EDIT: the stale thing is weird. I get amazing stale count, but suddenly I get like a burst of stales, for example this just happened:

It happens in random cards and only in this pool.

Except for this "bursts" of stales the stale count is amazing.

I confirm that, I have the same problem.

Thanks, we will also look into yours and see if there is a correlation. However, if you had only just experienced them at apprometly the time you posted that message, just for note, we were fighting off a series of fake getwork submissions and were fiddling with out incoming traffic filters.

I like the pool but my hashrate is lower here than on other pools. When I mine at BTC-Guild or Deepbit I have appr. 270Mhash, but on this pool I have 220-230. What's that all about?

Thanks!

As for the hash rate on our site. Just like Deepbit or BTC Guild, the hash rate we display is simply an estimate and doesn't play a part in your earnings. Different pools are going to use different algorithms for estimating your estimated hash rate, add in some variance, and then you have a recipe for seeing different estimates no matter which pool you view.

However, I can tell you that our pool looks at your last N share submissions and calculates your hash rate based off of that. So, if you are just starting mining with us, or if there was a gap in your mining (eg, stopped your mining software to reconfigure it, etc), then your estimated hash rate will be a lot lower. After a few shares are submitted this will level out and IMHO start to show you a pretty good estimate of your hash rate.
