Prohashing Mining Pool Forums

I've been farming RVN for a long time but decided to switch to ETH. Spent something like 4 hours banging my head trying to figure out which miner to use and the specific syntax each requires. I thought I finally got it working with Claymore but every time my machine finds a share, it's rejected. 100% of the time.

I see posts about other coins having difficulties. Is this related or am I just doing something wrong with the syntax?

I've tried dozens of variants but this seems to work best:

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3339 -esm 3 -ewal MyUser -allpools 1 -epsw "n=MyWorker"

(obviously I replaced MyUser and MyWorks with the actual names)

After 3 failed share submissions I get:

Eth: GPU2: ETH share found!
Eth: Share actual difficulty: 318.0 GH (!)
Eth: Share rejected in 89 ms
Eth: 3 consecutive shares rejected by the pool
Eth: Reconnecting in 5 seconds...
Unable to submit ethash share - pool disconnected

Would love some feedback if anyone gets a moment.

The ETH daemon is currently disconnecting for an unknown reason.

Vance has been troubleshooting the issue, but we don't know when the problem will be resolved at this time. He plans to continue work on it tomorrow.

It turns out that the database had Ethereum Classic defined as the anchor coin for the ethash algorithm, so when ethash miners were directed to connect to it, they would disconnect after receiving invalid work.

This issue has been resolved, and Ethereum mining has resumed as normal.

Woohoo! Success! Thank you both very much!

I was about to make a thread about this. I came to check on my two 5700xt and it said I got disconnected by prohashing despite no errors or hiccups reported on my logs/miner and prohash. It just said I was disconnected remotely by prohash.

So happy it doesn't seem to be me! Thanks for being so active in the forums. I really like this miningpool, a lot look really shady and untrustworthy. Beautiful website with easy tools, it's not a small pool but it's not big either. I really want to buckle down and mine here, just keep making it better. Loading in a 10 GPU rig of 5500xt rx570 and 5600xt on top of these 2 5700xt churning 130-150mh/s at night between the two.

Do you think I'd really benefit from pplns over the default payout with this hardware strictly mining ethereum? These are gonna be 24/7 rigs im doing at home with this cheap rural electricity. So far I've not had a single rejected or suboptimal share after mining for 3 days straight on these 2 5700xt. And I don't know how to monitor the luck of my miner but I'd be happy to for the good of the pool.

I really like this place. I like how it's not insanely popular but shows integrity.
