Con,

Already found a bug, if the pool "goes away" it will never resume mining. Getting this:

Code:

[2014-02-07 16:44:34] Failed to getaddrinfo for stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334
[2014-02-07 16:44:34] Testing pool http://stratum.mining.eligius.st:3334

The machine can access the pool, and DNS is fine, but cgminer gets stuck. Any way you can put something in to exit if pool isn't active (like it used to work)?

This is precisely why we don't recommend anyone run new code until it's vetted.

Actually none of the pool management code has been touched in ages so if you think there's a bug there, it's been there since long before any hashfast sanctioned release. Are you saying it never tried to reconnect?

I think he may be right. This happened to me and I just thought it was a fluke. Basically I was mining at Pool 1 and pool1 went down for like 5mins. During the 5mins my miner switched to pool2. pool 1 came back and it didnt switch back. Is their a time limit before it switches back/checks? For example 1 time per min or something
