Sorry, man, i used your pool for a long time, but its too unstable, it is down every 24 hours for a couple of hours, FINALLY, i found http://minergate.com to mine - actually best cryptonote pool ever, it is super stable and most profitable! They had a problem with withdraws, but i received all my funds, i do not want to be unpolite and promote other pool in this thread, sorry, but Minergate kicks all other pools asses.
Mine stats
48 hours mining on extremepool gives me about 0.65 mln bcn with about 80-90% of time pool availability
48 hours mining on http://minergate.com gives me about 1 mln bcn with 100% of time pool availability
Again, i appreciate your work! But Minergate is just more profitable and stable.
Keep your work and i hope you will be as stable as Minergate.

I wanna do minergate, but I am mining stratum. Any suggestions? Last time I checked, minergate was windows only :/

What is your miner? If you have cpuminer-multi, it is buggy with stratum - problem is that if e.g. you have 4 cores and try 4 threads with it you will have 99% of CPU idle, because it is not working in correct way. Also native cpuminer is not working with minergate, but guys made fork with improvements to make it work with minergate - https://github.com/ekimmo/cpuminer-multi - WOLFs miner with minergate support
https://github.com/ekimmo/cpuminer-multi-LucasJones - LucasJones miner with minergate support.

BUT there is still first problem with 99% of CPU idle, BUT, there is a nice workaround:
try to connect miner via "screen" like that:

[code]
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;
screen -dm ./minerd -a cryptonight -o bcn.pool.minergate.com:5555 -u your_minergate_email -p x -t 1;

That example will launch 12 minerd instances each with 1 thread. And with minergate it will gives you 10% of cpu idle on 4 core.
Try to play with number of screens, but general rule is to use CPU_CORESx3 or CPU_CORESx4 to mine on cpuminer with NOT stratum protocol.
It works for me, hope it helps someone

Thanks man. I got it to work, and my account is sensing that I am mining, but it isn't actually mining. The bar on minergate turns green, but I'm not getting a hash rate. My cpu usage is up at 95%, and says that it is mining, but doesn't display any hash rate. Any ideas?
