There were some issues with some miners "couldn't get work from our stratum"/"wouldn't recognize p=price parameter". We've identified and hopefully resolved these issues a couple of hours ago. Users that were having these issues are advised to restart sgminer/bfgminer.
If you still observe these issues please send me PM.
Please note: when your miner will switch from secondary/backup pool to our stratum and vice-versa, you'll notice something like 10 second work-swap. This is normal and it works pretty much the same as switching to any other pool. Example:
Code:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
miner is working at your backup pool (there were no (price matching) orders at NiceHash):

even 4% is good in my opinion if the profits are good and the service is good
