Try to run it with some logging options and then paste content of file here.

Ok, it was a bit difficult getting log file as the default antminer S1 settings hides cgminers display. So had to kill process and run my own cgminer outputting to log file.

Ran it for 5 mins.

This is using the binaries from here:

Nicehash website says ~60% reject rate.

The only thing that comes to my mind is that this miner is modifying ntime. We don't allow modified ntimes, because we have no methods to evaluate whether modified ntime would be accepted by remote pool or not. There should be a way to force miner not to modify ntime; in fact, there is plenty of extranonce2 size so the ntime doesn't have to be modified. Guess that is the change compared to older miner.

ntime is modifed. As is valid on all good pools.

This has been sorted out. One thing is still unclear to me - could not find any documentation regarding that. Simple example: pool sends work at time t, miner sends back share at time t+2, but with ntime t+1. Is this valid share? By logic I would say yes.

Bummer. There are still some strange issues going on with my AntMiner S1s working against the pool with "price" thresholds.

I just came home and found my two test AntMiner S1s hung ... they *said* the NiceHash pool was alive ... but they were NOT mining it ... and they were NOT mining my backup pools.

Both were mining earlier in the day, and then when the 0.06 contracts expired, they fell back to the backup pools. That is where they were when I left the house. I come home and realized they were in some strange state ... not mining NiceHash nor the backup pools.

I had to restart the miners, and then they immediately jumped back to the backup pools as there are no 0.06 contracts.

Something is broken ...

This is known idlebug in cgminer that has been there since the start.
