@dj2381 it takes a minute or so to connect. I would recommend to point them at prohashing rather than nicehash since the payouts for me have been much better. It sounds like you have an older production model. also try using this url; stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333#xnsub or stratum+tcp://scrypt.eu.nicehash.com:3333#xnsub keep in mind... prohashing payouts are better.

Just did the upgrade to 2.0.3 while my ISP had an outage... no major changes to the configuration I have posted here... no comments yet on if there is a performance improvement. (I am running on a bridged ethernet connection, I will know more when the dedicated ISP is back online so I can run hardwired.)

Ok so the A4 miner has shown up on prohashing, but it seems to be stuck on Calculating hashrate:

Difficulty: 16,384
Target difficulty: 16,384 (dynamic)
Work restart delay: Need more shares
Current restart penalty: 1.000
Minimum network difficulty: Not set
2hr share count: 141
2hr avg hashrate: Need more shares
Since first share: 05:40
Mode: Pay-per-share
Merge mining restarts: dynamic

My earnings seemed to have increased so is it mining?

Is there something I can do to get the hash rate to show up?

Edit: It finally showed up :D

The hashrates are calculated every five minutes for all miners who have received two coin switches. In this case, it looks like you got unlucky and happened to connect just after the hashrate calculation thread had finished, so you had to wait longer than usual.

Thanks for the info, I seem to be getting a lot of rejected shares, the miner is doing 273MH on the UI, while earnings is showing it's only reaching 205MH, would I be able to update this miner to the latest version? or is this the wrong batch?

SSH into the Pi and reboot it would be my first suggestion

I have encountered an issue with 2.0.3 where after near 30 days of uptime, the main miner configuration page crashed but the miner status page is still working and the miner has been hashing for over 45 days now no problem.

I don't need to change the configuration on the miner so I'm not going to reboot it remotely unless i have a reason to.

Good point a reboot is always a good idea. A hard boot may fix the problem if you can't http or ssh into the PI. Last option should be re-image and re-config.
