I wonder how did scrypt mining drop below 100%?  I thought it's vsLTC, so if altcoins are lower than LTC, we would mine LTC instead.  Also, are we merge-mining dogecoins?

I noticed you have instructions for mining x13, but I don't see any stats for it.  What coins would we be mining if we followed your x13 instructions?  And what is the profitability?

I'm sure it was probably mentioned somewhere in this thread before, but it's a pretty long thread now.  Thanks!

X13 is not working right now. If you try it the port will be dead.

As for Scrypt, mining LTC does not always yield 100% "theoretical" LTC earnings due to variance, orphans, etc, and there is also the pool fee.

Thanks for the explanation.  Strangely, I don't see LTC or DOGE in the stats page, which worried me.

Thanks again.

We're definitely mining both Smiley

The issue is just that we've been reasonably unlucky (still within expected limited) in our LTC mining over the last few days.  So when its saying 80% vsLTC, its essentially us mining LTC about 30% of the time (and getting unlucky, so having 0% reward for it), and other things 70% of the time and having regular luck (115%-ish reward).  Putting us overall at around 80%.
