FWIW, I entered the nicehash configurations in exactly the same way and haven't had any issues.
[EDIT] just clarifying the point about the BTC address and the entry to the URL. Think I misunderstood what you meant about typing the address in.
did you type in the address as
stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333
or did you leave out the first bit? maybe that could be causing a problem
Also with the name you gave your miner did you include a . and no space in the naming? like mine, see i have the address then a . and its named S9 worker 1 (and yeah i pulled a few digits out of the address)

and the address to check your miner
http://solo.ckpool.org/users/Your Wallet Address
Hi,
I copied and pasted it straight from the site, the miner added the stratum+tcp:// prefix itself. If this wasn't there, I believe there would have been no connection to the pool and hence no shares accepted.
I didn't give the miner a name as it wasn't necessary. I only have one so didn't need to track individual stats/serviceability. I have a name for it on nicehash as I have other miners there and want that definition in the data.
Yep, that's the address I used. Still have the tab open on the laptop (as well as a miner status page for those interested) so can screenshot if you'd like. Don't have a kernel log though and won't until I can get access to the miner later this evening.
Thanks for the suggestions though!
