Zcash Pool- Zcash.flypool.org

Because of the ongoing issues with transactions to z addresses we will publish a guide tomorrow on how to move those funds to regular t addresses. This procedure will also allow you to move funds mined under testnet zcash addresses to regular addresses.

Please note that this will be a manual process and performed only once. Please do not mine to z addresses on the pool for now.

Does this require any network connectivity other then to zcash.flypool.org ?

If I understood correctly no it doesnt url and port only

thanks. because I plan to do port forwarding.

Iā€™m using Nicehash service but it has problem connecting to your pool.
Cannot establish bridge 94.23.60.113:3333

when 0.6 genoil has stable connect, it is fine, but upon reconnect pool shows zero hash while interface shows normal hashing with shares being accepted. why is that?
my take is that upon reconnect pool is delaying credit for shares (somehow considering miner as non existing)
maybe it is just a delay effect

We have published a guide on how to recover funds mined under a z address: How to move funds from a Zcash "z" address to a Zcash "t1" address on flypool : bitfly Support Portal

Please note that this is a manual process, so we will collect transfer requests and move all of them in one batch.

Can I just wait until the z-addr bug is fixed? I have my payout set high, so it will be many days before itā€™s due from the pool. If zcash canā€™t fix the bug, they have no coin, since thatā€™s the central feature of zcash.

I would recommend to move over to a t1 address. We might need to disable payments to z addresses for a longer period of time given the issues we are currently facing when dealing with those addresses.

Here is a summary of the current issues:

OK. So, restart my miners with the t-addr, then you move the z-addr balance to the t-addr after I give you the info, and thatā€™s it? Just donā€™t use that z-addr again?

Last time I checked the difficult is 500, now it is increase to 1000. Does it effect my shares?

Hello
So how can the withdrawal request on your site?!

I can confirm, this pool is broken. 90% of my problems went away switching to nanopool.

@peter_zcash So, what exactly is being shown for ā€œSharesā€? Itā€™s definitely no a value equal to the number of accepted shares seen on the miner side. Iā€™ve tracked one of my workers for a couple hours and seen ~300 accepted shares per hour, but the status page only shows numbers in the 40-50 range for that worker. Thanks!

The number of shares is calculated according to the shares you submitted during the last hour. We are in the process of adjusting the static share difficulty to match the increased efficiency of the available miners. The share chart is just informative and does not affect payments. We might remove it all together till we have found the optimal share difficulty for the pool.

@peter_zcash , I bought some hash power from Nicehash but I canā€™t connect to your pool. Any idea?

Only problem with nanopool is cpus suck there due to the high diff

you can add your own diff in most miners

Hello there.
Nice pool, no issues so far.
Three questions:

-Do the invalid solutions count to anything? I.e. if i have a miner that produces 5% invalid solutions, would it result in extra fee or something compared to the same miner with an extra filter to remove the bad ones?

-Does the target/difficulty the pool gives for shares depend on the hashrate of the client? That is, would a 400 sol/s box-o-GPUs get handled the same as a 4 sol/s phone?

-What does ā€œluckā€ mean on the stats page?

As you may know, Iā€™ve been mining on ethermine.org for many months, so Iā€™m used to your share statistics there. The shares on the ETH pool are the same as the accepts I see on my side in the stratum log. Since you are running both pools on a fixed diff, is there a reason why flypool canā€™t simply report the number of valid solutions submitted to the pool in the Shares stats, along with an invalid count? I guess Iā€™m just wondering why flypool doesnā€™t report shares exactly like ethermine.org. Iā€™ve always liked the ethermine stats. :slight_smile: And thanks for all your great effort; I know bringing up flypool has been a lot of work and will be for a while :slight_smile:
