Been mining for awhile and i started to notice a fall-off in payment randomly, instead of 0.013 payouts it went to 0.004 or lower, i went to check it out and noticed some of my miners are displaying "Unexpected error" rather than getting work, now all of my rigs (8 rigs) are showing this message, deepbit down or? not understanding why the sudden change when the site shows normal Ghash.
I received some user reports (~4 at this moment) about similar error message from their miner, working on DeepBit and at least one other pool.
Since I don't see any considerable loss of total pool's hashrate, I can guess than it may be caused by some connectivity problem or software problem. Surprisingly, it started at the same time.
1. Check your connectivity by pinging pit.deepbit.net
2. Check if you have any antivirus software running, and WHEN it was updated for the last time. Did this time match ?
3. Try mining with some other miner - did the problem still persists or not ?
1. ping goes through with 100ms results no packet loss
2. Antivirus is on 1 of the 8 machines, but updated before any issues happend
3. This will take me some time, iv'e only ever used GUIMiner
At first i thought it was my router blocking the connection, but this doesn't seem to be the case, it's blocking the TCD connection immediately.
Solo mining seems to work fine from the GUIMiner.
