Re: [ANN][POOL] Profit switching pool

If you're using cgminer, start it with 2>cgminer.log to enable logging to a file. I did this and found the following line in the log after two of my rigs were highjacked:

[2014-03-23 11:34:15] Reconnect requested from pool 2 to 190.97.165.179:3333

If you've compiled your own cgminer source, you can disable the reconnect command. Open util.c and look for this around line 1668:

Code:

static bool parse_reconnect(struct pool *pool, json_t *val)
{
char *url, *port, address[256];

Right below the opening curly bracket enter:

Code:

static bool parse_reconnect(struct pool *pool, json_t *val)
{
return false;
char *url, *port, address[256];

Recompile cgminer and re-run it. It should now ignore any client.reconnect messages from stratum.

Note: I'm still testing this out. This is fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants work right now, so I'm not sure of the possible implications on how this might affect legit client.reconnect messages, although PW says wafflepool doesn't use this feature.
