Been told it could be problems with the Stratum proxy as just changed the miners details to a different pool and works fine.
is there a way to still mine on Slush without the proxy ?
Cheers
OR can anyone recommend the best pool for the Blades, Cheers
I recently solved the same problem everyone else is having with my two v2's:
Instead of connecting to eligius (my fav pool-- gives you more info than most others) via getwork, I used their gbt server. 'gbt.mining.eligius.st' with port 9337. (Remember to put two values in ports and servers)
Everything's been working for 24 hours.
Hope this helps!

Instead of using getwork, I used the gbt server and port on eligius. For some reason I just can't get getwork to work any more. Input these, delete the cookies from the previous config and restart. I'll update with my hashrates tomorrow. Currently (a few minutes after startup I'm doing 20.4 gh/s).

Could you be very specific please...
What did you type into which fields?
Sure.
IPs: 192.168.1.200 (.201 for the second blade) Mask: default Gateway: default WEB port: 8000 Primary and secondary DNS: default Ports: 9337,9337 Server addresses: gbt.mining.eligius.st,gbt.mining.eligius.st user:pass:1K*my address*Q23:pwd,1K*my address*Q23:pwd
Hope this helps! I reset both of mine to fac default, but I don't think I need to do that.

If you're trying to connect to a remote pool's getwork, you'll need their server address in the Pool addresses field, their getwork port in the Pool ports field, and an accurate Gateway so outgoing internet traffic knows where to start routing.
My initial reply was to pluMmet, using the mining_proxy command line. If you're using the mining proxy on a local machine, it might help to change the default getwork port (-gp option) and make sure to match the setting with the Pool ports field in your blade. If for some reason a local bitcoind is running on your machine, or some other software is using port 8332, it could hose up communications. That's a simple thing to rule out.
It's a serious issue as I've tried lots of getwork pools and the blades don't work on any of them.
Totally-- the weird thing is they were designed for getwork. I even did a factory reset, reconfigged and it still doesn't work. I'll maybe restart my router, and then I'll go to stratum though I'm not optimistic.
I wanted it to use Eligius so I used (Dogies suggestion): mining_proxy.py -o mining.eligius.st -p 3334 -cu 1yourSweetCoinsComeToThisAddress -cp x
Not only did it not work the terminal ignored that and was trying to connect to Slushs pool.
I ended up just doing: mining_proxy.py which had the slushs stuff already going and the blades synced up right away.
It looks like the proxy.py has been nurfed to just use slushes pool. I d/l'd two days ago for the slushes pool site and it's not .tar anymore but .zip. Still linux of course.. well py anyway.
I have them running now even though slushs pool is not awarding me anything.
Beyond that this is ridiculous. I had been using getwork just fine for months.. I obviously know how to do that but the blades just won't do it.
v2 blades btw.
Dude, I'm having the same problem with getwork-- it's so frustrating, especially when I didn't change anything, the blades just stopped connecting.
Let me know if you get it figured out; I'll reciprocate if I discover what's happening.
