Here is a dump of what I see in the Claymore dual miner window (on the 3333 port):

So - it appears that everything is fine. Getting shares, ok hash rate. However - way more DCR shares that I used to be getting - so I'm assuming that is taking up most of my bandwidth for some reason now?? Could that be what is happening?

Mining takes up insignificant internet bandwidth. Your ISP might be just flakey and you experienced downtime? Also this log covers only 22 seconds of mining.
About the DCR having more shares than previously, you can experiment with different dcri settings. Higher dcri settings also make your card produce more heat. It usually increases your decred hashrate and lowers ethereum hashrate most of the time. Going up or down (most likely down) by pressing + and - buttons will change your dcri setting. Change one at a time, wait a few minutes, and your eth hashrate should go up or down. When you find a good dcri, set the -dcri switch in your config.txt.
Usage is in the readme text file in your claymore miner folder. I use -dcri 30

I think you got it right on that last part... I *thought* everything was humming along just fine as the Claymore window showed shares coming in for each GPU. However - They seemed like they were fake shares. It wasn't showing any hashrates, just new shares coming in. I restarted the miner software, so should know soon - but pretty sure it was glitched out.

If you are using Claymore, you can configure what the -r function is (check the readme.txt file).

You can create a reboot.bat file that is executed if one of the cards glitches out. The example in the readme text file is to restart your entire system if a card hasn't submitted a share for a while, or something like that.

Obviously it's not the best solution to stability issues and checking the drivers, cables, power supply, temperatures, power stability, fans, etc. still needs to happen if things continue, but it's a good temp fix.

The -r parameter doesn't always work though because it only restarts the miner software if a card fails to perform at all. if things glitch and your cards are hashing at 0.5MH/s, it technically isn't stopped but your hash rate is down a long way so when you notice a drop on your pool progress, take a look at the rig (Personally I use TeamViewer on windows to remotely connect)

So - can they glitch and still show 26 MH/s (each card)? Because that is what was happening. I thought the restarting of the miner worked, but overnight same story Sad

As a result, in the last 13 hours with an average of 155MH/s recorded at etherpool, I got 0.0001277 ETH (freakin' OUCH!).

Basically the Average Effective Hashrate took a complete nose-dive. Sad

We will see what happens this hour in regards to Etherpool, but each time from a miner-perspective - all SEEMS fine.

Overheating - The cards are pretty solid at a max of 60C. Hot, but not overheating. They are very well ventilated, so this should not be a problem.

Internet - is rock-solid. Nothing happening there. It is attached directly to my HP switch. I could track connectivity, but I've had this network architecture for a long time with no issues. And I would have noticed since I sit at another computer attached to the same switch.

Your internet went down and lost pool connection a couple times I think. It reduces your effective hashrate since it is zero when it is down. You miner might have crashed too or something.

clearly the mining rig had some issues either physically or with the software. you can tell by the reported rate drop to almost 0. it then bounce back up but is unstable which could indicate it still has some issues. also high stale shares and low share submittion is also a problem maybe caused by overheating(claymore go into low intensity mode) or overclocking which it finds a lot of incorrect shares(useless shares).

There was a 'difficulty bomb' put in place by the Etherum developers for a number of reasons to do with the recent Byzantine / Metropolis changes. So that has made things a lot harder for miners to earn ETH.
*EDIT*: Link to a thread about the last difficulty bomb. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/crazy-jump-in-ethereum-difficulty-in-the-past-12-hours-08252017-another-dbomb-2119950

Also, the 'number of shares' you submit is related to the difficulty. A lot of pools set a fixed difficulty which they can change at any time. Submitting 10 shares at level 1 difficulty is the same as submitting 1 share at level 10.

If neither of those things have caused the problem, then I am not sure. I don't personally mine Eth, but that does look like quite a drop off to me.

Are all your cards mining on your rig? Have you physically checked them? Sometimes the mining software is running but some cards have glitched out and either mine at 0 H/s or much lower speeds.

Hope some of that helps.

Since I'm new to all this, hopefully someone can explain what this means?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/77z715gsah5ga8o/ETH-HR.png?dl=0

It looks to me like I'm getting less shares and it started happening this morning (about 7 hours ago). However, when I calculate my ETH/Hour - I am not seeing a reflection of that. So - what does that chart mean??

Edit: And.. why doesn't my image show
