Claymore Miner doesnt work, socket was closed remotely (by pool)

Did you forget the "-esm 3" option by chance?

i dont think so this is my start batch

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EthDcrMiner64.exe -epool stratum+tcp://eth.poolmining.org:3072 -ewal 0xcD45E729c1B*************************** -epsw x -esm 3 -mode 1 -ftime 10 -allcoins 1

censored the last part of my wallet for safety purposes

do i need to download something more?

No. You don't. Let me check this.

Hmm. I have no problems mining using that batch script. Could you do me a favor and check your claymore directory for files ending in *_log.txt that contain references to eth.poolmining.org and send the file(s) to info@poolmining.org? You don't have to edit out wallet information from the file since that's known to the pool anyway.

I think something similar has happened to me at around 15:20 CET today. I did not get that error but I noticed that my miner sort of hanged, it just stopped receiving new jobs and was stuck on one. The command line wasn't frozen, I could terminate with ctrl+c easily. Restarted then. I even noticed a massive drop in hashrate for the entire pool, instead of 1GHZ it showed around 600Mh for a minute or two.

I'm on ethminer.

@happyserendipity: Could you also send your log file?

I don't think ethminer logs by default, would have to add that capability. So unfortunately no log to share from me, but will work on getting a log set up.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Had this "timeout" happen moments ago. From log:

We had to restart all pools for an important security update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Oh, no probs.
