Well I tried making a firewall exception and running as administrator but nothing showed up on the pool after I had submitted several shares. I did as you suggested and checked my Monero stats, and yeah it looks like I am indeed generated Monero shares. I took a close look at the output of the mining exe and I noticed that each share that was accepted was XMR. I kept an eye on it for awhile and saw that most of the work I was getting was XMR. Eventually I got a job from rx.biblepay.org-charity (as opposed to rx.biblepay.org), and that one turned into a valid share for XMR-Charity but it still did not show up in the pool stats.
Also something I noticed, when generated for biblepay.org-charity, it stops generating for XMR. Is this normal? Does it alternate between BBP and XMR?
Not sure whats the problem with no bbp shares, you are not alone.
As for the when its charity mining it stops like you say mining to you and instead to the monero charity adress. Its normal and its only xmr it does not alternate between xmr/bbp
i think Rob be sweating bullets fixing blockchain

Please do not post things that are not true here.
As you can see from the bottom of the OP post, violating those rules get your messages deleted and then you get banned after that.
Just to clarify, Borg is the only user so far that I know of that is not generating BBP shares.
** High Diff block transition **So at block 184675, we have a high difficulty situation (which was to be expected) - and that is not an easy match for RandomX to solve.
Although the diff is 5000, after the block is late (that is 30 mins after 606 am CST), the diff drops to about ~500 (roughly), but obviously that is still going to be a doozie to solve.
Hence the reason it is taking so long for this block.
The other issu(es) going on: There was a technical issue in the pool (the pool at rx.biblepay.org) and it has now been corrected and I see the miners are now mining on it on 184676 (good).
One final thing, if you have any extra biblepay nodes running (not VMs however), could you please 'setgenerate true 1' just to get the solo miners on temporarily. Then when we get back to normal we can shut them off.
Thanks.

Rob, maybe wireshark capture will help here ?
If it comes to that, but we have some other levels we can go to first, like verbose logging on the client, then capturing the traffic on the server for the address and adding some logging, etc. I will come back and check some other things with him next.
