it's a network-miner-pool issue, and not a pool issue. it's explained in plain english by ckolivas, the cgminer developer, almost a year ago.

and as for people 'run like hell', the cm pool hashrate is currently increasing, not decreasing.  my observation is people come and go based on profitability.

If 'no one reads any miner faq', then why would they read a pool faq?

that's what happens when you start in the deep end.  

For people just getting into mining, i'd recommend dogecoin.

You can use the same one if you don't care about individual stats.

DO NOT use something like 1FSrnfduyNpckXbA7ncgH7wbf1oBHs4ML.worker1
Leave it as 1FSrnfduyNpckXbA7ncgH7wbf1oBHs4ML

I am running two gpu rigs and 11 Gridseed miners.

Rig 1  2.6 MH/s
Rig 2  2.0 MH/s
GS    3.1 MH/s

But cleverming is only showing 5.6 MH/s?  should be at least 7MH/s?  Anyone else having problems?

any ideas?

how should we think about the old unexchanged balances (~11 BTC more than 2 weeks old)? are these effectively like stales after the fact?

Yes my miners have been slowly losing hash rate until they shut down completely on CM.  So I switched to ipominer, CINNI and they had problems with cinni servers and again my miners shutdown, but never switched to backup.  So down all day.   Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

So I switched back to CM and gridseeds shutdown again.   Not sure what is going on?

I had a day when all my gridseeds shut down at once.  I did "this and that" and they finally started up.
I left the house, came back.  Again they all shut down.

Long story short, I finally concluded that plugging my phone into a port on the front of the computer that runs my mining software was what caused it.

Pardon me for not qualifying what "this and that" includes,  nor detailing what mining software I am using and etc.  I tied a knot in the cable that I was using to charge my phone so I would recognize it and never use it again (but I kept it in case I wanted to prove it was the culprit).

...I use a USB mapping utility called UsbTreeView, and on its diagram the port where my phone was plugged in, it showed a yellow "i" indicating a problem. 

I am not suggesting that your telephone is causing your problem, but rather I am encouraging you to maybe look elsewhere besides the gridseeds and power supply, as I had to do.

Isolate your mining computer and don't connect anything to it? My mining computer is not used for any other purpose. No problems.

@boxofspuds, the only info from clevermining is from a web page that includes your BTC address. No individual workers. So all you can see are hashrate, rejects and current coins earned balance.

hmmm, well i guess if they say web crawlers can scan it, there has to be a way. what's the link where you read this?

I went the python route a few weeks back, but got no where.  After reading your post, i fired wireshark back up and it looks like there's a hidden form that needs some special key to return in order to let us through ... so I also think we'll need some code to accept their cookie/whatever and respond back similar to how a browser would.  still kind of pain to grab some data  

update: ok so i did some digging. got this from the cloudflare site:
Javascript and cookies are required for the tests, and to record the fact that the tests were correctly passed. The page which your visitors see when in IUAM can be fully customized to reflect your branding. I'm Under Attack mode does not block search engine crawlers or your existing CloudFlare whitelist.

My guess is they whitelisted known and allowed search engine crawlers which is why those bots work where as ours dont.  Add to it that it looks like Terk opted to put the domain in a permanent I'm Under Attack Mode and we are where we are. So pretty much we need to mimic the expected behavior if we want anything to work ... lovely

Ok... I'll try to explain this problem again and hopefully someone else has experience and can help me.

Problem #1:  11 GS miners hashing power degrading and not maintaining advertised hash rates.  This is a  problem on 3 sites currently.  I continue to see the hash rate degrade on MP, IPOM and CM.  It does not matter the coin or site.  GS's supposedly should run at 0.333MH/s but mine are degrading over time until all 11 are at 0.27MH/s.   

  Suggestions I have tried but will not work... MP suggested setting share difficulty to 64.  Tried but no improvement observed.
                                                                 Mine on equip set for mining only.  Rasp Pi is dedicated 100% to GS mining. i.e. suggestion no help!
                                                                 
Problem #2:  Eventually, all 11 miners will shutdown... MinePeon shows no miners active even though miners are still running?  Failover fails (no pun) and backup pools never activated even though software is set and supposedly is capable of restarting on backup?


Here are my settings from MinePeon.... Please if anyone has success running GS's with minepeon and can give me some real help, please contact me.
