Anyone else noticing a crazy high stalerate?  My 15 minute stalerate is between 20 and 27% across all 4 of my miners.

Edit: May have been a fluke, I just let it sit and everything looks normal again.
It probably happens with some of the fast coins now.  I find the same thing occasionally - this is why I expressed a strong dislike for the rejected share scheme that came along with PW's new stratum implementation.

For a switching pool, what I used to like about wafflepool the most was that shares were shares, unless they were truly truly stale.  In my mind, it just decreases the appearance of variance, and eliminates the risk of coin penalty if the switcher is splitting hash between say litecoin and fluttercoin.

I take the opposite view... Pw now correctly counts accepted shares and stales/rejects as they should be, instead of accepting some shares on changeover that should have been stale.  This pool is now inline with the proper behavior of every other multi switching pool out there.  The "low rejects vs other pools" that people touted is actually a bug. A bug in our favor, but still a bug.

Yes, miners got a bit of a boost with credit on shares that should have been rejected, but that wasn't very fair to the pool or pw.
