I'm on us and my current difficulty is 290 so probably it's still active

I checked the Pool Stats and this got my attention, is the difficulty set right?:

SERVER STATS
Pool Hash Rate   267.908 Mhash/s
Pool Difficulty   64
Current Users Mining   324
Current Total Miners   579
Next Network Block   335,043    (Current: 335,042)
Current Difficulty   323.2741777

I think it's being manipulated by some people with high resources, be careful about buying/selling until we find out what is going on.

I had to jump ships after my first 12hrs with kattare, was getting 30-40% stales, on the other pool it's 1%< so it's not a problem with the cgminer config like I read in some posts above.

I hope this pool is fixed soon, I don't like the main pools like coinotron because they are absolute rip-off and the only other one that I like ltc.kattare.com sucks because I get like 36% stale.

I'm out as well, mining on coinotron and I'll check back in 10 hours

Yea the page is not updating but my guiminer still reports shares being accepted (last one 10 seconds ago). Hopefuly they are working on it and it will be fixed soon because I won't be able to check my mining rig until tomorrow morning.

I think OP is underestimating the power consumption.

I have a rig with a HD 7950 doing 561kh/s (i5 cpu but it's idle most of the time) and my Kill-A-Watt shows 398W-402W

I have the same question, on block 334571 I was credited about 10% of what I was expecting I received 0.0073 while I normaly get 0.07 - 0.085

On the block 334612 only 0.00335294 LTC

And the last block 334634 is still not confirmed but the estimated payment is 0.00281217

Please check it admin, this pool is great so far.

It took me 5 hours to find the newbies subforum 

LOL why would they take bitcoins if bribes are always paid in cash.

For some of us mining is the only way to get into trading, it's incredibly difficult to get your dollars into trading markets like BTC or mtgox

You are getting "paid" for your computing resources and the electricity, also it's a gamble... coins can be worthless like any other fiat currency if somethings goes really wrong.

Yea pretty much this
