Well, after running great for about one day, it came up with errors again today.
Don't know what's up, but even if I restart bminer, it doesn't want to work.
Here is a logfile after just starting:

DSTM and EWFB work without problems.
Any ideas (running version 5.2.0)

Run for two days and still cannot reproduce the error.

Have you tried different mining pool?
Not yet, no.
This pool gives me the best payout at the moment. I've been running Ewfb miner for days on it without problems.
Since it stopped mining with Bminer I switched to dstm and its been running great with about the same reported hash rates.

Would love to run Bminer, if it was faster or if it had lower fee than the others. But stability problems is a much bigger concern than slightly higher hash rates.
