And text disapair, but error and red point always here.

Each miner connecting in needs to have its own unique n= setting to set a name for the mining rigs.
So if you had 4 miners, miner 1 would have n=miner1 in it, miner 2 would have n=miner2, so on.

If you restart, sometimes the miners connect in, and the old miner name is still in use, not disconnected quite yet
Since the name is already being used, it gives that error, and makes a new ID number-name random so it can be trackable.
You still get credit, and the next time you reboot, it should restart back to the correct n= setting for the passwords if you have them all set differently across all your mining rigs.
