Heya pooler, long time. Any chance updating this for stratum? Thanks, bud.

I've been thinking about it lately, but right now I am busy with more urgent projects.
I have just finished adding Stratum support to my pool, and now I am working on the new release of the Litecoin client.

By the way, if you have more than one miner it is still better to use a proxy for Stratum mining, because it minimizes bandwidth usage and reduces the load on pool servers.

Just remember that for Litecoin mining you have to use this fork of Slush's original proxy:
https://github.com/CryptoManiac/stratum-mining-proxy
Binary for Windows here (thanks to Balthazar).
You run the proxy with
Code:
miner_proxy -pa scrypt -o POOLURL -p POOLPORT
and then connect your miners to local port 8332 with your usual worker credentials.

K, thanks for the important info. I will wait, and just mine normally with "pooler's cgminer", I'm on a VPN for my GPU miners using cgminer-2.11.3-win32, would using a proxy still apply to cgminer-2.11.3-win32?
