can't connect to pool

by lockerthief · · Post #3474

So last night everything was working fine..

This evening, not so much. using the same batch file as last nite, i can no longer connect to the pool:

[2016-06-22 22:28:48] Pool: 0 URL: stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 User: user Password: x
[2016-06-22 22:28:48] Press any key to exit, or BFGMiner will try again in 15s.
[2016-06-22 22:29:04] No servers were found that could be used to get work from
[2016-06-22 22:29:04] Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have input
[2016-06-22 22:29:04] Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or have not set up workers
[2016-06-22 22:29:04] Pool: 0 URL: stratum+tcp://prohashing.com:3333 User: user Password: x
[2016-06-22 22:29:04] Press any key to exit, or BFGMiner will try again in 15s.

No servers could be used! Exiting.

now, if i replace the url with another pool, it starts up just fine. i tried on both the proxy version and non proxy URL.

I haven't heard anything from Chris since he went to sleep, so I'll ask him. I do know that we released a fix last night that resolved the problems some were reporting with the live website data becoming available.

I will point out to Some1notu that it's possible that the site has the highest listed fees on the web. That's because many sites fail to tell customers what they are actually charging. For example, Clevermining specifically states that their fee is "usually between 1 and 20%."
