Most of the time it doesn't even connect at all so there's no share numbers to look at. The share level isn't in real time but it's definitely not supposed to drop to zero over and over and over like that. It looks consistent with what I was able to observe where it occasionally would connect briefly and sporadically.
I don't think the cgminer version is the issue. I've tried putting different pool info into the Blake version and, while it can't mine on the scrypt pool, it does connect normally. When I try your pools in the scrypt version of cgminer I also have on the same PC, it does the same thing where it won't connect. And of course the scrypt version connects and works fine with a scrypt pool.
So I'm stumped. Also don't know how I'm going to get the orphaned currency from your pool since there's no manual payout option visible and I have less than the minimum payout amount of Blakecoin and Dirac scattered accross all three servers.
for <5GH/s the dashboard can repeatedly drop to 0 if it does not get enough shares in time period, the pool stats should show your shares in round if they are valid
Manual payouts off is far better than the pool getting duped and the wallets going into negative with the recent DDoS attacks it is just not possible to turn them on
I guess that's most of a Dirac I'll have to consider lost, then.
no idea why you have issues with connecting to the pool server I have multiple rigs and they all stay on first pool in list unless that is down or reset (server code changes or crash) then it mines 2nd in list and switches back once the 1st is back online, currently have miners in all the merged pools and no issues with connection
Yes, this is exactly the behavior I've always seen in every other situation, including with this same PC yesterday when testing other pools.
edit:
had a look back at your conf and noticed a few things you could try if you have not done so already remove
"api-allow" : "w:127.0.0.1",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-mcast-port" : "4028",
"api-port" : "4028",
"thread_concurrency" : "8192",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
Yeah, I removed the last two lines above first because I saw elsewhere in the thread that they're not needed. I also tried removing the api- lines too, nothing changes it. It definitely has nothing to do with the conf file because I tried using the scrypt version of cgminer with a copy of one of my known-good conf files with only the server URLs changed to yours and no other changes and it does the exact same thing. And the Blake version of cgminer works normally/as expected when substituting a known-good scrypt pool with your pool info.
So the only issue seems to be specifically with your pools.
Again, is it possible my worker or account could be banned in some way by your pools, or the IP address blocked by a server firewall? I can DM you the info so you can check if that's a possibility. Thanks.
