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 -

[/quote]I have, I’ve attempted both, and get similar errors with both.
-
I see you use -I 7, maybe try another number?

[/quote]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?
-
Are you using ‘–scrypt’? Since you get MH/s instead of KH/s?
-
Nice Catch!!
I usually just edit the conf file and I forgot the
“scrypt” : true,
line

[/quote]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…

[/quote]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 wednesdayHe 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…
http://prntscr.com/138ol2Admin, decide the problem!
But:
[i]“News
3 May 2013 Admin will be gone until 8 May”[/i]. -
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…)

I am getting connection timeout on stratum.
-
Featherpool diff share is normally 31 now I get 18.4E and the pools hash rate has dropped to 0
-
Switching to Geek pool. Or Foreman, if Geek will not withstand the pressure.
-
Thanks for info. Next time I would recommend to add a notice to the News section of the pool.

[/quote]1. I wanted to also agree with this poster that communication is key when there is a problem or change on the pool. ESPECIALLY some type of very noticeable “ATTENTION MINERS” if the pool is temporarily shut down.
2. I was just credited for some unpaid shares" that are being caught up on (thanks) that have moved to the “paid shares” column, however the .9 FTC I just sent from the pool was NOT received after almost 30 minutes now. I sent another much larger amount from another pool also and I received the transaction notification instantly from my wallet.
Not sure what happened.
Would enjoy being apart of the pool once its all hashed out. -
OK, it required over an hour, but that single FTC I sent to my wallet from the pool I had mentioned has been picked up by my wallet and being confirmed. I was getting amazing speed on confirmations a few days ago, but the 2 I just sent to myself are requiring quite a bit of time. Does this have anything to do with fewer miners…or? Just a noob here wondering.
