It's fine to receive 2-3 of those messages within a few seconds. You should start worrying if you receive more than, say, 10 in one minute.

If by "a ton" you mean a few times per minute then it's perfectly normal, see the FAQ.

Since I cannot reproduce the issue you describe, you should send an email to support providing your username so that we can investigate.

Not to me. Looking at the logs it seems everything has been stable over the last 24 hours.

If the pool reports a speed of zero it means that your miner is not submitting shares. This can happen for a variety of reasons, ranging from hardware failure to software misconfiguration. Since there are many possible causes, it is hard to debug this issue without further insight. You should try to look for error messages, but unfortunately many ASIC interfaces are not very helpful in this regard.
Some of the most common problems are:

• A bad or insufficient power supply.
• A badly configured server URL (especially in the case of Antminers, as Bitmain's software requires one to omit the "stratum+tcp://" protocol prefix).
• Wrong worker credentials. You must use the username and password of one of your workers, not of your account. Worker usernames are composed of two parts separated by a dot, the first part being your account username. Both usernames and passwords are case-sensitive!

If you want you can have the account deleted by sending an email to support.

No, that is not allowed. Feel free to register a new account with a different username though.

It is true. See this FAQ entry.

I don't see why not. Our Stratum implementation is fully standards-compliant.

You can remove it, this pool has no need for the extranonce.subscribe extension.

The website has been under DDoS attack since Saturday. The attack is being mitigated, but of course there can be false positives etc., so if you have trouble accessing the website, send an email to support with your IP (or PM me on IRC) and we'll look into it. By the way, remember that the website is also accessible as a Tor service at ltcpool5brio2gaj.onion.

I would argue that "Low difficulty" is bad terminology, but I suppose what they mean is that the hash is greater than the target (i.e. it's a target miss). And that is expected, if the miner is looking for solutions that meet the target for a different hashing algorithm.

That's expected, algorithms are not interchangeable.



That must be the server disconnecting you after a few minutes of inactivity. Most servers disconnect clients that do not submit shares frequently enough. You're probably not finding many shares because you're extremely slow relative to the difficulty that the server sets, and the difficulty is set so high because the server is not expecting anyone to mine with a CPU nowadays.

The website downtime (which was about 14 to 10 hours ago) was due to an issue with the server handling website services, not to DDoS. Said issue only affected website services, and is unrelated to the DDoS attack of July 18.
By the way, "Is it down" is designed to check the status of websites, so you can't use it to check the status of mining servers, since Stratum does not run over HTTP.

Are you sure the problem wasn't with your connection? The logs say that globally the hash rate was stable all along, and I've had multiple users confirm that their mining was completely unaffected while the website was down.
Unless you're talking about the DDoS attack of two days ago, when some of the mining servers were indeed down for 15 to 30 minutes (which is why one should always have multiple failover servers configured).

Sorry for the inconvenience, the website experienced some issues in the last couple hours. As far as I can tell, the mining servers were unaffected. Everything should be back to normal now.

Since about 5:45 UTC today the pool's website and mining servers have been under DDoS attack. We are currently working to mitigate this.
As usual, all you need to make sure of is that your miners' shares are being accepted. All accepted shares will be counted, just as normal.

Litecoinpool.org is a PPS pool. If you want to mine solo you don't need a pool, all you need is a full Litecoin node. By the way, at the current difficulty I wouldn't recommend solo mining unless you have at least a few GH/s.

Based on user feedback, Bitmain's software doesn't seem to support it.
