Did you get anywhere on fixing the pool to work with the new higher hashrate miners like the titans? I know you think its the titans, but I get 280 to 320mh averages on 2 other pools (thats each, on 6 different titans), so there has to be something on your end. If you look at givemecoin, they have a specific port for the titans that gives me 300 mh all day every day and I know clerver mining has been working with some people on the knc forums to optimize his pool too. Better keep up on the new tech or ya might get left behind my friend.

With that said, your pool does pay out the best and all my slower miners hash great there. I really wish that I could use my KNCs there htough, but they hash at around 150mh each vs 300 at the other pools :-(

I believe that what you wrote is misleading. This pool has always worked fine with miners of any hash rate. In fact, KnC's allegation that some pools are not "up to speed" with newer, faster, mining hardware is a downright lie spread to try to justify the numerous issues that Titans have. There's a simple reason for this: if a pool uses vardiff, a fast miner is no different from a slow miner: because of the difficulty adjustment, both will submit about the same amount of shares in a given time period. I am perfectly aware that Titans seem to behave differently on different pools; what I am saying is that this is KnC's fault, and not the pools' fault.

What is really disconcerting is that two different Titans with the same configuration often behave differently on the same pool. There are Titans on this pool hashing away happily at over 340 MH/s, while some others, like yours, apparently work better at other pools.

Weeks ago I wrote an email to KnC to ask them for more information about these miners, and I did get an initial reply from one of their devs, but sadly when I started posing more technical questions I got no more replies. During that same period, I worked with a Titan owner to try to maximize the compatibility of the pool with these machines, and this collaboration brought very good results.
However, it looks like the newer Titan firmwares (1.10 and later) have different requirements to work optimally. A few users brought this to my attention in the IRC channel yesterday, and we are now testing some new server configuration to try, yet again, to maximize compatibility. This is not easy because, as I've mentioned above, Titans do not seem to be created equal.
