We needs some blocks n shit.
Welp, I won't be helping to find them.

There's some weird network sh!@t going down such that when I start my miners, they can communicate with the pool right up until the miner submits the first result. At that point the pool, every pool I've tried so far, kano.is, eligius, slushpool, and solo.ckpool.org, stops responding until the miner resets the connection to the pool. At that point the pool starts responding again.

Sometimes the stars and bits align on an even word boundary in the network and the pool magically begins to accept shares. At that point all is well until the miner is stopped/restarted, at which time the cycle starts all over again.
My Compac stick miner has been trying for the last two hours to mine at solo.ckpool.org with no luck.
I've sent @kano a more detailed PM with a link to a wireshark packet capture so perhaps he can see what's happening on the pool.
Cheers,
