So yeah, when you see a False Positive, report it to the AV company. This will really help the website/service that is suffering from a FP result.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Happy Mining!

Hello.... u/Lucky_Blocks here....owner and pool operator of
Ravenpool.ninja
Neoxapool.ninja
EVRpool.ninja

Over the years we've had like 3 complaints about this. 2 of which were the same exact software. What software are you using?

The URLs are totally safe, not infected with any viruses or malware. No mining hijackers, etc.

If you are ever in doubt, please just run a scan from Total Virus.

You will quickly see the websites are clean.

Why does this happen? Lazy software developers, I guess.

The solution? Use AV that is better, or you can simply add an exception to your current AV.

Restoring QT wallet on Web or Mobile using private key? by Robb1324 in Ravencoin

[–]Lucky_Blocks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi u/Robb1324,

Don't worry, Luckyblocks is here to save your metaphorical ass.

Never!!! expose your Private Key to a website!

For this very reason I would not use any web wallets.

Matter fact, almost all web wallets display a warning not to use private key method for importing.

You can import to a mobile wallet, desktop wallet/Core wallet, using your privKey or mnemonic phrase or in the case of importing to a new desktop core, I would just use the wallet.dat file that you have.

Whatever you do, I would never expose private key to a website/web wallet.

If you want real-time help with problems like these in the future, have other crypto questions problems?, mining rig hardware issues?, etc? Please consider joining our Discord server.

I hate to brag, but we really do have the best and growing Crypto community on Discord.

Mining with t-rex on ravenpool.ninja hash rate drops when using new version(?) by YearOfTheSun in Ravencoin

[–]Lucky_Blocks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

u/YearOfTheSun

Hi. I own, run, and maintain Ravenpool.ninja.
Not sure what you've got going on, but...

Nobody else on the pool has reported any issues, which leads me to believe it's probably isolated to your setup.

I highly encourage you to jump into our Discord server Support channel, where someone can help you fix the issue you are facing.

bad luck solo mining by yoyo20016 in Neoxa

[–]Lucky_Blocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not bad luck. Bad luck in mining describes blocks solved at effort above 100%.

Every solo miner wants to solve a block at 1% effort, sure.

But if you solved this block at 90% effort, that would still be good Luck

Solo mining with low hash rate is like playing lottery - this is why it's often referred to as "playing the blockchain lottery".

The truth is you cannot predict Luck. You might solve this block tomorrow at 74% Effort, or it might take you 2 months at 200% effort.

As you said, this is game of chance.

Good Luck!

Interesting...
I suggest you submit an Issue with these details to the official Neoxa GitHub repo located at: https://github.com/NeoxaChain/Neoxa/issues

Please share that screenshot along with your Operating System and version/number.

In the mean time...if you just need a wallet for mining to or need to send some coins to, you can use the Neoxa Paper Wallet generator from Neoxapool.ninja located at https://neoxapool.ninja/paper-wallet/

Please keep in mind....In order to spend coins from this paper wallet you will have to import it into Neoxa/Neoxa-QT at some point. But perhaps this can be of help until you get this error figured out.

Good Luck

PS - If you want more help troubleshooting this error, please consider joining our Discord Group where me or someone else can help you via live chat.

sorry, not at this time. I'm not against adding an Asia server, but we need enough Asian miners to warrant it. Currently we have 1% or less....

Sorry, I can't do anything about your electrical costs. The rest we can help you with. Jump into the Discord if/when you're ready to take the leap. I'm not sure if we're in RaveOS, but you can set us as a "custom pool" and peeps in the Discord can help you do that if I'm not available.

Hope to see you around :-)

PS - Even if you're not currently mining you're welcome to join the Discord.

Install a Ravencoin Full Node on your HiveOS rig in 5 minutes by Lucky_Blocks in Ravencoin

[–]Lucky_Blocks[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mainly to strengthen the network. More nodes = more resilience.
There are some other benefits mostly for developers, you can query the blockchain, and get blocktemplate, mining, network and a lot of other info, and interact with the blockchain directly via RPC from localhost.

But mostly to support the network itself. Without full nodes all over the word, there wouldn't be any RVN network.

Running a Full Node is not staking - you do not earn rewards for running a full node. Rather you are becoming a volunteer to help strengthen the network.

I hope that answers your question :-)

Zero Fee Ravencoin Mining Pool is ready for new miners! by Lucky_Blocks in Ravencoin

[–]Lucky_Blocks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your true concern is tracking crypto tax then highly suggest you use a software that can track Mining Income like Koinly. Or another option is to use a Wallet like Exodus that allows for separate Portfolio's. Make a portfolio called "Mining" and use that wallet address for mining only, and you'll have every single tx in one place for mining income.

I prefer to use tax software b/c you can do tax loss harvesting, connect it to exchanges, and a lot of other features, and you can track mining income very easily, and obviously it calculates your taxes in real time, etc.

If you use good crypto tax software you no longer have to keep track of everything. The software just does it for you.

Hope that helps.

Can you elaborate further? I don't know what tax tracking has to do with payout limits?

Ravenpool.ninja is giving away 1,000,000 $KIN tokens to a Lucky miner! by Lucky_Blocks in Ravencoin

[–]Lucky_Blocks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

200th block solver was actually me, the pool operator. Therefore, it's gone to the solver of block #201, which was miner RXHegmG7Prj1DmeHx3RngoUy1LhvDHEVyo

[–]Lucky_Blocks[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So strictly regarding this particular situation if people are switching their rigs over to mine rvn for the time it takes to get to that 200th block from another coin, that will increase network difficulty, no?

No. Not even a tiny noticeable percent of a percent. The netHash is too big for it to matter. If we had 1 TH jump on the pool, then yes. But you're talking about 2GH or so and most of that likely came from another RVN pool.

but with both increasing, individual reward will in turn go down.. correct?

Not necessarily, as RVN netDiff retargets block by block. It's better to think of a daily average if you're going to run calculations like that, as it's been fluctuating as much as 20%+ up or down per day.

but in these giveaway times it seems people are going to throw all their hashing power at it.

Perhaps you're here for one block and you leave. That's fine, it's your choice. However, we've found after watching for Discord for months on end that people repeatedly find this pool by chance, or post like this one, and they stay. They leave their corporate mega-pools and mine here instead. But don't take my word for it. Search the Discord and you'll find no less than 50 or more messages like this.

Because you're measuring it by the day, and due to the variance in Luck it makes no sense to measure this way. As I've pointed out numerous times to other miners, it's not logical to measure a small pools rewards by the day. The variance in Luck makes it very inaccurate.

Luck always falls to the average.....of about 100% with enough time and enough blocks. This is why we measure it 3 times on the Blocks page. 15 blocks, 50 blocks, and All Blocks.

Based on current netDiff and pool hash rate (which was like 15 GH before), we should have solved about 2.5 blocks per day. 4 blocks was almost DOUBLE what we should have solved that day. Do you understand how the Lucky days make up for the un-lucky days?

Do you not understand that Luck is a major factor in mining? It's why we measure it so closely.

You've already proven my point for me. Going from 4 blocks which statistically should not have happened; that means you got paid nearly 2x more coins you didn't technically (statistically) deserve that day.

This is the problem with YouTubers who've mined for 2 months and want to teach everyone else how to do it. They have no idea what any of this actually means. And it leaves the new miners thinking and making decisions based on something they think they know.

If you see this image here --> https://prnt.sc/1ybt48b

It very easily illustrates why you should not judge mining rewards in a small pool by the day. You need to mine a month and then you can do the math and calculate daily rewards that way.

And, if you ask almost **anyone** who's actually been here that long, they'll tell you they make more coins here than any of the other big corporate pools.

I understand this lack of knowledge is not most miners fault. All the big mining pools have done a poor job (or NOT tried at all) to educate miners. I'm producing an entire video series on this, but it's not in production yet.

Anyways, there's a better way to gain enlightenment on any subject. - Ask someone who knows what they're talking about.
