Hello, I am trying to setup a stratum proxy server on a computer here in my house and point my 5 S3's at it.. I have had the server setup and running however the antminers keep timing out and not getting more work for a while.. can someone please copy and paste a config file on here for that setup.. I would like to use it with westhash.com, thanks.

This westhash.com is interesting...

Why do you need a proxy for the S3's? Shouldn't they be able to handle stratum?

Now I know what this is all about: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=850620.0

This is what I put in my stratum-proxy-nicehash.conf file.  Also I would get nothing but rejects if I used http://my server ip address:8332 in my antminer pool address on the web UI even though the pool status is live, so I had to make "disableStratum": false, and put stratum+tcp://my server ip address:3333  to get the miner to start hashing.  I pointed several miners to the proxy and it made my difficulty go up on westhash.com so I made a separate folder for each miner and ran separate instances of the stratum proxy for each miner to keep the difficulty to 512 for each miner.  kinda defeats the purpose of pointing all your miners to a single server proxy and putting "d=256" in the password on the conf file was ignored by westhash.com, so that didn't work to keep difficulty low.  All you have to do is in each folder, change the last digit of the port address on "stratumListenPort, getworkListenPort, "apiListenPort.  Each folder should also have its own conf file and bat file with java -jar stratum-proxy.jar -f stratum-proxy-nicehash.conf to start each instance of the proxy.

Because Extranonce Subscribe is not enabled in the current version of antminers cgminer.  They say it is better for the pool but i can tell the difference.  My payouts and reject rates seem to be the same.
