Yeah. Over 1 gh/s now. There are many theories. I'm willing to bet it's just a sub-pool of people, or maybe a game dev studio. Some believe it's a sign of the scrypt ASICs.

With those ping times, I'd definitely move one to useast and one to eu and start testing.  My times to eu are 3x that of the us servers, so I've never bothered.

well somewhere along the line, useast dropped from 100 ms to 10 ms latency.

pointed 1 rig @ useast and 1 rig @ eu.  will report back in a few days on my findings

minor update: eu is reporting 200-300 less WU after running for about an hour.  previously, uswest was a consistent 1.3.  so, for me eu is definitely no good. moving both over to us east asap

minor update2: anyone else with 2 mining rigs @ the same server observe that sometimes the cgminers don't have the same difficulty???  Sometimes, i see one of my miners takes a few minutes to get the network difficulty change.  So much infact, that i just saw one of my rigs not get the network diff change at all.  It went something like 488->11->11->10 while the other one happily sat at 488 and both were getting accepted shares at the different difficulties    other times they both get the diff change within seconds.  it just seems kind of odd

payouts really bad today but not matter hope everything will be okey.

Honestly, the way it grows it doesn't make sense. What I'm thinking is that another pool is actually just a proxy for middlecoin. As the pool grows, it becomes larger, but gradually, and without big sudden changes because it's just a lot of smaller members joining. It would also explain the bumps in the history. They are HUGE if it was one persons setup, at one point half the hash power is gone. However, it makes sense if they lose a server link or type a line of code wrong...

Just a guess.

Yesterday .035, today .017   Tonight, stuck at .005 even after it starts refreshing.... Not super happy.

if theyre testing a bunch of chips it would make sense that they might be changing the clockspeeds/monitoring cooling and looking at all sorts of metrics, as well as possibly testing drivers and programs because the other asics came online with cgminer supporting them... that wont be the case for scrypt asic

It's bloody ASICs in china guys...  Do your research.

Might want to quote someone else, I was making that point as well

everyone is assuming they are using gridseed chips

who know's what is really going on.  I thought i read previously that they had a farm of 3x290 rigs, so whatever.

just lots of speculation all around

Much coin switch.

Find the algorithm manipulators and deal with them!

Maybe that huge user is another pool- what size of the LTC hashrate is it?

Maybe it's a chinese front for middlecoin that someone setup or maybe one of the LTC pools is getting it's users to mine alts and keeping the difference between BTC from alts and LTC they would have earned.

Wait scratch that second idea

[webbson]

Yeah, really bad payout today.
And neither the balance nor the unexchanged grew very much during the time the stats where down.

Shares are now coming at a diff of 1024  

My reject rate suddenly also went up from 0.0x MH/s to 0.8 MH/s (out of 7.5 total)

[pitobread]

I have 3.6 Mh on 2 miners, my screens are filled with:

Stratum found new block
Difficulty set to xxx
Stratum found new block
Difficulty set to xxx

Makes for some pretty low W/U

Greater difficulty means fewer, but LARGER blocks.

[SimonG]

How can people actually stay here at middlecrash? Chinese dude is already at 1200 MH/s and he's stealing your profits by not allowing you to mine the most profitable coins.

[Chello]

And you steal my time:P Time to ignore you.

I wonder what you stll want here, isnt it you that moved long ago to a diff pool and asked for some BTC for an invite ? - lol

cu and have fun at this pool

Just about top guy..

"......which, by the way, is now running on 45000+ computers......"

CGWatcher is a tool to keep cgminer run. It has [donation mining] option in the config. You can turn it completely off, but default value is 0.5%. Probably, you will never look there and amend it.

So, it simply can be those "donation mining" hashes. It is only 25 Kh from each of 45000 PCs..
