Okay, after some further testing some weird stuff occurs.

One rig (3-560/1-580) hashes away just fine for nearly 1,000 submitted shares after 3.5 hours at just 1% rejection rate and around that time suddenly the rejection rate sky rockets with lots of "low difficulty shares" rejected and also "stale shares ... ignore it" that take the rejection rate above 10%.  I basically just close and restart the miner and it likely will be fine again for the initial few hours.

On my other rig (1-560/5-580) it is working a bit better at also roughly 1% rejection rate, but then encountered inability to find mining pools and some disconnects/reconnects including a 3 minute span that resulted in over 30 rejected shares consecutively that caused the miner to restart.

Cannot figure out how to paste a picture so here is some text on the errors:

rejected(2449/22) diff 50.53M "Duplicate share"

This one is weird. Seems I need more testing with official Purk pool, and probably do something with gpu mixed rigs. Can you please try new version?

I ran the 0.9.17 version overnight and after 10 hours and nearly 5,000 shares accepted, the rig (that previously had the 10%+ rejected shares rate) only had 1.5% rejected shares.  So seems a lot better.  Will continue running it for few days to reassess.  Now I will also run it on the 5-580/1-560 rig and monitor that.  Thanks for all of the updates and keep up the hard work … it is getting there!
