Wafflepool Seems to be saying one thing the day before a and then something less the next day. This Has happened to me tree times over the last 5 days. Went to be last night an d it said I had just over 0.004. Log in today some 8 Hours after and it says 0.0039. This has happened three times

In unconfirmed and unexchanged balances? Of course it changes - it's unconfirmed or unexchanged, and blocks will be orphaned or exchange rates will fluxcuate. Are you really complaining about a 2.5% decrease in an estimated value?

This is also exacerbated by an unfortunate set of coins that were mined. One of our hidden coins had a reasonably low difficulty (thus high profitability) so we mined it pretty hard. Unfortunately, it doesn't adjust difficulty every block like most recent coins do, but makes an adjustment every few hundred blocks. Once the difficulty adjusted (with us mining included), it became unprofitable, so we moved away, and now, blocks that should ideally be taking ~1 minute to find, are taking upwards of an hour to find (extremely high difficulty, extremely low profitability = no one mining). So we have a decent amount of coins that are taking a very long time to finish maturing/exchanging, and are affect the graphs pretty heavily (you can see all the price swings in the graph pretty easily).

They should be getting out of there in the next couple days, but short of just removing them from the graphs, there isn't much we can do about them. We have protections in to prevent this from happening in the future as well (this is the first time we've had this type of problem).

Waffle pool was showing 220% of ltc profitability clevermining was shwoing 139% while i was mining on each of the servers. How do you explain that? Poor hashing efficiency on waffle is my case too. Difficulty set as adviced to 8192. Any smart and logical explanation to those numbers?

Historical profitability is not an indication of future performance... If waffle is reporting 220% LTC profitability, that is historical data and isn't necessarily what you will earn if you mine for the rest of the day. If you don't mine for at least several days, you shouldn't expect things to average out reasonably.

Difficulty is also totally irrelevant to realized profitability.

Can you elaborate at all on this? I scan through here and through my emails pretty often, and this is the first complaint I've seen about it. Hashrate on the site hasn't changed much (if I pushed out code that caused the low efficiency, would normally see a hashrate drop associated with it). But we did change the stratum servers a week or so ago to work with merged mining, so its possible its only happening with certain miners. As always, more info is better than less

My device is Zeusminer thunder x2, a way to observe this relatively objective (i think, since the graph on waffles's web page looks same whether i mine thorugh rentals or directly) is when i'm mining through miningrigrentals i can see same graph for different pools. Below u have screenshots and i think i don't have to describe which one is wafflepool.

Someone above said 2.5% is not much... if u spent a lot of money on a device that is barely earning for the ellectricity every thing counts, if i hear such words i can see 15 y old boy mining with dadas computer, for dads money...
