I got tripped up by this in the past - luckily realized the problem way before getting to the point of suspicion.  But still need to remember every release or new rig setup to comment out epools, since I always use config exclusively.

Might be worth rethinking this design...  one possible solution would be two different 'pool' flags - maybe '--pool' behavior ignores epools, while '--addpool' follows the current behavior?
   We will rename the sample epools.txt file to something else to avoid future problems like this.


PhoenixMiner, extremely need -tt function in Linux. Please HEPL.
   We are working on this, hopefully it will make it in the next release.


Hi! Do I need to restart miner when I send new config.txt through Remote Manager or it applies automatically the moment i sent it?
   If you have specified the command-line option -cdmrs some of the options are applied without restart. The full list is in the description of the -cdmrs option in the first post of this forum thread:

  -cdmrs Reload the settings if config.txt is edited/uploaded remotely. Note that most options require restart in order to change.
      Currently the follwing options can be changed without restarting: -mi, -gt, -sci, -clf, -nvf, and all hardware control parameters
      (-tt, -fanmin, -fanmax, -powlim, -tmax, -cclock, -cvddc, -mclock, -mvddc).


@PhoenixMiner

can you explain how you create nonce ? Is it randomized, and how u randomize ?

Thanks
   It is randomized and different (independent) for each GPU. The exact random algorithm doesn't matter as long as it has good distribution.


Ok so I might have found the issue. Check this, I'm using a single SATA from the PSU to power up a riser; it turns out the pins of the connector are rusted, and that's why it was losing power intermittently. So I just connected the GPU in question to my server PSU, and voila.
   It would be nice to have clear error messages from the GPUs when the 12V power is missing or unstable but unfortunately the GPU doesn't report such events.
