And what about "stratum requested work restart" on numerous pools - and since I see the wotk done, the credentials are fine, and everything works perfectly for some time then suddenly at least a ton of "stratum requested work restart" with no reason at all
If by "a ton" you mean a few times per minute then it's perfectly normal, see the
FAQ.
How about a restart every few seconds? Could that normal as well? Just wondering if I should start troubleshooting my rig. It might be just a heavy workflow day, I'll keep an eye on it the next few days. This morning I'm seeing restart requests every few seconds, and my g-blades have dropped from an average of 2.8+gh/s to around 2gh/s per blade this morning!
It's fine to receive 2-3 of those messages within a few seconds. You should start worrying if you receive more than, say, 10 in one minute.
