Miner duplicate error

by Banished_Privateer · · Post #28479

So when miner loses connection (ISP issue) and then automatically reconnects after short time, it spits out error, shows 2 workers and lists it as "duplicate". Now, I am not sure if it has impact on earnings? Most likely not but I find it a bit annoying to have duplicated workers although it's the same machine connecting after lost connection. Can this be somewhat fixed?

Have these issues been resolved now?

We discovered that there must be some software out there that was calling undocumented API functions and overloading the live data server. We banned those IP addresses, and that seems to have resolved some of the weird connectivity issues some customers were reporting.
