poolwaffle, it might have been mentioned before, but is there any way we can get average rejection rates listed next to average hash rates, for both the total pool broken out by day, and individual miners broken out per worker? Such information would help drive us all to increase our efficiency collectively.

Yep, on my list for today. It wasn't an issue before so we hadn't been showing it

Until I can get it added, overall pool reject rate is currently going between 2-3% overall.

0.1% rejects overall, same config as before, that only shows it was done correctly

Actually, that does not really prove anything, as the server you're on could very possibly still be running the old code. (Though if pw says it's updated, then I would take him at his word.) Also, it could also show that your equipment is not producing as many valid shares as it can. Or it could show that your miner is not set to submit stale shares, and the only ones that are being rejected by the server are those it submits because it still thinks they have a valid status.

In any case, it shows that miners like phzi were taking a share of your profits by exploiting the system.

Everyone is on the new servers (about 12 hours now), minus about 3 miners (about 15MH total) that are using a custom port for people that couldn't mine on 3333 (which I honestly forgot about until now)... I'll switch that over today.

As for phzi, certainly didn't mean to call anyone out on the miner tweaking, just noticed it was happening, and wanted to fully explain what was going to happen with the new software (and why). I honestly expected a bit higher than 2-3% overall (expected 5-7% and thus more complaining on the forum), but 2-3% seems to be taken really well. From his perspective, everything he did made sense. Kept tuning the card further and further without getting any rejects (which is pretty much exactly what you're supposed to do), and everything was working fine from his side (shares accepted, blocks found, etc). Its just a matter that due to the way the stratum endpoint was handled, it really should have been telling him (rejects) that what he was doing wasn't as efficient as he saw it as (for the pool as a whole that is). My guess is there are a decent number of people in the same spot, he's just going to take the brunt of it because he's here a lot, and posting a lot

Over the past three days, there has been as much as a 26% rise in the value of litecoin itself, the value of which many other scrypt coins seem to track. And as litecoin is one of the coins we have been mining, I should hope that our profits measured in BTC are increasing as well! What you are seeing might have nothing to do with the new server, or the whale not being here, or that you recently found your lucky rabbit's foot.

(If rabbit's feet were really that lucky, then how lucky was the rabbit!)

Unfortunately, over the last 3 days there has also been close to an equal rise in difficulty

LTC profitability has increased only marginally in that time (5%?).
