do you have a beta user thread going for bug reports? I have found a few glitches and some work arounds. For instance, splitting hash rate between minsty pools on SHA seems to work fine for my rigs, but adding an external pool seems to throw it into 100% rejects. Same external pool will work fine if you point 100% to it. Also many times when do that, it will hang and not work getting all rejects. I have found that restart cgminer on the rig fixes it, and the problem looks like 10.1K diff and all discarded on the rig side. After restart the diff will go to more normal size like 1.1k on my S5's and hashing will resume.. I also catch it on rentals who rent my rig. They try either a non working pool or to split it in a way that puts it in this state. If i do not catch it they can be stuck for hours with zero hashing, restarting cgminer for them fixes.

Solo mining pools also have very hard time if put into a split hash rate, but seem to work ok at 100%. Terraminer rigs seem to work only on mintsy pools, and will not hash on external pool if split or not.

And also I would really like to know if and when rental payments will be released, or what exactly is happening with that?

Hey roger! I'm the dev for the backend of Mintsy here, loved your input on the diff and issues you're having. We're away of the dropoffs and have been getting them a lot on our side of things with the contracts. Have been trying to figure out why its been happening and its been hard because I dont have access to the contract rigs. Going to get Paul to make the vardiff changes on the pool and would love to hear continued feedback from you since you provide awesome detail on these things.

Rental payments will go going out real quick here, the guy writing that stuff is writing up an escrow feature and testing it right now. Users only pay for what they actually get.

Thanks for the reply Matt. I think this issue has something to do with the way stratum works. I might be way off here, but I might see this problem happen in a different way and always has on every pool. If a pool lets you set a min diff on the pool side and you try something very large like 4k on a slow rig and then decide you want to lower it, or even just let it auto determine the diff, so you change it back, on the pool side, it will always stay stuck on the higher diff even 24hrs later if I check the rig and look at what its getting. It is like it can not go backwards for some reason, and you have to reconnect to the pool to fix it. Restart cgminer fixes or even just pulling internet for a few seconds.

You might want to try just dropping the connection and reconnecting, as starting over seems to fix it, if it is indeed a problem with diff being stuck way to high.
