Nicehashminer: Keccak stratum connection problems

[p1r473]

Receiving stratum problems on both of my rigs that were trying Keccak
It works for a bit then breaks

[ChriscomIT]

Seems it was just a short and temporary downtime of the server. I recognized the same. It was up again some minutes later.

It happened 2 different days for me so far. Hopefully won't happen again..

[ChriscomIT]

Please don't reopen this again and again. It's no fault of the application itself.

[nicehashdev]

There is nothing to fix. There are simply not enough orders (no unlimited order) by buyers so not all of you are able to mine keccak all the time.

[ChriscomIT]

@nicehashdev Ah ok good to know. Never did notice that. So when there are no orders we simply can't connect to the server?

[nicehashdev]

Of course. Usually, buyers put bottom wall for very low price and make it unlimited. But in this case, nobody did this. This is also a hint for someone to pull quite some almost free money if being done.

[ChriscomIT]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Sounds good. Yeah if I had enough crypto at the moment I sure would give it a shot. But I can't afford to lose something right now so I better don't test my luck. :D One thing I still don't get is why the profitability of keccak sometimes the highest even if there are not enough or no orders at all? Does that rely on the latest profitability keccak had before running out of orders? Thanks.

@nicehashdev can you set Keccak's "paying" in the API when no orders are placed to 0 so it will switch to something when Keccak has no orders ? If no orders, it should be paying 0 in the API
