120 Confirmations. Just mined a block and looked at it.
hey whats your difficulty at? mine is showing 526K!! or is that cgminer difficulty? Yes, it's 526K. That's correct. I was running it on my laptop and it was showing 8 lol. Isn't that higher than litecoin and feathercoin? Wait, you're geting 5500 Kh/s on a laptop? Are you on a network with separate miners? no my laptop gets 200kh/sec my desktops get 5500 kh/sec, on my laptop when I mine it shows 8k difficulty on desktops it shows 526K which is the real difficulty? 5500kh/sec will give you a block each 0 day(s), 1 hour(s), 44 min, 25 sec http://cnc.strament.com/calculator.phpFor litecoin, the shares are 65536 times smaller than bitcoin, therefore difficulty is reported wrong in cgminer. To get the correct one, take the number show in cgminer and divide it by 65536. thanks for the calculator

the only thing that confuses me is if network difficulty is 8 why does it show 526k in cgminer. On my laptop on the other hand it shows 8k the proper difficulty

I have explained you already. Shares of difficulty 1 in Litecoin are 65536 times smaller than the BTC ones. Therefore, cgminer reports it wrong. To get the right one, take 526k, and divide it by 65536 Result = 8.026123046875 On your laptop, it might be that something is wrong, or that is the share difficulty.

so what happens if I restart my miner in the middle of mining a block? will I lose it? or when it reconnects everything will pick up where it left off?

I'm not far too sure. Blocks are not guarranteed when solo'd, meaning there is always a very high chance of well, not getting anything. Personal advice is to go to a pool. You'll get almost same amount of coin/day.

Last night while I was working on my blockchain stats I got to calculations that difficulty would rise to 33. All of the pools got DDOS-ed, I think because of very high hash rate, so they wanted difficulty to drop. At the end, the difficulty rise up just to 8. It seems unlogical, however to DDOS them now. As you can see on my site, difficulty will increase in 4 and somewhat days. We need DDOS protected pools...

It's just with pools you will make coins more consistently instead of blocks of 88 coins every 4 days for example.

You can have 2000KH/s, and be that unlucky that you get no blocks in days.

And with the current pools being ddos'd doesn't make much sense.
