Lost connection to xmr.poolmining.com
I have lost connection to the pool. It was connected for about a month.

I got it to work putting a random password in my configuration file. As soon as I did that it connected right up. Seems very strange to me.
Thanks for the reply.
The main page for the XMR pool has images that say to use "d=8" for the password when using GPU mining and "x" as the password for CPUs. Not sure that it matters much if a random password works, though.
@Jason: Thanks for reporting. In reality the password is currently not used at all. Need to update the page.
I'm currently running XMRig and I (and many others, apparently) get an error that says "No login/password specified code: -1". The program had been running fine (until yesterday) without a password, and it currently runs fine when you do have a password. As of now, you have to have some sort of password in the config file for XMRig to work. Same thing with xmr-stak-cpu.
