I've just run an interesting 48 hour comparison. My mining rig runs at about 1460kh/s and I'd been dedicated mining CGB on multipool for about a week. I was getting about a 0.05 BTC return per day return on profit snapshot. Got a bit better when CGB went through the roof a couple of days ago. Exactly 2 days ago I switched back to the multiport for 24 hours and my return dropped to 0.026 BTC a day. Exactly 1 day ago I switched back to mining CGB and my return for the last 24 hours jumped back up to 0.045 BTC.

What makes this even more surprising is that the CGB exchange rate has dropped ~ 30% in the last 24 hours. I'm getting about 2 to 3% stales exclusively mining CGB compared to up to 20% stales with the shitcoins. LTC and NVC are about 1% stales.

Conclusion... Too much coin switching resulting in down time and too many shit coins with high stales result in lower profitability.

That was my problem with this pool as well. Way to many lost shares during pool switching, disconnections almost everyday, and a massive variance in day to day payouts. I run MultiMiner and use it to switch pools and have found it to be much more reliable in the long run than using multippol sadly. If the disconnects and the efficiency were more predictable I'd still be mining here.

Was this on US server or EU?

Sadly I have had this problem on both servers and now have finally given up on trying to get it to not disconnect everyday several times.

The problem doesn't happen when we don't switch coins. Hence why your rig flound had very little SS and rejects, we only switched coins a few times in the time frame you showed.

My rig that ran for over a month (screenshot on last page) has less than 1% SS and rejects. There were many switches in the past 18 hours, we switch to CGB on a very regular and predictable basis. In fact the screenshot with the connection to the EU server shows a switch without any share loss or even a stale.

You said in that 18 hour window your rig was on we were mining LTC for almost half the time? It couldn't have had to many switches if that was the case. I know with my setup I have it set to change coins an check profitability every 5 mins. Even though I am switching almost every 5 mins I get a much better payout with the same hash power as on multipool. So the idea of switching coins often shouldn't affect profitability depending on the payout scheme of the pool. That said the more multipool switches the more stales/rejects I get. That's not the case when I use separate pools rather than one that port forwards to a different pool/port.
