ah. icic i thought the 17XXX ports are just what is particularly the most profitable at that moment and that you'd have to reconnect if the coin that its mining changes. Thats what i thought the 12XXX port was for. THat it would kick you out and log you back in under the new coin. But thanks for the clarification!
Does anyone know why i get a connection denied issue sometimes when i connect to 12XXX. I never have the issue on the 17xxx, its just annoying having to restart the miner everytime the most profitable coin changes.
Would it be ok for me to leave the awesome miner running and let it continue to reconnect until it does? If i stop the miner for aroudn 15 minutes and let the connection drop off it allows me to connect. If i use port 17XXX it will let me connect as well... so confused haha.
I would use the 17xxx ports only in Awesome miner since the miner is doing what the 12xxx ports do for the pools hub switches. Using the 12xxx is redundant. Also if the 17xxx ports are not a problem then why mess with the 12xxx ports.
