Hello,

I wanted to say there is still an issue with NiceHash and cgminer.  I'm still trying to narrow down the specifics, but here is what I am seeing from my side:

1. I have two identical AntMiner S1, both running the updated cgminer (Kanoi builds) v4.3.2a
  - https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer-binaries/tree/master/AntS1

2. I have both configured with pools identically - the primary pool is set to:
 - stratum.nicehash.com:3334
 - {my address}
 - p=0.065;d=128

3. I have secondary and tertiary pools defined - Eligius and GHash.io

4. Today, when the contract ran that was 0.08 they both switched to NiceHash properly.

5. When the contract completed, and then next was 0.06, both AntMiners went to the second pool - Eligius - as they should have.

6. About an hour ago, you had a contract for 0.07 show up ... and I noticed it showed as Alive and Dead ... on and off.  Both AntMiners mined, and fell back, several times ... but then one fell back to Eligius and the second hung mining nothing.

7. You home page showed the 0.07 contract dead ... that AntMiner still showed the pool alive.  It was mining nothing for 4-5 minutes ... and then I restarted it.  Once I did that the pool showed dead ... like your home page did.

I've checked the code in Github, and the Kanoi builds for the AntMiner have the same fix as ckolivas for the idle bug:

Would you expect that when you have a bad contract/pool that I would see the miner hang for that long?

===================================================================================

I'm adding this about an hour later ... same thing just happened to my OTHER AntMiner ... I noticed it was stopped mining on both pools!!  NiceHash as the first priority was showing as ALIVE in cgminer ... even with my threshold of 0.065 ... with no contracts visible.

Why?

I had to restart the miner ... and NiceHash went to "DEAD" ... now it's working again.
