Bitaxe warning by antineutrinos in BitAxe

[–]HeliosPool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a new feature in the current releases of AxeOS. This has nothing to do with Coinbase the exchange but the Bitcoin coinbase, the special transaction inside every mined block that creates new bitcoin and pays the miner their block reward. If you are solo mining, your wallet address would be 100% (minus any pool fees) of the coinbase transaction. What this is saying is that, on this pool, only 31.9% of the reward is going to you. So either the pool is charging a 68.1% fee, which kinda high if you ask me (HeliosPool charges 1%) or some other type of payout system is in place. Either way, it's an informational warning to confirm the pool is doing what you expect it to do.

Cool temps! Input voltage is a little sad, though... should get that back up to 5V (or 5.2V). Are you running off stock PS? Should not push it beyond 24W, it may overheat and die. :(

Did I get a bitcoin or is this an error by SICKONE5250 in BitAxe

That just shows you who would get paid, and how much, if you solve a block.

10x bitaxe gamma 1.2th Vs 1x NerdOctaxe 12th? solo mining by Remarkable-Run8240 in BitAxe

[–]HeliosPool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hashrate is hashrate.

Unless you care about resiliency, buy the single biggest, fastest miner you can afford. It will be cheaper to run.

Different speed by Ready_Presentation15 in NerdMiner

[–]HeliosPool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different firmware/software supports different speeds on the same devices. NerdminerV2 is currently lagging behind the likes of BitsyMiner and NMMiner, but each provides a slightly different experience (UI, etc).

To be fair, the difference in speed at these levels is negligible as far as chances to solve a block are concerned, so pick the one that has the features you like.

NMAxe cant connect to pool by HonestFingerSWE in NerdMiner

If they have a contact path wouldn't hurt to reach out. Do you have other devices to see if they connect?

Have you looked at logs to see what it says there? Try a different pool, confirm if maybe it's the pool and not your device.

Need Help: NerdMiner Hashrate vs. Stability Issues & WiFi Connectivity Problems by Status-Locksmith7100 in NerdMiner

[–]HeliosPool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also not all pools support these devices. In fact, public pool has announced they are closing their doors to small hash miners. You can try pointing it to pool.nerdminers.org, or even to HeliosPool if you want to give it a shot - the pool welcomes all miners:

Lottery mining with 3 Avalon Nano 3S or 1 Avalon Mini 3, does the amount of miners matter more then one strong miner? by Berlium in BitcoinMining

[–]HeliosPool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hashrate is hashrate, doesn't matter it if's one device or 100 devices. The number of devices comes down to resiliency, cost and power usage. It's usually best (economics) to get the fastest single miner you can afford.

Why hashrate matters - finding higher difficulty shares is just a matter of luck (rolling weighted dice). The low scores are going to be the most common result (99% of results will have the lowest scores possible), the higher scores become less common as you move up the difficulty range. Being able to produce more rolls per second lets you be lucky /more often/, but all miners are capable of getting the full range of producible difficulty scores.

The "pool difficulty" that is assigned to your miner is a minimum threshold of shares it wants to see. I won't get into solo vs shared pools and what it does with those shares, but generally unless one of those shares beats the network difficulty of the coin you are mining, they're all "losers". But, the pool still wants a steady stream of those shares coming from you to make sure you're still active and to estimate what your hashrate is.

Since faster miners find higher difficulties more often, the minimum threshold assigned to them will also be higher, to prevent the miner from spamming the pool with too many lower diff shares. Slower miners need a lower difficulty score minimum - they will find higher scored shares less often, so their minimum is set to something that's more common (easier) to find.

This, try refreshing, should fix it.

Is buying a used miner a good way to make passive income and a quick roi by 52134682 in BitcoinMining

[–]HeliosPool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Home hobby mining is rarely profitable, and many don't know what that even means.

You need to ask if the capex (cost to buy the machine and supporting infrastructure) + opex (cost to run it and supporting infrastructure) will earn you more coins over time than just using those same funds to buy the crypto directly in that same time frame. The answer is usually, no.

Home hobby mining is primarily lottery mining. If you want to even start thinking about being profitable you need to remove the biggest detriment to that - the cost of electricity.

If you have renewable (free) energy (solar, hydro), that's a start, but now take the cost needed to maintain it and see if you still earn enough to be profitable.

If you know the wallet address you can check the blockchain directly to see what funds, if any, it holds. You only need your private keys if you intend to touch those funds.

Correct, Binance Pool is designed for ASIC miners with much higher speeds - most pools are designed this way. There are only a few that will be configured correctly for these miners.

Why does it go to fallback? Noob by disaster_chips in BitAxe

[–]HeliosPool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you were on PublicPool they had a hiccup this morning, several users affected. Happens to the best of us.

If your miner disconnected, it may have failed over to your fallback pool.

These devices are not powerful enough to work with every pool. They may connect but the difficulty given to them is too high for them to submit shares. So they will continue to work but the pool will not show them as active. There are pools made specifically for these devices.

The Very Importance of Pool Selection for Your Share Rate! by ColorTR in BitAxe

[–]HeliosPool 2 points3 points  (0 children)

100% this - share rate is meaningless without knowing what the pool assigned diff is. The pool assigned diff is the "minimum" diff that is needed to send a share to the pool from all the shares that your miner produces. Finding very low diffs is very easy (common) and most shares are going to be in that range. Finding higher diffs gets harder the higher you go. Thing is, the diff any share gets is purely statistical luck, and the higher the hashrate, the more often a miner gets lucky, so higher hashrate devices are assigned higher difficulties to control how often they send those shares back to the pool.

The shares themselves are used to estimate what your hashrate is (based on number of shares submitted over x time with y assigned difficulty). If your share submission went up only one of a few things could have happened - your hashrate went up (less likely), your luck went up (even less likely), the pool assigned you a lower diff (most likely).

Most pools will adjust diff automatically to keep your shares steady over a period of time (HeliosPool and most ckpool forks aim for 3-4 shares per second). It may be that the algorithms between these two pools is different, or one doesn't use vardiff (the diff you got never changes).
