I see it at all resolutions on both my laptop, home computer, and work computer.

Yes.  But in a couple of weeks the problem will go away when the site closes.

FYI, CSC are still piling-up and don't convert.

Confirm the same issue.

Whose data are you using to decide which coin to mine?

Don't understand why you are touching DOGE with the reward being reduced to 12500

Hope you arent using COinchoose API as their site is so in accurate

The difficulty dropped sharply after the reward was reduced, because multipools wouldn't touch it til it dropped lower.  The halving had very little effect on profitability, though that is why we've been hitting LTC more often (less time spent on DOGE because the diff goes up fast once it drops low enough for multipools to hit it).

"Still" piling up is not a good term for this, considering they stopped piling up and were sold the last time it was reported.   CSC requires manual cryptsy refilling because of how many coins we have that can't be sent until they have more confirmations.

Loving the scryptguild, at one point my 1gh of scrypt was earning me almost double what 20gh/s of SHA256 was earning me
Great work

[eleuthria]

Current expectation is BTC Guild's scrypt mining will be starting next Friday.  So the timeline I posted previously is still roughly accurate.  An update will be posted here and on the website once the BTC Guild scrypt pool is up and running.

Great thanks for the explanation!

The difficulty dropped sharply after the reward was reduced, because multipools wouldn't touch it til it dropped lower.  The halving had very little effect on profitability, though that is why we've been hitting LTC more often (less time spent on DOGE because the diff goes up fast once it drops low enough for multipools to hit it).

No problem.  It's something very common with coins who have abstract reward days or frequent halvings.  Since people aren't locked into mining a specific coin with their hardware, they'll simply mine something else after a reward change.  Eventually the difficulty will end up being (roughly) half of what it would have been previously.  A good example of this is Earthcoin, which has 2x and 5x reward periods.  During this time, the difficulty basically increases to 2x or 5x what it normally is, so for profitability it is virtually the same as any other day.

It's not an exact halving of difficulty since Doge has a decent number of loyal miners, but with multipools being such a huge part of the average DOGE hashing rate, the difficulty still dropped significantly so that it's still worth mining as a multipool, just not for quite as long as it normally would be.

How much BTC/MHs per day is it on scryptguild?

[humorme201]

Question: will the new BTC Scrypt site multi-mine or just do DOGE and LTC?  Will it operate the same way that ScryptGuild is operating right now?

thank you,

[STT]

Its been said Doge and LTC only for simplicity and no auto conversion if I remember right.   But cryptsy will change them to btc on deposit if need be, I usually keep my LTC if market is in a lull

At least at first it will be DOGE and LTC only, but you will be able to run auto-switch between those two.  There's a chance another scrypt coin gets added, but for now those are the only two planned.  They're simply the only ones that are worth mining the majority of the time.

What's happening?  From round 2086 onwards I have had almost nothing except LOT shares, with just 64 DOGE, 112 MEOW, and 16 CSC for a little variety.  Mined blocks were zero for the pool in 2092 and hardly any better in the previous two rounds.  My approx BTC value went up just BTC0.00000001 in the last couple of hours.  

[edit] and zero pool blocks again for 2093 and 2094.  Shurely shome mishtake?

[BrandonMcPherson]

I am guessing it's an issue of hot wallets running dry, but that's a wild stab in the dark. If so, it should be corrected when Eleuthria is back in the land of the awake.

Not sure why we started paying so much attention to Lotto—spoke in value/lower difficulty?

That might affect payouts (and has done), but I cannot see that it would affect the actual mining process.

Wakey wakey, Michael!

Hey El,
     Just noticing that blocks are not being solved very quickly in the PPLNS page.  There haven't been any in the last few shifts.  Just wondering if there is something going on on your end since all my mining rigs seem to be hashing away.  Also, when we do the switch, are we pointing to www.btcguild.com:scryptport?  Just want to make sure I have everything ready for the crossover time.  Will I have to add workers on btcguild to account for the workers I have on scryptguild?

[usao]

I agree somthing odd is going on. There have been virtually no payouts in the past 6 hours.
Are there any DEV's on this list for scryptguild who can let us know what's happening?
I may want to switch pools if this keeps up, getting nowhere fast currently.
