Also, if you read thru the posts here after the 2nd link above, you'll see you're not the only one who came across this.  A few others have stated they were getting stales and didn't realize it until they came here.  They lowered their intensity, and the stales decreased.

I'm using a bunch of 280x at I=13 with an overall stale/reject rate of 0.74%.  Averaging about 720kh/s per card, some higher, some lower depending on brand.

Well, I can lower my intensity to 19 and get a hash rate that is about 13kh/s less.  I'll test it and see if the improvement in rejects is worth it.  Thanks for the info.  I may just have to live with the rejects if this doesn't work out.

As stated many times in this thread:  The stale rates will be higher on ScryptGuild because I don't care how ugly your reject rates are, I care how much profit is in a coin.  The pool applies penalties of 5-25% on coins with low difficulties in order to compensate for the expected stale rates when mining those coins.  If that coin is more profitable after the penalty, your stale rate will be higher but you will make more money in the end.  The pool is *over compensating* for expected stale rates on the average miner configuration [high intensity].

I'm getting occasional server offline messages from CloudFlare when connecting to the web site on HTTPS.  Usually happens when attempting to log in.  Error comes up when trying to retrieve the index page.  I can manually go to http://www.scryptguild.com/index.php and it will load.  Then I can switch back to HTTPS.  I just hope my login credentials haven't just been broadcast on unencrypted packets.

FYI, my Windows only MPoolMonitor now has support for ScryptGuild.

Cloudflare has been causing some major issues for the website recently, especially for users (and myself) who are connecting from the west coast (US).  I'm likely dropping their service soon.  ScryptGuild had a few delays this week with some changes at BTC Guild that required the majority of my attention.

I know Lottocoin has had a delay in payouts recently, due to a user with a very high balance enabling auto payouts instead of auto convert, but the pool didn't have enough in the local lottocoind to make the payout.  This should be resolved in a few hours.  I'm going through the coins today and adjusting how much it holds locally and how much it pre-loads onto the exchange for conversion.

Is that causing the 0.0025 BTC/MH/day I got in the last 36 hours?

That is so cool.
I did not even know about it.
Thanks

Thanks.  I just added ScryptGuild support.

when will scryptguild be on poolpicker.eu for comparison with other multipools?

Is it only me or profitability was really low for last ~24 hours? Pointing 15MH to it, got around 0.06 BTC.

For some reason profitability on junk coins keeps declining.

We need more coins!

Without registering on the site, where can I see the supported coins by this pool?

I had a feeling this would happen with the 1.6 dogecoin change.  It looks like ~80-90% of our time is now spent on DOGE, hopping to other coins only briefly when they either have a good block reward (MEOW/LOT), or have a difficulty drop for the KGW coins, or DOGE has a diff spike and we move off it til the next drop.

The profitability of multipools is really starting to suffer as more hash rate is being directed at them.  I'm looking to add 3 coins this week, but after that there will be a pause in new coins while I re-evaluate the pool profitability more.  I'm seeing a pretty grim future for profit switching pools given how fast coins are tanking in profitability.

ASIC's have really been hammering them all for sure.
The only alt coin benefiting is Litecoin.  It has made a steady rise in value for the last week or so from a low of $14 to over $19 as of today.

couldn't find it anywhere on the site but can somebody please tell me if we are paid out automatically (like once a week) if we have a balance below 0.01?  Thanks in advance

Pool working ok for everyone?

My hash rate just dropped by like 70% and all my miners are working just fine

[ManeBjorn]

My hashrate is fine.
Was it a blip and come back yet?

I shut it all down cold and restarted and its fine, but you would have never known it looking at it happily hashing along

Well now I am getting a lot of Low difficulty shares.
