A note for our fastest miner 300+GH at time of writing
When you increased you speed recently from 100 Gh/s to 300+Gh/s, your reject rate increased dramatically. I do not know if you are using rented hash or own equipment.
The 99% of rejects are due to share above target errors. In my opinion this is because of  rented hash dropping and reestablishing connections too frequently. Some rejects  are normal though.
When mining solo the only thing that matters is a share solving a block which will be accepted for sure  
The above rejects are not DECREASING your chance of finding a block and are HARMLESS
Pool stats are looking ugly, but it does not matter for me as long as i know the reason. Please contact me via PM if you want to discuss it.
Thanks

Info about LTC Price index. As you know BTC-E has been having hard times recently. So Price index died also. I will wait i week or two to see if it will recover. That will not happen  most probably. So i am gonna implement other LTC price source.

Update:
I want to share some info about couple stale LTC Blocks found lately

[2017-07-30 12:00:04.852] Possible LTC block solve diff 25823388459.596317 > 25805017447.881905(25830848296.178082)!
[2017-07-30 12:00:04.854] SUBMIT LTC BLOCK RETURNED: high-hash

and

[2017-08-01 15:40:41.565] Possible LTC block solve diff 28688071358.062317 > 28666450307.025860(28695145452.478336)!
[2017-08-01 15:40:41.567] SUBMIT LTC BLOCK RETURNED: high-hash


By design, to avoid rounding errors pool submits a share as block solve when this share diff > 0.99% of Network diff just in case to avoid loosing a block due to possible math rounding errors.
That is what actually happened - Our last couple of STALE LTC blocks were not meeting actual network difficulty because of 0.99% safety rule. They were so close though.
When they were submitted, LTC deamon returned high hash as expected and they showed in pool stats as stale.

All is good and our LTC demons are well connected. And our luck rocks lately
Pool stats has it all and speaks instead of me.

Guy's,

A quick note about MutliSig addresses pool support
MutliSig addresses starting with 3 are properly supported.
Addresses beginning with “M” are not supported

So as a rule of thumb the best option is to use L-addresses - Legacy Litecoin accounts for user name.

Dear kxxxl.dxxxxk@email.xx,

Although your LTC LNvhGfGFSGC1rUpBn3YZfAK82UUvZUzaTt address is valid, pool does not like it. According too pool logs it was OK at first, then you decided to remove your worker and you have added mail notification. I am positive that there is an extra space (or something else left at the end of LTC address).
In any case if you hit LTC  block you will be notified via e-mail. Your coins will be credited to pool wallet instead going directly to you. I will process your payout manually after verifying your mail address by sending you a simple message. I suggest you to FIX/Change your LTC address if you can. Go and  check pool users stats page. If your address is good it should NOT be red and it should be truncated as other ones are. If you are not able to do it, please check your mail regularly. You will be notified if you happen to hit LTC block and let me know here or via PM so i can send your coins immediately

Hi, can you explain how to mine with this pool using Antminer L3 ?

[loshia]

Hi, can you explain how to mine with this pool using Antminer L3 ?

Hi,
It is simple. In general as minimum you need to set your username to your LTC address. Pool home page http://ltc.tbdice.org has detailed explanation. I can give you a hand with setup in case you need it. Please PM me for details

I got a best share higher than the difficulty, was I supposed to find a block? Here is a screenshot, https://imgur.com/a/zNnTc this was at block 1295267, thank you for your help.

Hi,
You got a PM with details.
In general short answer is NO unfortunately.
In order to solve a block your best share should be > than Net Diff
As we speak it means > 919573 for LTC and > 326211 for DOGE
Please let me know here or via PM in case something is not clarified

If I want to get set up on this pool i should do the following on my L3+ antminers?

Server: Put the stratum address for pool server
User name: LTCaddress.workernumber
Password: mypassword:DASHaddress

That is all?

If your pool is anonymous then what would I put in for a password before my dash address? Do I just put x as I see in your examples?

Please forgive my newbness

Hi,

Please clarify what do you mean by dash address? Do you wanna merge mine DOGE coins? Is 'dash address' = 'DOGE address'?
Password is something never used in my pool. We use it just to hack stratum protocol and you to be able tell the pool if you want to MM Doge coins. So if you do not want DOGES you can put anything inside password. Let us presume your password is: secret (or anything it does not matter as long as it DOES NOT CONTAIN :)
If you want to MM  DOGE your password should be secret:DOGE_ADDRESS_TO GET_PAYOUTS : is used as delimiter
Does the above makes sense and answers your question?

[pantalyra]

Yes I meant doge so sorry
Yes I want to MM Doge

So I can put whatever I want for the password because it does not matter. So I can put Poop:DOGEaddress and I am good to go right?

Yes
You are good to go. Make sure you check users stat page and confirm that your LTC address is not in RED colour and under DOGE it says self.
Let me know how it goes and if there are any issues.
