Title: lost or stolen shares everywhere
Post by: fuzznarf on April 06, 2013, 01:23:08 PM
ran 650+ KHS, 3% stale rate. 0% errors for over an hour using CGminer on notroll last night and got credit for none of the shares.

then switched to give-me-ltc and ran all night, woke up to find I was granted 0.001 LTC for running 7 hours at 650+khs

is anyone else seeing this problem? I'm guessing that other people are because notroll.in hash speek has dropped from 2000+MSH to 700 in the last 2 days. what is going on?

Litecoin difficulty rose 30% this morning, so that could be somewhat related to the pool's drop in share rate.

Is your mining software claiming shares which are then rejected, or is it just not finding any shares?

I've noticed my mining fluctuates between finding a lot of shares, and finding no shares, at the moment, and the pool's website is often inaccessible (though the RPC requests seem to get through, on different addresses).  I wondered whether it's DOS-related.

at 650khs you should get getting approx 2000 or more shares for 8 hours. at difficulty 200

to get 100 shares on that same time frame from give-me-ltc is bs. do the math.

and notroll didn't award any shares when cgminer specifically reported that shares were accepted.

give-me-lt us using PPLNS so it would take many rounds to get real maximum payout.

Litecoin is currently quite popular so many pools are overloaded or under DDoS.
