When computing the "profitability" for coins, do you take into account any sort of average stales/rejects from previous rounds mining that coin?

The reason I ask is because the current round seems to be mining fastcoin which just plain sucks with regard to rejects/stales. If the profitability of fastcoin isn't taking into account the ~15% rejects this round then isn't its profitability really ~85% of the reported value of 55 x .85 = 46.75?

(The round just changed to wdc as I was writing this post and it may have just answered my question...)

Looking at the current WDC round profitability of 48.2328, I suppose that your profitability calculation is probably accounting for those rejects/stales, though some feedback would be nice! Also, sorry if this question was already answered, given the flaming that already occurred ~~on this page...~~ the previous page...

Yes we take it into account. Each coin has a custom 'penalty' applied to its profitability rating based on general stale/reject rate of the coin. FST is fairly high, so has to be quite a bit more profitable (baseline) for us to hit it.
