when using stratum with this pool software
https://github.com/sammy007/open-ethereum-pool I get on the pool server: Malformed stratum request from xx.xx.xx.xx: invalid character 'P' looking for beginning of value
on the client I get:
[16:11:28] thepool.domain.com slow/down or URL or credentials invalid
All I'm altering is the url in the Ethereum.bat file to the stratum address of the pool. nothing else changes.
using
sgminer 5.5.5-gm on windows,
If I leave the previous default url in there it comes with it works fine. not sure what end is wrong. pool or client, I can use lots of other miners just not this one for some strange reason.
