You do realise that only the pool you are mining to can send a client.reconnect right? (unless it's a network hack that allows them to steal your hashes) So in the case of that 'service' they can only use reconnect once anyway.

That is a linux kernel, aka operating system, crash message unrelated to the cgminer code but mixed in with the cgminer output. Only an operating system upgrade/downgrade/kernel package fix can make it better. I had the same problem and i tried to change: - SD card - Raspbian version - cgminer version - power supply but nothing changed. I finally solved adding slub_debug=FPUZ to /boot/cmdline.txt More info here: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/372

That will not work on our system since we have to send reconnect requests to get your rig to bounce to the chosen pool. How it works is that you set up a worker in their service. This worker redirects to up to 5 backup pools (for failover). The service then redirects your hashing to either those pools, or, if your miner is rented, to your renter (who also can have 5 pools specified). I've been testing them for a few weeks now with no issues.

In that case then, if you are redirected to a different port on the same domain it should work fine even with the security redirect limiter in place.

I am mining using a Raspberry Pi with cgminer and it hangs after a little while or few hours.
I did read on some pages over the internet that this is due to a "memory paging issue". I don't know what this is and if or it's the correct reason.
Can someone help me with this issue?
PS: I am running Arch Linux on my RPi
Here you go: http://projectklondike.org/how-to-run#rpi-freezeMake sure you're adding this option as described to the existing line, it should look like this:  Good luck! I am not absolutely sure that is a fix for ARCH Linux. The fix you posted is to fix a long standing Raspbian problem. Now I can't say it won't fix it. I can say that mine doesn't exhibit this behavior with ARCH. Best of luck to the person with the problem and I hope they find a solution. EDIT: If you are running out of memory try the newest version maybe a memory leak is causing you grief with the limited RAM. Not 100% sure but Raspbian and Arch using the same Raspberry Firmware/Kernel as far as I understood. I've seen the same behavior on Arch (at least with 3.6.11 up to 3.10.?) and the hint above solved all issues with my 'freezing' Raspberry (in fact it's alive, but USB including the network port is gone). Most likely you'll never see the behavior as long as the number of connected USB devices is fairly low. With let's say 10 or 15+ you will notice issues sooner or later. At least from my experience. Anyway, it's worth a try and of course the latest cgminer is always the best.  I think I was only running 16 on mine. That having been said, I didn't say not to try it. I did say that I wasn't sure it was a fix for ARCH. I had Raspbian for a long time. I got a ton of crashing from it. All related to the usb/Ethernet/mmc being on one controller I think it was. I added the code in question. I spent weeks trying to fix it as I loved being able to use the GUI directly. I had 0 luck keeping Raspian. I would say that when I "upgraded" to ARCH it stopped being a problem. Right now I only have 8 devices per rPi. The peak was 24 devices but some I don't believe ever ran on the pi. I was under the impression that how the OS handled the everything being USB was better on ARCH. I was unaware that apparently the change with how the system handles devices was kernel independent. I suppose one of us was told something incorrectly. That or there are more differences between the two then just one shipping with a GUI and one being more svelte. One uses apt-get and one uses pacman. P.S. Mine says this but I'm not positive it didn't mean Raspbian..... Linux cgminerPi1 3.10.29-2-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Mon Feb 10 04:04:41 MST 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux
Huh well Raspbian and ARCH list 3.10 firmware. I wonder why there would be no kernel change between distributions. I don't know myself so I wonder. I can't seem to find anything specific. If you know something I am missing (I don't use Linux as much as I likely should) I would love to know. Maybe everyone builds from the same source. I don't think so but maybe. If so I suppose it was magic that my 30 minute to 2 hour delay between lockups went away with arch rather then up to date Raspbian. EDIT: I should have looked back. My kernel panic was driver related for Ethernet I believe it was. It would make no difference what system except ARCH was more stable at the time. No idea about now. I also apparently ran 17 Asic devices at a time on raspberry pi. Thank You for letting me know the kernel code is likely nearly identical between them. I hadn't realized. I wonder then why I haven't had more problems.

Updated AntS1 cgminer binary to 4.3.2a The binary and README are in my cgminer-binaries git here: [snip, snip]
Thanks so much for the S1 update Kano, I have it installed and working. Now you just need to get Bitmain to send you a S2, so that you can patch that one too  A shortcut to avoid waiting up to 3 mins for cgminer to restart after clicking "Save&Apply" in the GUI, is to click "Save&Apply" a second time, that'll start it up right away. A tip for those on Windoze like me: to avoid typing those long commands; you can just copy the line from your browser and right click in the putty window to paste it in and press enter

is there a 4.3.3 update for the s1 yet. I haven't seen an official post yet here so I'm on the fence waiting. Miningrigrentals.com says 4.3.2a blocks redirect so I may have problems with them. Only other grief I have with them is pools don't rotate off bad pool (pool not giving share that are possibly dead)[I think]. I accidentally overwhelmed a pool [I think] and it didn't bump me somewhere else. Anyone that wants to play here is my referral address http://www.miningrigrentals.com/register?ref=563

I was under the impression from them that a fix was in order so I hoped 4.3.3 was that. They said 4.2.3a did not have redirect and that would cause problems switching around (check their twitter page for my communication with them). I'm hoping redirect will work so I can use this new product without annoying myself or others if someone rents time on my machines.

How they are redirecting is the cause of their problems. It really makes no sense at all to even allow a redirect to a different pool. The logic behind blocking it is quite sound. If a 'pool' wishes to distribute hashes around the net, then they need to do one of 2 things: 1) run proxies and thus they will control the distribution as required 2) use the API access to handle pool management Hacks to redirect to another pool on startup using a fake pool, or redirecting using the stratum network hack are just that: hacks. They need to develop their pool properly, not by quick hacks that require removing security fixes in cgminer.

They might have but I can see it happen more than once if I don't blink when I change pools on their page. At one point I saw a pool switched to pool y but the speed it's done I know it's done for each pool swap . That's probably why they warn you of 2 minutes to swap out to new pool before thinking somethings wrong.

Well I hope they take your words. I'm sure they're are more doing this but it's a cool feature I want. It's almost like keeping up without having to choose a coin if you get on the rentable list.
The coins I want have halved so far they are a b - word to get anything out of them.
