Quick question:

Is there a need to add "-proto 3" for ETC configuration on Ethermine? The server is: etc.ethermine.org

I noticed in the example for ETH, "-proto 3" is added to the command line.

Thanks for the help Cool

I imagine it's needed, but I don't know for sure.  Here's Dr. Phoenix's instructions for using the switch:

-proto Selects the kind of stratum protocol for the ethash pool:
     1: miner-proxy stratum spec (e.g. coinotron)
     2: eth-proxy (e.g. dwarfpool, nanopool) - this is the default, works for most pools
     3: qtminer (e.g. ethpool)
     4: EthereumStratum/1.0.0 (e.g. nicehash)

I use ethermine, and I have it in my config file.  I like to restart my rig once week, but it runs very stable and did so for over 250 hours once.

Code:
-pool ssl://us2.ethermine.org:5555
-pool2 ssl://us1.ethermine.org:5555
-wal
-worker
-coin eth
-proto 3
-cdm 2
