cgminer "stratum connection to pool 0 interrupted" issue: "The fork of my miner uses the original stratum code I wrote for cgminer which used libcurl to set up the stratum socket connection. When this problem originally occurred, it would crash in libcurl. After tons of debugging I had so many crashes due to libcurl bugs that I decided to abandon using libcurl and just use raw socket code for all stratum code. That fixed the crashes (on both linux and windows) but on windows for some reason a socket just hangs up and never returns without any meaningful failure that should normally happen instead. That's why this bug manifests in two different ways. Older versions of cgminer would also crash during this interruption if you read back through this thread. However so many other crashes were fixed by abandoning libcurl that it was worth it. It's worth noting that improvements to this code keep going in and as recently as 3.3.2 another stratum disconnect issue was fixed, so if you're on an older version I highly recommend upgrading to 3.3.4 (the latest)."
