Got my miner today. Had to reseat the ribbon cable going to the ethernet adapter. All loaded well once I did that.
Question. Where are people mining? I recall seeing references to using BTCGuild due to some issue with the difficulty. I am trying to mine at Eligius and I can't seems to get the pool to recognize the hashrate. The miner is reporting 1000+ GHs but it is not reflected in the Eliguis pool stats. Any thoughts?
In the interim I am going to try BTCGuild.

I was having issue with eligius too. Never have issue with any other miners. The Dragon seem very finicky. Eligius seem to have been having some issues the past few days. I'm running the Dragon on eligius, but I'm going to have to keep a eye on it to make sure the hash rate starts showing properly on the pool.
Eligius may take couple of hours to show full hashrate. Look at 12hours average and 3hours average to estimate your miner speed. I am mining on Eligius since 2013 and it's fine. Eligius is 0% fee and 105% PPS of Namecoin.
See my post below from the eligius thread.
I seen some mention of it on this page, have the stats been choking lately? I just added a new miner a few hours ago and pool side G/H are like 1% what cgminer is reporting. My other miners that have been running are showing proper for the most part, although they are down a few hundred G/H.
More side effects of the continual DDOS attacks. Actual earnings are unaffected.

Doesn't seem that way for me. I had a few hour power outage over night. All miners '22 minute' and below averages were 0. Everything is back up and the new miner is still showing Only %1 pool side hash rate of what cgminer is reporting, while the rest of the miners are showing the correct hash rate. Any ideas?
Maybe my difficulty is set wrong? Thought the pool controlled that?
Nice to see I'm not the only one with the issue. Does using a different pool fix it? Can you see if LKETC has any ideas?
It seems the difficulty was set to '1000' and a bug/feature in the miners software causes this. Thanks to 'ckolivas' for pointing this out. I switched the diff. to 256 and it seems to be working good now. It did take about 10 min for the proper hash rate to show up in eligius 128/256 stats.(may have been due to diff. taking a few minutes to stabilizing or just the laggy eligius stats(due to DDoS).)
Kano, would like to know if you have any input on this issue of pool hash rate being only %1 of cgminer hash rate. Providing links below to 'posts' as the text is on the larger side.

This is their custom fork of cgminer + driver. They do not have proper diff checking in their code. That's the sort of thing you get with a poorly done custom driver by a manufacturer. Tell them to fix their driver. In the interim try to use a pool that allows you to use a fixed diff that matches whatever the device is set to.https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6159291

The diff. was set to '1000', I lowered it to '256' and it seems to be working petty good. I may lower it to '128', to see if it gives a more stable result.
pcfli if you can, pass this info along to LKETC so they can fix it:
