I have found a fix for most users that are experiencing issues with the miners just stopping!
if you use the conf file and you add more than 1 pool the miners will all stop when network difficulty information is gathered from the other pools.
Fix: set 1 pool in your conf and remove the pool from the cmd/bat file, if you leave the same pool in the cmd/bat file it still treats it like having 2 pools.
my bat file:
bfgminer.exe --scrypt -S MLD:all
pause
exit
hope that helps!
I'm still newer to this...what exactly did you put in your .conf file? Can you post or PM me an example? TIA
