Still having shares stop submitting after ~20 minutes like clockwork. No actual freeze with cgminer, just shares no longer get submitted at all, even as it continues to hash away.
Is no one else experiencing this? It's not on my end, I ruled out pretty much every variable, tried different versions of cgminer, et al. Something had to have changed server side, and it affects uswest, useast, and eu at the least (I didn't try asia). Tried a different address- same deal.
Meanwhile testing on other pools and it's fine. Hashcows for instance has no issues as far as this symptom goes.
I saw that someone on twitter has the same issue. How many people are experiencing this?
Do you get rejected shares, or cgminer just stops submitting them?
Edit: Could it be an issue with having a difficulty of 1024? Did it happen at the same time as that change, or later?
I believe everything was running smooth with 1024 difficulty for at least a few hours, anyway. My overall WU actually went up slightly with that change. Okay, checking into it- looks like everything was actually fine for almost an entire day. Issue began occurring shortly after the payout for the 17th (Jan. 18, 2014, 2:36 a.m.) My own configuration did not change at all during this time.
Cgminer continues to chug away as normal, except it no longer has accepted shares. No rejects, no nothing. Diff changes appear as usual, new blocks are detected as usual, etc- it just keeps hashing away, but entirely futilely. Not an "Accepted" or "Rejected" in sight. (Oddly, once in a while there is still "stale share detected, submitting as user requested", even though there wasn't an actual share to do that with.)
As I normally have cgwatcher set to restart cgminer if more than 2 minutes go by with any accepted or rejected shares, I can watch via the logs the extreme regularity by which it happens, every 20 minutes or so.
