Destabilizing hashrates

Post by kires » Sun Apr 05, 2015 9:55 am

Hey, did something change yesterday? Like, did the algo start doing a lot more switching around all of a sudden? I ask because my hashrate suddenly destabilized and my miners started cutting over to their secondary pools every few minutes, which at first made me wonder if there was some dossing going on. I let it run, thinking it would resolve itself, but by midnight it was averaging something like 1/4 speed here, and they were cutting over to the backups quite a lot so I just pointed them there, partly to verify that the fault wasn't at my end. They're chugging along nicely now, but I'd really rather have them pointed here. Oh, also, happy easter!

I investigated, and that's just the pool switching coins too frequently for your miners to be able to submit any shares. I'm not going to make any changes now because the work restart update will fix the issue later this week.
