Hi abrcadabra,

We tried that, see above. Woke up this morning to an inbox full of worker idle notification emails...... Huh

Can you post your hashrate?

In the meantime, what happens if you manually set vardiff to 1?

Hi Organ,

Rig 1 = 1.5 gig
Rig 2 = 2 gig
Rig 3 = 1.3 gig

All are gpu rigs running latest cgminer. I usually use eustratum as that's the closest with the lowest ping time for me (but I have noticed it has almost doubled lately), and it's been fine for months, but the last few days I'm getting a constant flow of worker idle notifications no matter what server I use. I've tried adjusting the vardiff to 1, 2 & briefly to 3 but it makes no difference. When another user said he had the same problem I presumed it was a server issue, but now I'm beginning to think it's something at my end, I'm not sure.

if pingtime has doubled I would be curious to see a traceroute

Just pinged again and it's gone back down to 48 - yesterday it was between 80-100.

OK, well it can't be vardiff that's triggering the emails - at D1 for Rig 3 should usually be submitting between 10 and 27 shares per minute. The chance of submitting none in that time is vanishingly small.

Best of luck finding a fix - should be a fun geek out Wink

we are also having an issue with the server showing miners offline when they arent, this also triggers idle worker emails
Blaksmith started digging into that last night - he is currently out, I will see where he got up to when he returns

It could be both of us Sad

Hmmm, it doesn't seem to make much difference what I set the diff at TBH, the workers just seem to randomly stop and start of their own accord. I've tried from the default up to 3 on all 3 rigs so far - no difference. My biggest rig is only 2g/hash, the smallest is 1.3g/hash, so pretty pointless going too high I think - or am I wrong? Huh

Peace.

yeah pointless going too high - it will make it worse
thanks for trying that

No worries. Is the work the miners doing being while the workers are off being recorded on some db somewhere - or am I losing it?

Shares are being recorded, this is a display issue

Not sure if it means anything, but I switched all my rigs over to stratum (from eustratum), and since doing so I've not had any idle worker emails at all, and the full hash rate is now showing constant again. is it possible it's an eustratum issue only?

Peace.

EDIT: That's using the -1 vardiff parameter too.

Try using a manual vardiff setting. Use the vardiff the site sets you to as a guide.
