Wow.. I hope the good news your about to tell us is that we can expect the results to be more like today's results going forward..

Bummer.. Spoke too soon.. Why is it that all the sudden Est dropped almost 50%? Huh

?

The much higher than normal estimated earnings was due to a bug specific to the est. earnings script. I had fixed it in the actual payout script, but forgot to also correct it in est. earnings. Its unfortunate, I know everyone was looking forward to x3 to x4 rewards today...

I've been thinking it through a bit after seeing the pool stratum connection disconnect at every start of a new round. Seeing my miner go down for 15-30 seconds, and about 45 seconds till they are back up to speed.

I am wondering are you restarting a new stratum server each time it switches coins?

If so I wonder if it would be more efficient to have a stratum proxy (or 2, one in NA) running with a really fast reconnect rate to the pool stratum server ... and have all clients maintain connections to that proxy, seems to me that doing this may might get a faster work restart after the coin switch.

Its been bugging me in my head that I see stuff like this quite often in my miner output on the coin switch. This one happened right on the finding of a block ... did it even get found, or was that one of the 24 shares lost due to disconnect?

ing!

I'm not sure if its the case for you as well or not (and it may be rather difficult to tell), but one thing I noticed during my testing, is that my client would show a much longer overall disconnect period than was actually happening. It seemed to take quite awhile for my miner to start showing accepted shares again, even though the stratum logs on the server were showing me submitting them much sooner.

I will however look into this. Always looking for ways to improve.
