Thanks very much. All set.

I’ve started mining ftc on FeatherPool.com yesterday, but here comes a problem.
The amount of ftc I currently recive is twice lower than it should be. My hash rate is 1260h/s so I should get about 20 ftc in 8 hours, but after 8 hours of mining I’ve recived only 10 ftc.
Also, in cgminer appears a messages and from time to time. I’ve never recieved it when I mined ltc.

Not responding is most likely a problem with the pool (and sometimes a problem with your connection).
Your best bet is to just keep mining and hope it evens out and or the problem is rectified.

I see the pool’s hashrate almost doubled since yesterday, that might be the problem :).

That seems the case, I think a little ‘sit patiently’ kind of attitude is the best way forward for now. ^^

I’m new to FeatherPool and feathercoin in general.

Just setup my cgminer to start mining at featherpool and it states that it should be pumping out 1.568GH/s I know somethings going awry as I keep getting stale shares or disconnected or something of the sort.

I keep getting Rejected block and

I also notice that the difficulty set for the stratum network is set to 0?

Help?

You should use stratum! stratum+tcp://featherpool.com:9998

But i also have connectivity issues at the moment, losing shares and all.

edit: like this:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://featherpool.com:9998 -u worker.x -p password -I 18

I have, I’ve attempted both, and get similar errors with both.

sheepson

I see you use -I 7, maybe try another number?

I’ve attempted toggeling through others, but I just get lower hashrates, not much else happens :/

Now I can’t even connect to the stratum network?

sheepson

Are you using ‘–scrypt’? Since you get MH/s instead of KH/s?

TheSchlooper

Nice Catch!!

I usually just edit the conf file and I forgot the

“scrypt” : true,

line

Ooop - I believe it is now :)

It had been hanging for a bit, but it seems it just kicked in and is mining away :D

Well…

Yeah thats the issue im also currently having, i think the pool is too busy with the double amount of kh/s since yesterday…

I’m going to stop here for a bit, as I’ve just lost ~150 shares in 10 mins of mining or so…

I read on bitcontalk.org that the pool-owner will be out of town till next wednesday

He says:

Hey all, I appreciate you all letting me know when you have issues. I’m aware of the disconnects, there’s been a DDoS against the pool for almost 24 hours at this point. I’m working with my provider to mitigate as much as possible, within budget. I apologize for the aggravation disconnects can cause.

I will be out of town this weekend, and won’t be online as much. I will be checking email regularly (contact@featherpool.com), and trying to get in on IRC when I can, so please feel free to contact me there. I will return on Wednesday, May 8th. I will be working on the server as time permits, and I look forward to getting things running smoothly.

Thanks for mining on featherpool!

Pool fails. Returns the hash…

Admin, decide the problem!

But:
[i]“News
3 May 2013 Admin will be gone until 8 May”[/i].

MrSheep

If the pool admin is away until next Wednesday, it might be a good idea to fall back to another pool and return to your preferred pool once it has been fixed. Everybody deserves some time off and thus i would mitigate the issues by temporarily mining elsewhere (Does not waste your hashrate, allows the pool to recover and the admin to fix / upgrade the pool once he’s back…)
