Hi Dave,
Its just not true that we only care about precious masternodes.
Here is the way I view the priorities right now just so you know: I want to ensure we are ready for block 24600, so we can pay our orphans.
Next, I want to maintain production support levels. That includes any critical errors with 1075. And finally, I place a very low priority level personally on any "hash speed discussions". So maybe thats the point of contention. We only have enough resources to talk about the prod support and the critical errors and not about peoples mining speed, unless its an inconsistency in the pool that affects everyone.
Of course we have time to talk about how competetive mining works.
But first:
So, Im not aware of a critical bug in 1075, and have not received a log. Can someone please give us a log so we can see what stopped the node in 1075??
There is no way to even look at a problem without a log.
Thank you for your explanations (also in your other posts about the competitive mining. Indeed that makes sense. I have copied the last lines from the debug.log, where the error occurs (wasn't really sure where to start...):

I need to restart some of my miners once/twice per day (reindex fixes them)
The miners that are failing use HTTPS.
The few miners that are running using http seems to be not affected (I haven't needed to restart them, but they are also slower machines)
@Dave, are you using HTTPS or http?
