So I put it back to port 3333 for now...  Another thing I noticed as well,  it starts out well,  working as it should,  then it seems all of a sudden it gets a whole bunch of Rejected,  then it shows the pool as Dead for a little bit...  Then it comes back up, and keeps doing that...

What is the auto difficulty adjusting to after 3 or 4 minutes?

LSDiff Seems to stay at 1024,  which on other pools runs fine...

[Nortron]

Wierd...  Seems ok now...  Been running about 30 mins..  LSDiff is now showing 1536,  but only 2 rejected and 0 stale....

Will let it keep going and see what happens...

Thanks,

Thanks,

Antminers had issues with diffs set as powers of 2.  Not sure if that was the cause of your problems.  If you want to test it on my pool, please feel free to do so (my pool starts at a 1042 - not a power of 2)... and then come back and mine with BCMonster - I'm definitely not trying to poach any miners, just offering you up another test environment.

Scratch that..  Just threw 350 Rejected, and now shows the pool as offline...

Wierd,  Does it with your pool as well...  The "Diff1#" Number jumps up (Currently 6200971) and the "DiffA#" is low, (Currently 6252),  LSDiff is 1042,  and did the same thing,  6 Accepted,  493 Rejected,  Pool shows as offline for a min...

Let me take a look at the logs to see if I can spot anything...

[jonnybravo0311]

Yeah... there's definitely an issue.  You authorize fine, submit a few shares fine, then BAM you're sending massive quantities of rejects.  The reason the pool looks dead?  It bans you because of flooding.  The following are snippets from the pool stratum server logs.  Passwords and IP addresses removed .

Well..  That makes sense...  now I wonder Why it's doing it...

I could understand a hardware issue if it acted like this for all pools,  but it works fine on Kano, nicehash, bitminter....

Odd....

My rental is done, now it looks like Bitcoin directory is picking up some hashing power.

Due to popular request I added a few Fixed Diff ports for people with old miners CPU's for video cards that wanted to mine.
As Follows

Fixed Difficulty:
port 3332 = diff 2
port 3334 = diff 256
port 3335 = diff 1024
port 3336 = diff 2048

Let me know if anyone else needs more.

Any of the pool members located in the US interested in purchasing my S7 or my Sp20e along with their power supplies? My variable power rates are killing me here and need to figure out a hosted solution. Shipping out to bitclouder would cost $600usd so thats out of the question.

[Nortron]

I would love to,  but 1) I'm in Canada and 2) i'm Broke...  lol

I would ship to canada but being broke is the dealbreaker lol. For the time being I removed my sp20e and might turn it back on next month once my new provider kicks in.

I would mine in this pool if only my other miners were free. I get another one in July from my parents (a miner a year from them rig currently a few s5s) so we'll see in july. Otherwise a great pool, I switched a s5 to this pool a month ago I think, and it was pretty fun. I'll keep checking this thread, though.

Move your miners over!  need some more good dedicated base hash.  

Thowing up a rental!  Lets hope for some one else to find a block

[Nortron]

My S2 is now running fine on your pool with the new ports...  no issues anymore,  Thanks!

I still have some rentals running, but I'll leave my S2 running...  Working on upgrading my Equipment,  but we'll see...

Thanks,

Great!  Glad we were able to work that out!

Decided to swallow the power cost for this month until I get my new provider and brought the sp20e back into the pool with my s7 until the sp20e sells. I figured if I am going to pay out of the nose for power it might as well be two s7's instead. So on the hunt for another s7 as we speak. Lets find that fourth block!
