"no valid shares" on most of my L3+

Post by JAsolutions » Mon Sep 11, 2017 6:32 am

I'm getting "no valid shares" on 30-80% of my L3+.

What is causing this problem and what can I/we do to fix it?

what is the password line you are using?

On the pool status does it show ALIVE or DEAD of prohashing site?

What URL are you using for the site?

Did you spell your miner name case-sensitive to when you made the account?
BOBBIE =/= Bobbie or bobbie

Password line is n=NameXX

I got the URL right - when it says "no valid shares", Miner Status shows Alive and appears to be hashing. It's just the status shown on prohashing dashboard that says "no valid shares". When miner status shows Dead, it's not even shown on prohashing dashboard (mining on backup site).

Miners apparently go on and off from prohashing.com. Frequently. And the problem is worse on some days than others (pretty bad today).

Really seems like a server problem.. if this continues, many people will not want to mine here! Are you upgrading server or sth?

Unfortunately, we've been working on this issue for a month and still don't have any leads. Chris is going to try increasing the rejected share ban threshold today on the theory that because L3s have so much hashrate, they are more likely to submit rejected shares and exceed the ban threshold.

Hopefully, that will make a difference.

Same problem here on all my L3+. I have been mining with no problem for the past 2 - 3 days, but since yesterday I'm getting "no valid shares".

I hope increasing the rejected share ban threshold can fix this.

We just increased the threshold. Have you had more success now?

Hi Steve,
The same is happening with my 2 L3+ miners... they were working fine last week and since yesterday the pool status changes from dead/alive every couple of seconds... while the proxy.prohashing.com:443 has stayed dead...
If there is anything I can do to help let me know...
(I did not see any change in the last couple of minutes, so any change you made did not solve the issue, at least for me)
Thanks,
Ishkatar
