MultiAlgo works incorrectly (miner STRATUM link is missing pool address)

[CryptoHashMan]

Hello,

This looks more like a Powershell variable problem. And same mistake is in all Miner PS1 scripts, connection looks like this for every algo: stratum+tcp://:4533

Looking forward to hear your opinion.

Cheers.

[Sniffdog]

yeah it's a pool issue...

[CryptoHashMan]

What do you mean pool issue?

[CryptoHashMan]

Hey, you are definitely wrong :) I wouldn't raise the problem if there would be such noob'ish problem. I am mining that algo separately and it works perfectly but I want to setup algo-switching stuff, and your tool looks good. I would be happy to know if I am doing something wrong but I am not altering any of the files shipped in your package - only wallet address, GPU count and target username (as per guidance)

Could you do some research? As soon as powershell executes the batch for CCminer (any of those that are in your package) - variable supplies empty value that causes stratum string to miss actual pool path.

It means the algo isn't available on that pool or there are issues with that pool.

ok I will download Sniffdog and run again....

Here we go downloading......

finished downloading and made a new folder on computer to place zip file too

Extracting files and exempting folder from windows defender

running startsniffin.bat

adding: CCMiner may need 'MSVCR120.dll' if you don't already have it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=40784

CCMiner may need 'VCRUNTIME140.DLL' if you don't already have it: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145

....since most of ccminer does not include these files in the bin folder for each miner.

allowed powershell to start and tpruvot ccminer remote allow

everything is benching and all api's are working.... no red writing...(sniffdog has jason api for bitcoin and as well each api for each pool listed...Sniffdog will not work properly if these API's "from the pools" are not registering)

allowing benching on all 25 algo's.... proceed and monitor...

Note: I am waiting for ewbf to update.. hopefully soon for BTG

half done benching.... 90 sec interval

Benching complete.... then I would change my interval to my preference

---

If you are trying to use splitsniff... Note that it is in Beta and use at your own risk! This program is for Advance users who know how to port API's to match the ports on the ccminers!

If you wish to split your rig I suggest using nemominer1.7.6. Only downfall is that you can use nemo for one pool and I have not been able to get ewbf working.

No changes are being made

Have a great day!

new main api... removed cryptonator

[cryptomandingus]

So I found out what the issue was and there was an issue

he set his location to Europe and as a result it does not find stratum links, the same issue occurs with nemos miner when it tries to find the API.

Therefore, being European myself in snifferdog.bat how would I set my location to Europe. Would I set to just "EU" rather than "europe" or is it not possible as this is set up only for US users?

Thanks in advance

[Sniffdog]

the default setting is in US in the startsniffin.bat in location

powershell -version 5.0 -noexit -executionpolicy bypass -windowstyle maximized -command "&.\SniffDog.ps1 -Username Tyredas -Workername Beeboop -Currency USD -Passwordcurrency BTC -interval 90 -Delay 1 -Wallet 1AMQg6m9GPDN9HGuC3wJGpSuiZr1XQXjxi -Location US -PoolName zpool,hash,MPH,ahashpool -Type nvidia,cpu -Algorithm phi,hsr,xevan,tribus,c11,lbry,skein,equihash,groestl,sib,bitcore,blakecoin,Nist5,MyriadGroestl,Lyra2RE2,neoscrypt,skunk,keccak,x11evo,veltor,blake2s,hmq1725,x17,lyra2z,timetravel,polytimos -Donate 5

I have tried europe and the only pool that Sniffdog picks up is Miningpoolhub

[cryptomandingus]

No I know that, I was saying that when you change the location to EU it causes it to not find the stratum links

[Sniffdog]

yes cause you are suppose to use "europe" for location not EU

same with asia... but there are not mining pools that sniffdog picks up yet from there (future)

[cryptomandingus]

let me explain this to you more simply (sorry if this sounds condescending):

Here are the steps I followed that DID NOT WORK Go to snifferdog.bat Change location from US to europe# Run snifferdog.bat It starts benchmarking it attempts to run ccminer it cannot find a stratum link to connect to as one does not exist it just says "couldn't connect to stratrum trying again in 30 seconds"

Now what I did to fix this was: Start snifferdog miner and keep the location as US run .bat everything runs fine

This issue is that if I set the location to "europe" the miner does not work, you have not put in stratum links for an EU connection or something link that.

[Sniffdog]

yes because you leave everything "as is" until the benching is done... then change to europe

some algos are not located in europe yet in the sniffdog settings

[cryptomandingus]

ohhh I see, well now that it is done bench-marking I can test that.

yep you were right, that fixed the issue.

Thanks a lot :)

[Sniffdog]

No problem I'm hoping in the near future we will fix that issue so you can successfully have mining in europe :)

[CryptoHashMan]

Thanks Guys, and I am happy that I was not the only one who experienced this, otherwise it's difficult to prove. I will try out your solutions and will update if any other issues. I appreciate your efforts.

Cheers!
