Thanks, you're on fire today with the quickness.


ONE OTHER QUESTION:
Example:


What happened to the scrypt-n vsLTC stats? Yesterday these numbers were mostly in the 200%+... how is it these numbers have changed after the fact? Was there an error in the original calculation?

I see you've updated your FAQ:  http://wafflepool.com/faq#normalized
Is this a change implemented just today, as in it was previously calculated without the 0.47?

This is correct.  Previously it was raw BTC per MHs values, but to make it a fair comparison (mostly for the header), it has been normalized to BTC per Scrypt MHs.  Don't want people looking up there being like "WTF, I changed to mining Scrypt-N and I'm not making 2x what I was before!".  If Scrypt was 100%, and Scrypt-N was 105% for the day, moving your exact same miner (assuming properly calibrated) would earn 5% more that day.

This has more of an impact on the new algorithms (one of the reasons it was changed), for example, you'll get roughly 4x the hashrate on X11, and showing them all separately becomes a chore to memorize, normalization makes it a very quick comparison Smiley
