jaybee,

Basically the PandaCoin crash is not a "technical" crash... rather it's the coin itself "imploded" because the founders and developers starts to dump their premined coins and pointing fingers at each other.... Did some reading on their forum, it was pretty ugly....  Unfortunately for me, I am stuck on port 3385 until Monday because I am out on biz trip....  Kind of a "black humor" on myself watching the circus act on their forum while my mining rig faithfully and relentlessly mining the coin that basically has been declared dead....

To also address your issue with vertminer, If you have 700k on 270x and all HW error, very likely you forgot to change the "scrypt" to "nscrypt"...  you should look into the readme in vertminer.... When properly setup to n-scrypt, your 270x shouldn't output more than 300kh/s...  and you shouldn't worry, because it will apply to EVERYONE mining n-scrypt...

Back to Pandacoin....  despite the recent jaw-dropping development of events, kind of amazing that it's still maintaining the current "score" and not completely dead yet....  On the other hand, strange that VTC is in the same range score wise... Anybody with insights there?

Been having the same question... But I don't really understand what you mean by your conclusion (my apologies for my comprehension problem).

Does it mean that Panda coin today can output 5x profit comare to LTC, or it only output 2.5x due to hash-rate difference?

Like some previous poster mentioned, I am also getting around 8% to 9% reject according to cgminer.

My rig is around 3.5mh/s, and prior to joining TMB, I mined LTC exclusively, and was getting the 3.5 mh/s consistently.

Now, the mh/s indicator on the site hovers between 2.9mh/s and 3.3mh/s. (which i guess is not far off considering the reject rate...)

I am just wondering if this is simply the nature of currency-switching pool, or if it's related to the fact that I am connecting from asia (taiwan)?

or if there are other factors at play?

btw, I am using the recommended setup of having the main server as primary and the backup server as secondary.

Currently, even with the higher-than-expected reject situation, I am still getting about 10% more than mining LTC straight-up, according to the estimated BTC value indicator in the statics page. Just wondering if this is consistent with what most people here are getting, or if there are things I need to look into.

Thanks!!
