Miners

  • Miners/GPUs - the number of mining rigs and associated GPUs that are currently operating. If this number is less than the number of miners you have defined in the Preferences dialog, this line will display in Yellow as an alert to you.
  • Hash Rates - the total hash rate for your mining farm. If this value differs from the expected hash rate by more than the value you defined in the Preferences dialog, this line will display in Yellow as an alert to you.
  • GPU Temps - if you only have one or two GPUs, this will display actual temperatures, otherwise it will display a general status value of Ok. If any of your GPUs exceed the expected operating range, this will change to Alert, and the line will display in Yellow.
  • Hash faults: the total number of hash faults that have been reported from your mining farm over the last 24 hours. This line will display in Yellow if any of your miners have exceeded the user defined hash fault limit. Note that the limit is based on the number of hash faults in the last 4 hours.

Mining Activity

  • Last Solution - the last time you mined a block
  • Next Solution - an estimate of when you will mine your next block, based on your current hash rate and the network difficulty. Please note that there is no guarantee that you will mine a block by this time. The generation of hashes (mining) is a completely random process. It is like rolling a dice. Variance will affect your mining results. Sometimes you will mine a block sooner, sometimes later.
  • Target - the upper 64 bits of the current network Target, sometimes referred to as the Boundary. If your miner finds a hash value lower than the target, you will become the miner of the next block, and receive the appropriate reward. This is sometimes referred to in MVis documentation as finding a solution. The target value is inversely proportional to the network difficulty level, according to the formula Target64 = 2^64 / Difficulty
  • Best Hash: the upper 64 bits of the best hash found by your mining rigs, since you last mined a block. Remember, lower is better.

Network

  • Block Number: current network block number as reported by your node
  • Block Time - the amount of time that has passed since a block was mined on the network. (Not just your mining farm). If more than 3 minutes go by, this line turns red. It may indicate that your node has fallen behind the rest of the network. As the ice age slowly comes into effect, the average block time is gradually increasing. At some point, 3 minutes might be too short, resulting in unnecessary alerts. Click here for instructions to adjust this.
  • Peer Count - the number of other nodes that your node is in communication with.
  • Balance - the current balance of your mining account, in Ethers. This line will cycle through one of five colors every time you mine a block, to give you an easy-to-see visual indicator of this event.

Close Hits

The last 5 close hits found by your mining farm. Smaller is better.
