Kryptex Mining Pool

[sfalas01]

Hello,

Could you please consider adding Kryptex mining pools? It even has a referral link you can incorporate into this.

Thanks!

Parameter Email has been added to pools.config.txt for Kryptex. Put your Krypted registered eMail into that field to activate all coins.

Kryptex looked like an interesting autoexchange pool with no KYC to supplement zergpool, so I signed up for an account. After entering the email address I used in pools.config.txt and checking the Kryptex box in Setup, RBM started benchmarking with ERG using TREX.

However, the console showed it wasn’t mining anything. The error messages were: “failed to stratum-authorize on erg.kryptex.network:7777” and “Invalid login”. It looks to me like the RBM command string for Trex wasn’t passing the email address to Kryptex. Kryptex says that the wallet format for using it in this manner should be [your@email.com/WORKER_NAME], but no email address appeared in the RBM command string. The next miner RBM tried, Teamblack for ETHW had the same issue – the wallet parameter had “/WORKER_Name” but no email address.

There seems to be an issue with RBM passing the Kryptex email address to the miners.

Is this fixed yet? Have you found any workaround?

[coolbreeze21]

It is not yet fixed as far as I know. I would think it requires an update and there has been none since 4.9.1.0, which has the issue. I don't want to attempt a workaround, only to have to reverse it when this gets fixed in RBM.

It is possible that RainbowMiner missed the issue report in a thread he had marked "implemented". I have found him very responsive in the past. If there is no response after a week, or the next release, I will repost the issue in a separate thread. Or you can do so now, if you want to nudge him sooner.

I am working on a fix myself but the pull requests usually don't get implemented fast enough. I get it, it's different to review code rather than do it yourself. If found and fixed some bugs in the pool.config but there's a problem with how miners interpret the username. Since some of them include the username with the pool address, the @ symbol in the email get's interpreted as the pool address and tries to connect to your email domain instead of the pool address. I will test some more miners on the pool and see. Xmrig works fine as of now.

Edit (will update fully later on)

What doesn't work:

• MiniZ (GPU)
• Nanominer (CPU & GPU)
• Phoenix (GPU)
• lolminer (kHeavyHash, HeavyHashPyron)
• Rigel (Dual-Mining)
• BzMiner (Ethash-based algos)

disable nanominer reboot re-run tests for other algos.

@RainbowMiner @coolbreeze21
I have submitted #2591 which contains a workaround for the Kryptex email issue if you want to test it out. As I stated in my earlier comment:

It seems that the reason for this is that the @ symbol is interpreted as an end of line or another separator symbol, which breaks a lot of miners and how they treat the syntax of their parameter strings so there's not much you can do about it.

[RainbowMiner]

Thank you very much! I will look into it.

[RainbowMiner]

We might try to convert @ to %40 in the miner command line.

Yes, that might work!

Not all algorithms are valid for account-mining on Kryptex. I have added commit 6ec65cb to filter out account-mining for non-valid algorithms.

Kryptex added pyrin and karlsen to the autoexchange feature.

[RainbowMiner]

Thank you! I have updated the pool.

There's something going wrong at least with MiniZ, noticed this while benchmarking after changing OC profiles.
