This is good to hear. We've made changes to the lowest level socket connections which seems to cut out a lot of connection problems. Mainly problems were coming from miners disconnecting from the stratum server when we were in the middle of handing out jobs for one of the coins that were being mined. We now have 5s socket timeouts.
I hoped it would help with all the problems but there there is still problems when I enabled AUX coins so I've dropped them all on sha again and just left DOGE on scrypt. the other algos don't seem to have problems with them.
I can see how the server would get kinda pissed and lock up/reset from being overloaded with open sockets....
I have stability, so I am in for the long haul with that S7. I refuse to let people lowball me on nicehash since they can't change the profitability flag to be something other than what it is which is broken on >S3 models.
It was amazing watching people immideately pay almost half for the same sized order; then in the next day watch diff on the altcoins all rise and drop their value per hashrate because they arent pointing it at BTC as much as they were...... The ripple of the halving's second signs...
I have a good feeling that there will be a stable python port of the stratum servers available eventually which I'll put putting in BTC to help push the dev along to get it done. It's a tricky project so I hope it makes it to finish.
