scrypt not allowing connections

I rebooted a miner and now it can't connect to prohashing's scrypt port. I rebooted a second miner of mine and the same thing is happening. Is this a known issue? I dont want to reboot my other miners or they won't be able to reconnect either.

FYI, from miner:

Yes, there is a max user number in place.
You will have to wait for others to disconnect before you will see the site as ALIVE and connect in to mine.

You have to just wait and be patient, eventually you should get in.

I thought it was set at 10k? At the time my connections were failing they had less than 8k workers. Seems like they have a problem, and not just a max worker issue

Hello,
First of all I like to say that I am a big fan of this pool. One of the reasons is the possibility to solo mine which I can't find on other pools.
Having said that, now I am having problems with solo mining. every time I try to do this my machines are only calculating hashrate for a while an than connection is lost. With my L3+ miners I am trying to solo mine Bitconnectcoin or sometimes other coins. Before I had no problem with it.
So my question is, is it still possible to Solo mine at Prohashing??

If you are using the m=solo c=bitconnectcoin for a password then yes it is still possible.

The server was rebooted I believe for a patch that was announced by Steve in a forum post earlier in the evening, and there is still a worker cap in place until that is resolved and more workers can get online.

They hope over the weekend to make some improvements and increase the max workers. If all goes well there is even talk of reopening the registrations here in the next few weeks rather than late in Jan 2018, so hopefully that means the timetable has moved up some.

The next few days may have some growing pains, possible restarts, taking time to get reconnected while they deploy new parts of the upgrade and have to fix any bugs that they weren't able to test without a full load on the system. But hopefully all returns to normal and the profits continue to increase for everyone.

HAPPY HASHING!

Thanks for your reply!
