I'm getting this error from the pool (when using the new "-pow7 1" in v4.0):

- What's the problem?

- It's all ok if I don't use the -pow7.
(The pool says "Switch to new PoW now! - Before April 6:th")
EDIT: I'm using minexmr.com on port 7777.


I also have. =(  Maybe problem in pool proxy.


I just found out why this is:
- CPU Miner v4.0 does apparently not auto sense when to switch to the new PoW7.
You have to run it without the "-pow7 1" flag until it's time. Then restart it with the "-pow7 1" flag.

** The switch to PoW-7 will occur at block-height: 1,546,000 **
Block 1,546,000 is due to occur sometime during 6 april 2018.

You can check the current block-height at https://chainradar.com/xmr/blocks or other block explorers.




Confirmed this workaround, well works, mining away happily, now to reset because of stupid slow mode memory issue with the miner. like 32gb RAM and 128GB VM not enough for it.
Oh no, after restart its now not connecting to pool. Sad
