Yes, I had the same experience. I tagged @OCEAN about it and @GrassFedBitcoin replied saying it was actually working. But I don't think it was. I've been mining on ckpool for 10 days now with no issues.
thanks. i suppose that would explain the hashrate inconsistency, but doesnt explain why the machine disconnects or starts mining at almost 0 hashes. based on how much better my bitaxe performs on ckpool, something else going on that they should look into.
