Yeah. This launch smells of fraud. Official pool site starts off with port :3333 and two miners connect, but the rest of us can not.  After trying for 20 mintutes I tried finding another pool from their offical list. I found only one other pool from the list with activity, they had a bunch of miners... http://dope.internetarena.it/. I was able to connect and hash but was not getting anyting. After about 10 or 15 minutes the dashboard shows my has drop to from 1.4 to zero. I looked at the cgminer and said my work was banned.

WTF.


EDIT: Unable to connect after trying for an hour. Last ditch effort, I switched back to port :3333 on the offical pool and I am now connected. So I missed the first hour of mining.
