K, thanks for the important info. I will wait, and just mine normally with "pooler's cgminer",
I suppose you mean "cpuminer".
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?
Recent versions of cgminer already support Stratum natively. Using a proxy would still reduce bandwidth usage and server load, but if you don't have that many miners it's easier to just connect directly to pools, especially since this allows you to easily set backup pools.
