So I have fully committed and switched to dbix mining from ethereum.
I am using claymore v9.6. When I swiched I get "miner thread hang" error.
I've been mining ethereum for days without a problem. Suddenly I'm getting this error in claymore when mining dbix. And it's a frequent error.
Anybody experienced the same? How did you fix it?
did you use -allcoins and -allpools flag on claymore? Try adding `-allcoins 1 -allpools 1` to your start.bat
I did use -allcoins 1 but did not use -allpools 1. Any reason why it would hang without the allpools? I don't understand.
Edit: This is the command I have in my config file now. I commented out -r 1 since I dont want to reboot everytime the miner thread hangs because its too frequent. Any comment on the below?

-epool dbix.pool.sexy:7007

-dbg 1
-allpools 1
Follow up question. Whats the main difference between proportional rewards and PPLNS?
How can I decide which is best for me. I'm just a small miner with 130mhs.
From Claymores Readme: "-allpools Specify "-allpools 1" if miner does not want to mine on specified pool (because it cannot mine devfee on that pool), but you agree to use some default pools for devfee mining. "
So the devfee can't be mined on a eth fork so you're allowing claymore to connect to another pool for the devfee.
As far as PPLNS and PROP, from my understanding they are very similar miner takes the risk but PPLNS has more of a buffer from when you start and stop receiving you rewards
