1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's CryptoNote GPU Miner v9.7 on: September 09, 2017, 11:39:10 PM
Bug Report Claymore CryptoNote GPU Miner  v9.7 Beta on Windows 10

1. cryptonote miner does not do a correct look up for addresses (this seems to happen a lot around windows), e.g. it will resolve all dns addresses always to the first address even when multiple adresses available, therefore making dns round robin ineffective, eg.

fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com resolves always to 5.9.58.111 which is currently down and stops the miner.

temporary workaround add a line to c:\WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc/hosts (which is surprisingly tricky on windows ask google)
        176.9.147.178   fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com

Correct handling would be using round robin on the total list of adresse for

user@work3:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/drivers/etc$ host fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com
fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com has address 5.9.58.111
fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com has address 176.9.147.178
fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com has address 46.4.120.155
fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com has address 176.9.47.243
fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com has address 138.201.124.177
fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com has address 176.9.2.145
fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com has address 176.9.0.89
fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com has address 138.201.60.198
fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com has address 94.130.9.194
fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com has address 176.9.147.78

2. at first i thought i only need to change the command line from
NsGpuCNMiner -o stratum+tcp://fcn-xmr.pool.minergate.com:45590 -u user -p x
to
NsGpuCNMiner -o stratum+tcp://176.9.147.178:45590 -u user -p x
but the miner does not accept this as a valid pool address. doesn't look right in my humble oppinion.
