Describe the bugUsing ethminer with Nanopool, while hashrate and shares are being registered properly, the miners don't show up in the worker list despite I've set the worker name (and later on a passcode) on each of the systems that I use to mine.However, the hashrate and shares do register properly and I'm indeed getting ETHs there. It's just that workers not visible there would not be rated and thus I would not be able to change my minimum payout as that operation requires a visible worker with sufficient rating under the specified passcode/email.Not sure if anyone have reported this before, but I saw this on reddit which seemed to be similar. Do I need to set some additional parameters to get this working? (NOTE: The arguments mentioned there appear to be outdated and not really compatible with the recent ethminer versions anymore)Even the latest in the release (ethminer 0.19 alpha) doesn't work either.By the way, how is ethminer's compatibility with pools nowadays? I've tried Ethermine, Sparkpool and f2pool. None of these pools worked, complaining about some protocol-related errors. Eventually I found Nanopool which worked with ethminer, and my shares accepted, just that workers don't show up.To ReproduceUse the needed parameters to run ethminer to mine on Nanopool and that's it.Expected behaviorThe workers should be visible on the Nanopool dashboard, along with the hashrate and shares.Screenshots (Optional)OS: Windows 10 and Manjaro LinuxEthminer: 0.18 on Linux, 0.19 alpha on WindowsHardware: VariousOptions used: I just set a 9999 farm-retries count instead of the default 3 to prevent the miner from exiting when the pool goes down (which happens intermittently). The rest follows Nanopool's and ethminer's instructions. Need to use stratum+tcp because stratum+ssl currently fails due to expired certificates.Additional contextThe current situation with ethminer is uncertain as it's not really an officially supported miner on Nanopool (they use their own ones), and Claymore is currently recommended on most pools that I currently know, including the ones that I failed to get working with ethminer.
