Hashrate rising again. Thanks for spreading the hashes around evenly amongst the pools me hearties, let's try to keep it that way.
Just a reminder that ndl.poolofpools.com is charging ZERO FEES still. We're small, but we're still finding a block every few minutes on average. We'll find 'em quicker, and keep the blockchain more secure/stable, if you come join us!
edit: seems like your pool accepts far less shares than other pools what leeds to only a 1/6 of reward. I have no idea what it is but I think you need to fix something. Will come back when it's working.
It's not broken, it's using vardiff, which starts out at a high difficulty for higher hashrate users. If you're a lower hashrate user, as in this case, it will take a few minutes to ratchet the difficulty down, then it will show accepted shares every 10 seconds or so, +/- 30 seconds.
And at any rate, you can't judge a pool's effectiveness by the rate of accepteds CGminer shows without factoring in the share difficulty, as the pool shares will be multiplied by the difficulty factor. That means that even when the difficulty is high initially, you're solving and getting more difficult shares accepted, which count more than quicker, lower difficulty shares--the total amount of work done is the same, and therefore the amount of coins you will earn is the same.
