds. You took in way too much money.
I encourage people to stop believing jtoomim’s excuses from now on. I have 3 theories.
1). They mined zcash for themselves on the first day for massive profit.
2). They are in way over their heads.
3). They actually didn’t have the code for a functional miner ready at all, and it was all just a lie. Half-truth at best.
I mean what proof does anyone have that they were capable of delivering anything close to what they’re saying? Pics/video of a warehouse? I have a 3000+sq foot warehouse that I could take a video of anytime I want lol.

Where do you think this extra %100 in hardware came from? I feel bad for your customers.
now it is 3h/s again
love that phrase… fractional mining operation… and they were gloating about how their GPU funding venture came out of their own pockets… lol
We have enough hashrate. We just have buggy stratum code, and we got our netboot image corrupted yesterday. Sigh.
By the way, us1-zcash.flypool.org has been having trouble recently. It would fail to respond to our subscribe requests with a new work notification. We didn’t have a timeout written, so when this happened, that rig would lie idle for 5 minutes. I’ve added a timeout, but I haven’t yet pushed that code to all of our rigs, so this issue should be semi-fixed soon.

Note to customers: I intend to compensate our customers for at least 100% of the ZEC that they would have mined during our downtime.
How can you compensate People with b t c that They have gained Through mining and sold at least 10btc/zec , And that’s what you should do.
@eastwind_ja, it looks like you’re using stratum+tcp://us1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 as your pool server. Currently, us1 is performing poorly, and eu1 is performing much better. This is contrary to my expectation, as we’re in the US, but maybe their server is underpowered or overloaded. This issue will probably be addressed soon by flypool. If not, you can try switching to eu1-zcash.flypool.org.
We’ve noticed that this issue was affecting several other of our customers too.
