I'm getting no response from the stratum pool intermitantly, cgminer is then set to use http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com:8341 for which after a few minutes stratum starts responding again.

Also I think I'm not getting enough work as my fan speeds go from high to low a lot, typically this occurs when it loses connection to the pool.

This accorded with fc.dontmine.me as well but doesn't happenw hen i mine ltc with givemeltc.

Is there an issuse with ftc pools or something? I switched to this pool as I had the same issue with fc.dontmine.me.
