Alright, I've been playing with this thing all day. I've targeted it down this issue.

Code:
[2017-12-10 16:15:41] Network difficulty changed to 20.4k (146.3G)

Any time this happens the miner stops running. You can hear the fan wind up a little as if there's an increase in juice that was being used for the processor. Now the yellow light just flashes every few seconds. Once at this point, unless I restart everything, it won't work on any changes. I'm at a loss... please help.


Honestly looking for some help please.

Whenever network diff changes  new work gets sent to the ASIC and its restarted, sounds like your USB port/Hub is not providing enough power. When new work is sent to the ASIC is when it has the highest chance to get stalled because of power transients the hub can't keep up with.

Beta testing of my new update that resolve this issue and similar issues that cause the sticks to go dead and need restarting is going well and should have a binary release tomorrow. This should also keep sticks alive from poorly tuned/unstable voltages etc.

Pic below is a bunch of sticks running the new driver that I have purposely undervolted so they are unstable....driver has kept them alive and hashing for over a day now with no manual restarts needed!
