Prohashing Mining Pool Forums

I'm buying power on nicehash. But why can't I connect to the equihash pool at prohashing? Regardless of the settings, errors are always indicated. What are the errors in my settings?
I am sorry that my level of English is not good, forgive me! Looking forward to answers, very grateful.

I removed the d=4096 in the setting, which is also an error.Error: Result array size not 2.

why bother, no one cares.

Not scrypt or sha-256 miners that you tried to point over to equihash?

Thank you for your advice
I confirm that it is buying equihash miners pointing to equithash pool. However, errors are always indicated. Isn't the prohashing equithash pool not supporting the minehash miners?

Unfortunately, NiceHash does not reply to our support tickets, so we have not been able to get additional information from them about this issue. One customer did ask them about a different issue and received a rude response, so we're not going to get any help from them.

However, you might want to try the new algorithm-specific ports feature that we added. Try connecting to port 3336 for Equihash, and omitting the "a=" password argument. Their problem may be that they see the "set_difficulty" command that is issued before authorization occurs, and assume that the wrong algorithm is being mined. In reality, all they would have to do is to ignore that command and wait for the set_target command to be sent later.

On port 3336, since we know the algorithm is Equihash at connect time, we don't need to send set_difficulty as the other algorithms require.

According to what you said, it's useless. It's still connected incorrectly. The error code is exactly the same.

Unfortunately, the only suggestion I can make here is to submit a support ticket to them, and to ask them what it means when they say that mining.authorize must return a size of 2. I suspect that they will not respond, as they have not to their other customers.

The official stratum protocol documentation, listed at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Stratum_mining_protocol, clearly states that mining.authorize returns either True or False, not two arguments. I really want to figure this issue out, but if they aren't willing to provide more information about what they're looking for, there's nothing more we can do.

Steve, I'm not certain that the error has to do with the mining.authorize.

When a verification is successful it shows something like the following:

Resolving pool host prohashing.com... OK
Establishing connection with proxy... OK
Establishing connection with pool 50.225.198.65:3334... OK
Sending mining.subscribe... OK
Sending mining.authorize... OK
Received mining.notify subscription... OK
Received mining.set_difficulty... OK: difficulty=64
Received mining.notify work... OK
Received authorization result... OK

As such the error seems to be related to the mining.notify subscription line. The mining.authorize result is much later in the series of outputs. Perhaps that is helpful?
