I am getting an error or message as indicated by mining software that mentions SOCKET
This message is a normal message. Any severity to the message applies to the connection link between you and the remote connection, it does not apply to mining or your hardware.
This message indicates that the connection to the remote service endpoint was closed. It can be that your miner disconnected, or remote side has closed the connection.
Your miner may close the connection for a variety of reasons:
- A mining reset as requested by the pool in normal operation
- A hardware event initiated the disconnection
- Protocol incompatibilty
The remote side (our service endpoint) will issue a disconnect for a varirty of reasons:
- The pool being mined to (yours or renters) requested a connection reset.
- Our service changed pool configuration (at your request, or when renter changes their pools)
- Our service could not connect to your pool
- Protocol incompatibilty
In these cases your miner should be configued to reconnect as soon as possible, which is the default case 99.99% of the time.
