Mining Gateway & Stratum Connection

I’m running a data-mining cluster and have an account gateway in place, yet the moment I point it at the Stratum pool the link drops or returns empty metrics. My only goal here is to get clean, continuous Stratum traffic so I can monitor mining performance in real time—share counts, latency, rejected work, the works. You would start by reviewing my current gateway configuration, identify the handshake or authentication issue that keeps the pool from accepting shares, and then tune the Stratum settings (V1 or V2) so they stay stable under load. The environment is Linux-based, the pool software is vanilla Stratum+TCP, and the miners are already pushing work locally; they just can’t report upstream. Once we’re connected, I need a lightweight way—CLI, JSON-RPC call, or a simple dashboard—to confirm that accepted shares, response times, and error rates are flowing correctly. Please document every change you make so I can reproduce it across additional nodes later. Acceptance criteria: • Gateway config cleaned up and saved. • Stratum pool shows live, accurate performance stats from at least one miner for 30-plus minutes without disconnects. • A short step-by-step recap outlining the commands, ports, and parameters used. If you’re comfortable debugging Stratum protocols with tools like tcpdump or Wireshark and can turn this around quickly, let’s get started.
