After mining for several days, I have not been getting paid for the blocks that I find.  Getting really pissed off and have been trying to figure out wtf is up, about to abandon this coin.

I have gotten paid on a couple of blocks, changed no settings, let it run all night.  8 rejects, 0 stale, 2 accepted.  Wallet shows nothing from today at all.  listtransactions shows no mention of orphans or anything.  Is there a fork in the chain... I don't understand why my time with this coin is being utterly wasted.

I've been mining this coin almost from the beginning, and never had problems with it to be honest
 

me too. how much are u hashing?

No fork that I know of, everything looks to be working well.

I was solo mining and would go several days sometimes with no finds and then two or three blocks would be found in a day.  I decided to go to pool mining and the payout is about what I would expect and very consistent. I really liked solo mining hoping to get one of the big blocks for myself, but never did. I had rejects but if you look at best submission it would always be below the difficulty required by quite a bit.

What is your hash rate?

I'm doing about 500kh/s.

If I wasn't solving blocks, that would be one thing.  But I don't at all understand how I have on numerous accounts now had multiple Accepted blocks while solo mining (takes 8-20 hours to show 1 usually) and not gotten paid on them at all.

I see like 4 rejects to each 1 accept that shows up for LOT, but how can I not get paid and not have orphans showing more times than not?

I don't know about your unpaid blocks, though it is probably to do with the wallet being configured incorrectly or a network disconnect.
But your rejects could be from using too high an intensity. Try setting up the miner with a pool (because results will be faster so you'll see what's wrong right away), play with the intensity a bit and then once you have the config right use that for your solo-mining.

Mines perfectly fine with other coins and my wallet IS configured correctly because: I've gotten paid on it before, in the last few days, and haven't changed the settings.  It mines just fine with pools and most other solo wallets, and I get paid on them.  So why aren't my Accepted blocks getting paid out?

I prefer to solo mine coins with lower difficulty.  Assuming I actually am getting the payout for Accepted shares, it seems to yield me slightly better results.  But when I leave it running and end up with no coins, I feel like something is definitely wrong after multiple Accepts

in that case I'm not sure what's wrong i'm afraid. I solo mined LOT for about a week and never got a reject/missed payout. Could it be that you have an extremely low number of connections to the network?
