Is it normal to have this many orphaned blocks?

That's just what I was thinking. I hope it is just a spell of bad luck and not something more serious.

From observing the last 50 block list over the past few days it seems to be close or over 10%.
Seems rather high to me.

Took a look at DogeHouse's stats, they seem to be below 2% orphans. Both on "all time" and "last 5 days" stats.

[adud]

Profit per day is closer to 140% in the last 24 hours (compared to mining ltc) instead of advertised 181% (at the moment).
Maybe orphans are counted in the add?

As a follow up I got my payout. I had a hunch that because i was on 5000 on the dot, it may not be kicking in the auto payment. I set to the pool till I got a couple more coins and the auto payout kicked in. Just a FYI if this happens to someone else.

I find that the web server's time is incorrect

Right now it's 11:12 PM EST (4:12 AM UTC), but the website says:

Stats last updated:
5:10:10 AM EST

You may want to fix that.

How often do you exchange coins into LTC?

[Therion]

Why does it take so long to transfer the LTC to the user after the autopayment system says that it sent them ( I'm talking about <5 hours)

[SimpleBooty]

Couple Questions I have:

1) When do payouts occur?
2) In the top right it says "Estimated Per Payout", Is that in Litecoin or is that in the current coin that its mining (Dogecoin atm)?

Thanks to anyone that can help.

OP should be answering questions in this thread but since he isn't, I'll have a go:

1) When do payouts occur?

I've been waiting on my first payout for a couple (6+) hours.

2) In the top right it says "Estimated Per Payout", Is that in Litecoin or is that in the current coin that its mining (Dogecoin atm)?

It is in the current coin being mined.

Thank you for the help!

Anyone know an exact time for payouts?

[netvope]

1) When do payouts occur?

Here is the timeline of my first payout (1/28, UTC)
14:22 Auto-withdrawal limit reached
17:09 Withdrawal initiated
19:32 Transaction included in the blockchain

If only you would add a daily LTC/Mh calcuator

yeah i'm wondering the same thing myself. auto payout 5.2 ltc initiated about 6 hours ago but still no sign of it on the blockchain

I started mining here 27 hours ago. Taking the balance accumulated in the last 24 hours, the profit is very close to what I would have got if I mined LTC directly. In contrast, the site advertised ~168% profit. I'll move on to another pool.

I'm feeling the same way. It's a shame as I was happy.

[seattletu]

with the problems with cryptsy, will the pool ever consider selling on another exchange?

+1. Have been mining on three pools for a few days for comparison (polmine, teamdodge and switchercoin - all DOGE) and have to say my earnings on switchercoin are consistently ~30+% less than on other pools. I do understand that luck does play a part, but with dogecoin's block generation you shouldn't need weeks for the luck factor to more or less level out. Just a word of caution to everyone looking for the 'daddy of all multipools'...

Don't think I'll be coming back before there's more transparency eg. a way to chceck previous rounds' stats like on teamdodge.

[rigero]

This pool is having a big problem with orphans. It is the biggest problem of this pool. Everything look ok except this problem.

[valterixxx]

Sorry to ask, but I put Automatic Payout 10 ltc and so far nothing ... already passed 6 hrs is normal? that the average waiting time?

Thx

[seattletu]

how do i see how many orphans the pool is getting?

[davidcie]

As it's now mining DOGE, go to the DOGE stats page and scroll down to the "LAST 50 BLOCKS FOUND" section. The validity column will show 'Orphan' for the orphaned blocks. You can't really see very far back (again, transparency is one of this pool's problems IMO), but at one point a few days ago it was like 4 orphaned out of 10 found blocks!

Crazy, and wonder if there's a way of double checking the validity of this information. Eg. is it possible to claim a block orphaned while in fact it was not?

that's interesting, i wonder if the pool operator can chime in and talk about that. my gut instinct is that the orphans are probably just random and legit and we have just had some bad luck, but i'm interested in other's opinions on the matter.
