ethminer failed to submit hashrate

Question

Just installed geth and ethminer. On first trial, I got this error. Any idea?

ethminer -G -F http://yolo.ethclassic.faith:9999/0x<my-wallet> --farm-recheck 200

[OPENCL]:Found suitable OpenCL device [GeForce GTX 980 Ti] with 6440894464 bytes of GPU memory

JSON-RPC problem. Probably couldn't connect. Retrying in 1... 

I have geth 1.5.9, ethminer 1.2.9.

The pool you are linking with the -F flag seems not to exist anymore.

 0 ✓ user@ursae ~ $ curl -s -I yolo.ethclassic.faith | head -1
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
 0 ✓ user@ursae ~ $ curl -s -I ethclassic.faith | head -1

You could try one of the following pools for Ethereum Classic:
