ethminer 0.16.0.dev3 seems not working with neth-proxy

[StefanOberhumer]

It seems the latest ethminer does not work with your proxy !

Confirmed

I must withdraw my confirmation.

If ethminer receives job (which apparently does looking at the log) it should start mining.
neth-proxy can't do much more than pushing jobs.

As I read it's detecting new epoch maybe you should allow some more time for ethminer to generate full DAG. At least 5 to 20 seconds (depending on GPU speeds).

[StefanOberhumer]

It seems to make a difference if I change the connection via API or if I start ethminer directly with the proxy.

Launching ethminer with
-P stratum+tcp://${NETH_PROXY_IP}:{NETH_PROXY_PORT}/${HOSTNAME}
causes ethminer to not start mining.
(As you see it's not spinning up the workers to generate the DAG)

If I launch ethminer with
-P stratum+tcp://${ETH_WALLET}.${HOSTNAME}@eu1.ethermine.org:4444 and add and activate the connection to stratum+tcp://${NETH_PROXY_IP}:{NETH_PROXY_PORT}/${HOSTNAME} via API it works and the miner keeps mining using the proxy.

Got it ...
actually there is a problem on both sides (ethminer and neth-proxy).

1. neth-proxy : while in simple stratum mode it does not reply to a mining.authorize request
2. ethminer : changing connection via API actually does not issue a farm.stop() while it should (it actually does on disconnect/reconnect due to failures or timeouts)

Will work on both.

👍 THX - had no time to analyze (Try to use my spare time for the ethminer watchdog)

Any progress? Or workaround? ethminer still not starting (tested with 0.17.0-alpha)

[AndreaLanfranchi]

@AuthVersion
sorry for being late on this.

neth-proxy is undergoing a huge refactoring and actually sharing my spare time among ethminer and neth-proxy.

Hopefully in a week will be ok.

Great news, thanks!

Hello,
how is refactoring going?
