<p>I am not using a pool, I am using my graphics cards mining with poclbm over rpc. i do not understand why I get these messages.</p>

<p>Is this something that is fixable? Should I bother (does it affect the mining in any significant way)?</p>

Is this something that is fixable? Should I bother (does it affect the mining in any significant way)?
