I keep seeing a stratumserver error, failed to get ip address of the client connection.

The miner is connected via local ip. It does sort itself out without intervention, but i wonder what's going on

hmm, I've seen it a couple of times when someone's port scanning me... but thats about it

Ah, so it's more likely port scanning again -_-/

O well. Apart from that, I was wondering if it's possible to customise loglevel

I'm currently using 2, but i don't really want to see every new block on the side chain

yup, when launching just specify the log level you'd like with --log-level

I get that you can set it numerically, but i was wondering if it's possible to be more specific

there are potentially options available

however depending on what exactly you're looking for, it could be a case of setting the log level, then having a script parse over the log file for the specific information you're looking for

Gotcha, I've seen that 'sidechain' reports new tips and when there's enough work to submit it to the mainchain, so you're suggestion is probably the best

its something I'll be looking into as I'd quite like a custom display of whats happening but my C++ skills are pathetic, so are my python skills, but I reckon I'd have a better chance of doing something in python :)
