All results are being rejected by the pool. about xmr-stak-cpu HOT 12 CLOSED

"code":20,"message":"Invalid nonce; is miner not compatible with NiceHash?"

Given the hubris of "being compatible with NiceHash", I'm tempted to to just leave the answer as "yes". But I'm in a fairly bad mood today. I will think more about it tomorrow :) Could you try other popular miners and see the results?

I did a bit of searching based on the message you posted.

This pool seems to require an "extranonce" method to function properly.

In cpuminer-opt, it sends another request after logging in: https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt/blob/6f28a67f9cabc17955e42e227e5da5117c813b81/util.c#L1426

Then while it's mining / reads the server messages, it checks for extranonce, https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt/blob/6f28a67f9cabc17955e42e227e5da5117c813b81/util.c#L1231

The website has some information on what it does and what it is for: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=software#devs

Monero has extra nonce that is handled entirely pool-side. This is basically a company that is skimping on development cost by shoehorning bitcoin code to work with XMR. I can make it work, question is, is right to support behavior like that?

I have same issue but after some while , the pool rejects , I use suprnova.cc pool . I think its dev pool problem i didnt check the log . reverting back to first release. and BTW i cant compile ur source in codeblocks 16.01 , didnt update anything .

You are probably trying to use it on windows. What is the pool error?

If you cpu doesn't support hadrware AES, you can't mine XMR. I mean you can, but only if the power is free because 100H/s on 125W cpu won't cover the power bill.

@fireice-uk I switched pools, this can be a nofix or low-priority.

Thanks for the assist.

from xmr-stak-cpu.

No problem. Thanks for voting with your feet. As I said, I much rather prefer to work with the people who don't have the mindset of "we can make that currency/community/network bend to us".

I don't really understand what is the cause but I face same problem using your great application.
I use pool MineXMR.com, usually it is accepted by the pool for hours, but once it is not accepted then it will not be accepted again until I re-run the application.
After I re-run, the results is accepted again.

So, the solution is changing the pool?
Do you have good pool recommendation?

I am thinking to modify the code to re-run itself if the results is rejected for several minutes.

Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry, already see other issue threads at #16

As I said its VPS so the power bill is free :)
thats why i use VPS.
So anyway to run miner as fast as your minner with High hashrates on non-AES CPUs?
or anyway to check if CPU supports AES or no before downloading and installing updates , And if there is a way to enable it?

from xmr-stak-cpu.

Nope. Try wolf's miner. That one is unsupported but it has some ancient, non-aes code.
