HeroMiners shows no profit

[Yamanipanuchi]

Is this a bug, or do I need to tweek my settings?

HeroMiners shows up 0 for profitablity.

[RainbowMiner]

Thank you for pointing it out. It should show a profit. I'll check asap.

[Yamanipanuchi]

Noticed it for ETH and XMR on HeroMiners.

[Yamanipanuchi]

Not sure if this is anything to add, But when it does show a number on a system it still does not mine it.

HeroMiner shows a higher BTC/Gh/Day yet it still favors Nicehash.

[Yamanipanuchi]

Once I remove the MaxTimeSinceLastBlock for that pool the numbers show up correctly and HeroMiners looks to be more profitable in the "All Pools" tab but Nicehash is still favored. I cant seem to see why.

Debug from one of the systems that theoretically would be mining HeroMiner/ETH but is not. Just in case it might help.

[RainbowMiner]

Ahh! Sure. That's the reason: RainbowMiner takes care about pools, that do not find blocks in time. The profitability is degraded more and more, the longer ago the last block has been found. Also, it might be the case, that the pool is out of sync.
There are the formulas:

• if MaxAllowedLuck is set to a value greater than 0
  • PFC = PFC / (PoolLuck - MaxAllowedLuck + 1)
• if MaxTimeSinceLastBlock is greater than 0 and the pool's time since last block is greater than MaxTimeSinceLastBlock, the comparison price will be decreased:
  • PFC = PFC / ( (PoolTimeSinceLastBlock - MaxTimeSinceLastBlock)/3600 + 1 )
• all prices will be decreased by an inverse logarithmic function, depending on how far a pool is out of sync (current-time minus last-price-or-hashrate-update time)

[RainbowMiner]

My conclusion: do not mine to a pool, that needs long to find a block. It will decrease your profitability significantly.

[Yamanipanuchi]

Makes sense. and that is what I suspected it to be. If I wanted to force RBM to mine on Hero for ETH, What would I want to modify?

Conceal hardforked to CN GPU,
haven't update yet on rbminer

[RainbowMiner]

Thank you! These fork information is very helpful. I'll update the coins database asap.

[RainbowMiner]

Ok, database is updated.
