CGMINER shows some numbers under [D] Display Options [Quit]
you will see A: [numbers] R: [numbers] HW: [numbers]
R: lower the better HW: 0 is best
I'm on the US server and always have been. I'm failing over to another pool. Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean if your HW is high?
Thats only happened to me if my HW is high. Did you check that? Also, which middlecoin are you hitting? Maybe the one you are hitting is getting a bad ping or being worked on. Have you set up a failover?
Having a strange issue -- wondering if this happening to anyone else: I have a 2.5 mH/s rig and for some reason middlecoin is reporting 0.5 Mh/s. I've been on the pool for weeks and today its showing less than a quarter of my hashrate.
