MC not working with XMR v0.18.1.0

[ei8ht187]

Describe the bug
It is not possible for me to buy XMR hashpower on nicehash. The poolverficator and even connecting miner to the pool fails. Mining with xmrig works without any problems.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Set up a pool in nicehash and test it or buy miningpower

Expected behavior
The test should pass and mining should shart

What error message do you get from the pool verification tool?

[ei8ht187]

Not much information, basically only "unknown message...error"

[oliverw]

Would be helpful to see some pool logs showing the pool side of things.

Erm, they are given in the screenshot part of your template:

Will this be fixed at all?

[seperatis]

@ei8ht187

What did you set the difficulty to in your config?
For Nicehash it must be set to 262144 or higher for difficulty and minDiff

[ei8ht187]

minDiff was set to 25000, difficulty itself to 500000. Since the hardfork with Monero 0.18.1.0 there is another problem. No miner can connect at all... Don't have a testenvironment ready at the moment, so can't do debug or trace logs. Maybe someone else can help with that or share a working configuration

[seperatis]

@ei8ht187

Like I said, minDiff must be set to 262144 or higher. This is according to Nicehash's Pool Operator Guidelines. The minDiff is a Requirement for compatibility with Nicehash, it is not a recommendation. If you do not set it as they specify, the Pool Verification tool will not work.

So please try setting the minDiff to their specification of at least 262144 or higher & report back.

At the moment, my problem is not nicehash. This will reoccur when XMR works again at all. Then I am really willing to test the proposed setting from you with minDiff higher than 262144, even I don't think this is the problem, because the connection attempt, as shown in the screenshot, fails before the difficultychek.
But at the moment it will be completely senseless. For me, even on a completely new installation doesn't work. I can't get XMRig to connect to a XMR Stratum proxy. It just closes the connection. This behaviour is since Monero Version 0.18.1.0, the one with the hardfork.

A tracelog from a testinstallation on my local PC with two polls from the monero RPC and a connection attempt in the middle, looks as following. I used XMRig v6.18.0 for this:

Maybe @oliverw this is helpful for you.

Well then you shouldn't have opened an Issue with the Title "XMR Poolverficator from Nicehash fails" b/c when you do that, it makes it sound a whole lot like your issue is with Nicehash Pool Verification.

Your complaint has now changed to "I can't get XMR pool to work at all"? Right?

@oliverw
Do we know if MC is currently compatible with the recent Monero hard fork on 13th August, 2022?
That would be Monero v0.18.1.0

Take a look at the age of this issue (opened in April 2022). Then look again when Monero 0.18.1.0 was released (August 2022). Back then when I opend this issue, it was a problem with nicehash. Now the problem has shifted. I could opt to open a new issue or use this one, as I have the feeling that this two problems are somehow related.

Also, I mentioned in my reply yesterday #1175 (comment) that the problem has shifted.

Your complaint has now changed to "I can't get XMR pool to work at all"? Right?

Totally agree to this.
