Zeus Miner running on Raspberry PI with Starminer and CGminer 4.3.5

Post by jkleohart22193 » Sat Aug 12, 2017 1:30 pm

Hi I have a Zeus Thunder X3, Zeus Lightning X6, 2X Zeus Hurricane X3, and 2 and a half Gridseed G blades on the pool.

The Starminer Stats for the equipment as far as hash rates is extremely close. The pool shows about 14.5 MHs and the Star miner Software shows 14.5 MHs.

The Zeus miners are way off. The Lightning X6 shows approximately 48Mhs with the starminer software, but the pool usually shows 28MHs. When it first connects to the pool it will usually show over 40MHs. Below is the Config file. I tried using the "h" argument in the password field, but I didn't see any changes.

{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333",
"user" : "jkleohart22193",
"pass" : "n=1 h=5"
},
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:3334",
"user" : "jkleohart22193.1",
"pass" : "x"
}
]
,
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1",
"api-description" : "cgminer v4.3.5-sm",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-mcast-addr" : "224.0.0.75",
"api-mcast-code" : "FTW",
"api-mcast-des" : "",
"api-mcast-port" : "4028",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "120",
"hotplug" : "5",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "30",
"scan-serial" : "zeus:auto",
"scrypt" : true,
"shares" : "0",
"verbose" : true,
"zeus-chips" : "256",
"zeus-clock" : "258",
"zeus-nocheck-golden" : true,
"zeus-nocheck-scrypt" : true
}

The other Zeus miners have similar configs.

In summary:

Zeus Lightning X6 = 48MHs prohashing pool = 28 MHS user = 1
Zeus Thunder X3 = 28MHs prohashing pool = 20 MHS user = 2
Zeus Hurricane X3 (x2) = 32MHs prohashing pool = 22 MHS user = 3
Gridseed G-blades (x2.5) = 14.5MHs prohashing pool = 14.5 Mhs user = 4

Below is the gridseed config

{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333",
"user" : "jkleohart22193",
"pass" : "n=4"
},
{

You have very slow miner and using vardif. Prohashing calc this (what i see over months) "topdown" and try to set the max. diff as possible. For some miner is this the hell. For example my bfgminer dont calc the hashrate correkt with diff over 64k.

Delete your "h" arguments and set with your 14MHs the lowest diff as possible. From experience i would say 1024 and the highest for you is 4096.

I moved my Zeus Lightning X6 over to multipool (straight LTC) to get a read on hash rate and the 10 minute hash rate is 42614. I think that means 42MHs.

The slowest miner is working great. No issue there. Testing other pools the miners are working fine. I already hashed 2 days without using "h". Same issue.

I am going to try mining just ltc here to see if the coin switch is the issue.

What do I put in the passwork field to mine ltc? c=ltccoin, c=ltc, c=litecoin?

nothing.

go to setting and chooise litecoin as payout coin.

Do it with the diff how i say and wait any hours before you change anything,
And make scantime = 1



And this is not twitter. Please use the "Edit"-Button ;-)

prohashing allows you to get your payout in whatever currency you wish, but if you specifically want to mine only ltc shares, then add "c=litecoin" to your password. you will not get block rewards for mining ltc directly, if you want to receive block rewards you can solo mine litecoin by adding "m=solo c=litecoin" however you will not receive any payout for shares you solve, only payout you receive is found block rewards.
