It's the new driver. I'm seeing this too with 13.1

The previous driver 12.10 was fine. I'll be rolling back to the older driver soon as it is rather annoying!

is gpumax down for others? my miners arent getting any work and occassionally when they do the shares all being rejected

That's how mine is.  About 50/50 public/private.

Usually they're for fun, but in this particular circumstance it's a way to get a BitForce Single with a guaranteed delivery time.

It's not really a problem as much as it is people buying shares on pools that can't handle the load which we are still fine turning to protect our miners.  Updates coming soon will address this and make buyers pay for rejects on pools that have issues so the miners are not penalized for it.

EDIT: We get a lot of pools ops testing their system which is not something miners should have to pay for with rejects and stales.

Well you can actually do it from within cgminer anyway:
Press "P" for Pool management
"S" for Switch pool
and then the number of the pool -> this will make it the top priority pool

So if you have pools 0, 1 & 2 but want the priority to be 2, 1, 0
You would first switch to 1 then switch to 2

As for the other half
I've just put up a pull request to ckolivas (after I asked him if he was interested in it - he said no)
to allow one "include":"filename" in the json file (which is allowed to be recursive - up to 10 times - to avoid infinite loops)
It's simple and will not be made more complex.

If you save the configuration from within cgminer, the output will contain ALL settings (except will not contain the "include" setting)
The reasoning behind this is that if you change anything within cgminer, there could be complex multiple definition issues and all settings loaded and changed would need attributes about where they came from and if they were changed - way too complex.
Also, if you set a setting within cgminer that was in an included file, the included file would always override it, your setting would never stick.

Separating just the pools and only having them in their own file would be a backward compatibility problem.

Hopefully the simple solution is enough, coz I can't see a more complex version ever being implemented (since it would require a major redesign of how configuration settings are handled within cgminer)

We'll see if he allows it in or not

Can I have the 2nd one
With the API, you simply move any pool of choice to position 0 (highest priority).
The number of moves to get the required order is at maximum, the number of pools.
How many pools do you have anyway?

Hmm well dynamic could be the culprit then indeed. And that won't really have anything to do with the 2nd thread being disabled, but perhaps because the worksize is constantly changing, it might not be offsetting the right amount and repeating work. That will need fixing...

i think the shipping will kill the deal. probably will cost $40+ due to its size.

Wrd.  I remember for my Visa merchant account I was paying 14% off the top.  It's just ridiculous.

Purchase agreement with leveer negotiated per the following terms:

- 2 AMD Rigs $60 + $65 = $125
- 2 Used Seasonic 850W Silver PSUs $60 + $60 = $120
- Shipping cost of $15
- Ship method will be UPS Ground to 99220 and will ship within 24 hours of receipt of BTC
- $260 total settled in BTC at rate of $4.05/BTC totaling 64.19 BTC to be paid to: 1PewxJ5Q1RUzths1HZ9V5H3qMVmwNUxdV8
- BTC amount listed valid for 4 hours.

If all agreeable reply/quote this post and send BTC as listed above.
