I have also been getting "no valid shares" for a few hours on couple of my L3s. Prohashing pool is showing dead and alive. However, two others are working fine. They all have d=131072.

Hopefully, that will make a difference.
Same problem here on all my L3+. I have been mining with no problem for the past 2 - 3 days, but since yesterday I'm getting "no valid shares".

I hope increasing the rejected share ban threshold can fix this.
We just increased the threshold. Have you had more success now?
I have been mining for a couple of hours with no problem so far. I'll let you guys know if any eventuality

That's great to hear. Please submit a support ticket if this problem returns.

I noticed the same issue today for the first time as well with my single L3+. Yesterday was my first day and I didn't see this problem. I'm new here, not sure on protocol. Should I submit a ticket?
Edit: I've switched to litecoinpool until I learn more about internal config settings on my ant miner (other than the pw field settings which are nicely documented here). I will be back after I have more info leading to resolution here.

Hello,

I have not noticed big improvement. Can you confirm when it's showing "no valid shares" or "calculating hashrate", are my miners hashing and making money or are they just sitting there?

Thanks.

I switched back to pro hashing today and haven't noticed the issue yet.

I can confirm that the issue is still present. I have 2 of my 5 L3+'s showing no valid shares.
Is there any update?
