can't connect to pool

Post by lockerthief » Wed Jun 22, 2016 10:31 pm

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 also cannot connect to pool. And the main page is acting up again it is not showing the list of coins I mine nor any of my miners. Has been like this most the day. I am disconnecting for now.

This pool has always under-performed and had constant problems. But as a bonus you get to pay the highest pool fees on the net ;)

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%."
