Hey, i found that Minergate is the most stable and profitable cryptonote pool.
But some of us have a problem with NOT stratum mining here on cpuminer multi.
Minergate cpuminer-multi tips

If you have cpuminer-multi, it is buggy with stratum - problem is that if e.g. you have 4 cores and try 4 threads with it you will have 99% of CPU idle, because it is not working in correct way. Also native cpuminer is not working with minergate, but guys made fork with improvements to make it work with minergate -
https://github.com/ekimmo/cpuminer-multi - WOLFs miner with minergate support
https://github.com/ekimmo/cpuminer-multi-LucasJones - LucasJones miner with minergate support.
BUT there is still first problem with 99% of CPU idle, BUT, there is a nice workaround:
try to connect miner via "screen" like that:
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
That example will launch 12 minerd instances each with 1 thread. And with minergate it will gives you 10% of cpu idle on 4 core.
Try to play with number of screens, but general rule is to use CPU_CORESx3 or CPU_CORESx4 to mine on cpuminer with NOT stratum protocol.
It works for me, hope it helps someone else.
