SHA-256 mining issues
Posted: Mon Mar 19, 2018 5:01 pm
There are currently some issues with SHA-256 mining caused by an invalid address we are trying to mine one of the coins to.
The only way to determine the address without restarting the server is to manually go through every coin and examine it. There are about 100 coins, so if we can do one per minute, this should take a few hours. Now that we know the cause, it shouldn't take long to get SHA-256 mining running smoothly.
The reason SHA-256 mining worked smoothly some of the time is because no miners were being assigned to the coin with the invalid address. I suspect that this new CashAddr format is responsible, so I wouldn't be surprised if Bitcoin Cash is the cause.
