Hey guys, i need some help!!!
As a newbie in this forum i cannot directly write on burnside's thread so i've got to ask here...
I recently was quite disappointed with another pool, so i tried burnside's.
Now i've got a strange problem with LTC Stratum Mining.
I started a few days ago at burnside's and it works very good as long as the server load is low. If it is at mid i have HUGE probs to even start mining and if it starts, my systems show full load but on the status page i see around 60kH/s and 15% stale. (Usually around 800kH/s and 0,3% stale)
It also shows loads of stale in guiminer.
The last three days at 1am (cet, i'm from germany) i had to change to longpoll to keep it going and around 10am when server load is low again i could switch back to stratum.
I'm not really familiar with the technics behind so i don't know, what could cause the Problem, all i know is that i did'nt have such problems in the pools i used before.
I really hope you can help me solve that strange problem!
Thanks a lot and have a nice day,
Dudeniks
PS: I have 2 PC, i5 750@5850 and c2q6600@6950, both running OC and really stable.
This is the error i get on both when i try to start the miner with stratum. When i change to ltc.kattare.com:3333 everything works as usual:
