I've tried the miner on solo.nicehash.com and after some wifi interruption it never resumed, I had to close the window and restart. Besides my "accepted" seems to remain at 0, not shocking given my 8 khash per core lol. I was expecting much more. Not to troll but why is this still maintained, most pools don't even accept GPUs.

What version, and on what operating system? Please provide the command-line parameters you passed and the output log.

Nowadays cpuminer is mainly used as a development tool for testing mining servers and block generation. If your goal is to do actual mining on a mainnet, it is definitely not what for you're looking for.

I am on Windows 10 and Server 2016, both failed to restart after
minerd -o stratum+tcp://stratum.solo.nicehash.com:3334 -u 1MqTipGz68vvhxwXpShbcfjPBR8P5Znd9A -p x

I think the behavior is slightly different on my i7-7700HQ and my i7-4750HQ, but logs I do not have. I wasn't interested in putting this in "production", I am just shocked that it is 5000 times slower than a GTX980. I will revisit the code later on.

I just checked the server's website and I think you were were either on the wrong port or using the wrong algorithm. Were you trying to mine Bitcoin or Litecoin?

That figure looks wrong. I'm going to guess you were trying to mine Bitcoin but forgot to tell the miner to use SHA-256d (-a sha256d).

Regarding the actual issue, it would be great if you could try to reproduce it and provide a full log with debug output enabled (-D). Alternatively, please provide detailed instructions to reproduce it.
