Re: [∞ YH] solo.ckpool.org 0.5% fee solo mining USA/DE servers 148 blocks solved!
I came back from a few days away from my machines and noticed that my S3+ was on the German pool, my first fail-over. None of my other solo miners where failed over and I thought that was odd so I restarted the S3+ and it still pointed to the German pool. I logged into the miner and it is reporting ck.solo as DEAD. I know it's not dead because all my stick miners are there just fine. Nothing has changed in my S3+ setup and everything is set up correctly, just as it has been for the last months I've been solo mining. Any idea why this machine reports ck.solo as DEAD?
The IP address of solo.ckpool.org changes after a DDoS and perhaps these devices almost never look up the IP address using a cached result for ages. In which case a restart might be required, either of cgminer or the whole device.
