Re: [ANN] LEASERIG.NET - renting & hiring of mining rigs - ONLINE AGAIN!
I'm on a coin that is currently finding 2 or 3 blocks per minute, but the leased miner is only connecting once per 60 seconds to get work. This means it will be routinely spending time working on blocks that were already found by someone else, and it will miss having a go at more than half of the blocks. 
One workaround I've found is to add a stratum pool as a lower priority backup. It stays connected and provides information about new blocks even though you're sending it no shares. When the stratum connection for the pool signals a new block, the miner immediately does a getwork request to the main client. So instead of blindly asking every 60 seconds "hey, has anything changed? Am I still working on the right block?" it can now say "I just heard there's a new block, send me the info"
