What are the benefits to the later versions of CGMIner?
Im using 3.1.0 for a while now, never saw a reason to update-
I am using 3.1.1 and have not had to recompile to fix the disconnect/drop issue. I don't know if there is any advantage with the newer versions, especially on middlecoin - can anyone comment on this? Also, the switch/disconnect frequency seem to had dropped way off, looks like the fix has rolled out. I'm absolutely seeing higher avg hash rates since the last few hours. |

I can only speak for myself though I have no issue with the current pool fee. I'm hearing a lot of calls for a reduction in the pool fees for the recent troubles/bugs though I disagree. The fact that you are spending the time to fix them and continue to make the pool better are why you deserve these fees to begin with. Your efforts allow me to live my life and spend zero time constantly monitoring exchange rates, changing pools, exchanging coins, etc. If people are worried about maximizing their hashpower and profits, there are better, but more time consuming ways for doing that IMO. Time is money so it evens out in my perspective. Just my opinion, YMMV  |

Connecting from the UK to US and seems fairly solid at the mo. Had maybe a dozen getwork failures in the past 3 hours.

Can't do that? Then you are out of luck. |

I noticed some recent changes as well.
Has the coin name been inside the job name before? Like DOG_something or MOO_something? :-)

I'm absolutely seeing higher avg hash rates since the last few hours. Likewise here. Hashrate on US has improved by about 10% for my rigs. |

I wonder if H2O will end up pulling that so other pools can't easily detect his mining algorithms.  As a miner it's nice to see it though. |

The US server now has the new code, which doesn't disconnect on coin switches. It's bugged to have 1% extra rejects, which show up as "duplicate shares".

Great, thanks. I've noticed it's been performing much better these past few hours.

This is great news. Is the ETA until bug fix still Sunday? |

No idea really. We're just going to run with the bug for a while. ETA on the EU server being setup right is moved up to tomorrow night. |

I would recommend doing that. I have seen less than a minute of downtime on the US server in the last 5 hours... only 2 disconnects and both resumed in seconds. |

I also noticed this recently, although only once I started to use cgminer 3.1.1. Personally, I don't think it makes much of a difference whether the names are there or not since it isn't too hard to determine what is being mined by looking at the reported network difficulty in cgminer. |

Thanks h2o for your efforts!
To everyone else whining, if you are not happy move to another pool. If you don't like the fees, move to another pool.
I've been mining on the pool for 17 days straight on the US server with a decent amount of hashing power. I've consistently made a decent amount of profit regardless of any small issues, have not had to restart a single one of my mining instances, and very happy with pool in general.
