You said you're mining solo? You'll only get accepted if you solve a block. Rough guess at your hashrate, that will be once every 5 days on average at the current difficulty. Try on a pool first to make sure you're really working properly

I have soloed in the past with no problems , And for the last week trying all am getting is stale and stale and stale for when it does find blocks. On average its finding 5 per day and all rejected. As the week before even on same difficulty I was getting accepted shares here and their with 0 stale but now its nothing but stale.

Also here is whats going on from one small machine

There is no such thing as accepting shares from solo mining, only accepting blocks. cgminer will attempt to send any >64k shares with ltc mining, but they'll be rejected when solo mining since diff is now 5M as you can see in your snapshot. I see nothing wrong here.

Well the problem I have already just seen is the diff for one and seen that it is 78 not 5M and cant understand it. I tried BFG miner to see if its the same on it and BFG says 78 giving correct network difficult and cgminer seems to be showing incorrect data even tho everything is exact.... Ill just give up wanting more litecoin

You don't want to join a pool? I'm able to mine up 8 LTC / day on a pool with my simple setup using CGMiner. Solo mining didn't sound terribly profitable unless you can throw lots of hashing power at it.

i can make around 15 to 20 a day in pools solo I can make maybe 2 to 3 blocks a day if lucky so that's 150 liteocin compared to max 60ltc for them days but I do a mixture so I mine some cards on solo some on pools

Sounds like you should stick to the pool until you can narrow your problem down. Averaging 60 is better than hoping to get "lucky" with 150.

Obviously there is no guarantee but I feel this will be more profitable in the long run while mining is still producing good outcomes.
