i have managed to get this up and running at last. now my issue is that some miners can connect and others cant. there is no hard fast rule as to why. i have used multiple accounts registered and re registered as i am using mpos layer. as i say its wholly random as to why
stratum connects ip
stratum authorises the miner.
stratum then complains its disconnected the miner
loops
whilst others can connect it even broadcasts the job to the miner but nothing happens. very frustrating as its not a coin issue or even a set up issue as far as i can tell
