what coin are you mining?
different minor coinsalot of coins have had serious hashrate dropped on them the last 2 weeks so difficulty shoots up.
if you say "the last 2 weeks" then this is the solution of the problem, I think... Thanks!

what coin are you mining?
alot of coins have had serious hashrate dropped on them the last 2 weeks so difficulty shoots up. which means its increadible hard for cpu miners to even get shares
cpu coins are
protoshares
primecoin
anything else will have big problems

Hello
I have some strange problem with cpuminer (minerd).
Until previous weekend it runned on several computers (1. Ubuntu 10, 2. Win XP, 3. Win 7) and I received accepts one after another. No difference which computer and which system, one of them is faster, one is slower, but the situation was stable: statistically I received about 10-20 "yays", 1-2 "booos", and 1-2 lines with no response (I mean "detected new block" and nothing more).
I changed NOTHING and now it looks like this:
[2013-12-16 19:07:09] accepted: 1/1 (100.00%), 1.21 khash/s (yay!!!)

then for example another 5 or 10 minutes with communicate "detected new block", till the next accept. Notice: I don't get "booos". And I have minerd version 2.3.2 but it makes no difference if I run this or other version, the result is the same...
I've tried without Stratum, and with Stratum again,
changed -t parameter from 1 to 12 (and finally left it auto)
changed -s parameter from 4 to 40 (and finally left it auto)
and so on. No use. What to do to make it work as before?
