I have checked your address and data. There’s something wrong with TotalRewards. However you have 60M hashpower, so if you mined chain1 you will only get 9QKC/day, 140-200QKC in 2-3 weeks, if you mined chain4 you will get 100QKC/day, 1400-2100 in 2-3 weeks if there aren’t breaks. The result will be more correct if you tell the exactly hours you mined. We engineers will double-check the issue.

By the way, did you make some transctions to RootChain PoSW contract? I noticed that you have some transactions to this contract address, such 1000QKC or 0QKC. We want to know the reason that you did that.

Yes, 1000QKC to RootChain PoSW contract. I did it because I wanted to understand how to make a profit. But i dont. I tried to read tutorials about PoW, PoS, PoSW and smart contracts, but they are written in a language for mathematicians and programmers and English is not my native language. I didn’t find a description for dummies that look like “do this, do that = profit”. So I just did something without understanding how it should work to test it experimentally.

I also do not understand why such different profits on different chains, and why Claymore only works on the first and fourth, and the rest gives errors

Thing is for root chain mining minimal stake is 1M QKC to get 1 POSW block per round.

Looks like qpool is broken. The last block 14 hours ago.
But shares are accepting now:((

I’ve burned 12 hours electricity for 1000Mh and have 0 QKC:(((((

The data wasn’t updated but it doesn’t mean you didn’t get rewards. It shows your rewards now.

What am I doing wrong here?

I can’t tell what’s wrong with your command. Please try Claymore if ethminer doesn’t work.

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool pool.qpool.net:8008 -ewal 0x45121ce48d05fd0f59be26f87d61965de91aa8b9 -eworker bltop0z  -mode 1 -allpools 1

Thanks for the suggestion, but I figured it out.

This is on the Help page of Qpool.net " Please download newest One-Click Miner." This simply doesn’t work which is why I posted my question above.

Your mining instructions say to use the one-button ethminer created by Quarkchain, but only the ethminer from ethereum-mining on GitHub actually works. I did find this in another post, which is a direct conflict. The incorrect instructions should be changed or removed.

Sorry for the misleading.

One-Click Miner Only for Fullnode Mining. We Recommend Offical Release of Ethminer or Claymore When Using QPool.

I have a brand new RTX3070, i tried with one click miner for windows but it fails to initialize cuda, so i tried to configure nanominer in the same way they suggest in the documentation:
shardId=0x50001
farmRecheck=200
coin=Qkc
?pool1 = pool.qpool.net:8058
protocol=getwork
powerLimits=-20
If i run it like this it spams “Quarkchain: couldn’t parse job from pool.” and it generates too much log, if i try with qpool i can’t find any job in a long time… How can i mine? Should i switch to cpu mining?

You can use officially version ethminer(not one click miner, one click miner is for fullnode mining), Claymore or PhenixMiner.

I got problems with unmaintained projects with my RTX3070 T_T, they are not supporting cuda 11.2
As of now i found a solution running gminer against qpool/ontopool

Hi!!
sorry, the question is not quite in the topic, but as a professional you should understand me)

please tell me how I can mine with a phoenixminer on my own full node (cluster), or rather the question is how to pass the parameter to a specific shard

it’s just that in the custom miner ethminer2.0 from the team there is a special parameter --shard-id for this

thanks a lot in advance :pray:
