Is there any news on what the update will include?

AFAICT, the change most likely to reduce multipool mining profits is in how retargeting difficulty changes occurs, and the fact that they are getting rid of the 'random' block rewards and making them constant.

That is cool.
With Cex looking to getting into mining scrypt too it is well timed.

I'm really glad I joined in on the ALPHA test. Anything coming our way for early adopters?

Have you considered adding Quark to the list of coins?

[dhsc19]

Any chance we can have the total combined workers hashrates graphed as well?

[conspirosphere.tk]

I'd like the option to convert gains in LTC too.

For those windows users who haven't tried sgminer yet...

I took the time to pull down the code and dependencies and build it in Visual Studio 2010.  You can get the 32-bit version here:

www.mdude.org/sgminer_4.1.0_x86.zip

Code:

  File: sgminer_4.1.0_x86.zip
CRC-32: e1ae5c11
   MD4: 7f0e7ff9a32674d38e580e00945d3d77
   MD5: 845f8ad942ae278bf59c799164eb4c0a
 SHA-1: c146a4596fee1dc1b77c7e04a8a4eeeac2d86b62

My experiences with it so far:

- It seems to be a little bit faster out of the box than cgminer 3.7.2 with no tweaks. 
- It works properly with Slush's stratum proxy, so I have all my rigs going through the proxy now to save on bandwidth.
- I love how it shows the true difficulty of the coin we are in, instead of the odd number cgminer showed.

I have 30 Gridseed Miners running on BFGminer producing 10Mh that appears to be sending to SG yet the pool is reporting 5.5Mh

It could be a million things so I am going to play with cgminer and CPU miner this weekend.

I also have 30 Gridseed miners running (850mhz) with cpuminer and it shows 9.5-10Mh at the pool. This does not look like a pool related issue.

Yes I am going to do cpuminer this weekend.

Seems like bfgminer is probably the issue.

Any tips?
Command lines to share?

Tried CPUminer, problem solved.

Have to run 50 batch files but at least I get the expected hash rate

I tried mining here but my rejects have just been creeping up to the point where it is not worth it.  Started at an already high ~5% for the first few days, almost 8% now.  Was getting ~2% on Wafflepool.  Add the lower Waffle fees in there and I don't think the profitability is higher enough (or really at all) on this pool to make up for that.

Also tried sgminer like someone here recommended but I got the same reject % with less kh.  Guess it's not the savior of mining programs like they made it out to be.

But wafflepool doesn't let you keep any coins right? At least for Doge and LTC, I wouldn't want to sell them now.

eleuthria, i stopped autoconvert for DOGE 2 says back (set Coin Reserve to 99999), had is gather for a bit then send it out to my wallet

then i disabled it and waited for coins to appear in the balance, however, zero are there and zero were exchanged
enabled it again (set to 99999), coins (DOGE) still don't show up

bug?

LE: now they are gathering up again, but i think some are missing, can you check ?

High stale rates usually means your intensity is set too high.

It appears that GHash.io are offering 200% payout for LTC mining for the next week.
Would it make sense to have ScryptGuild be able to proxy to GHash when that is the most profitable option?
Apparently you can't withdraw for 48 hours after the account is first opened.

Something of a bait-and-switch, as it turns out:

To prevent getting 51% of the Litecoin network, the reward multiplier will be adjusted according to the pool speed. Current multiplier: x1.25.

Pool Speed   Reward multiplier
0 – 40 GH/s   x2
40 – 60 GH/s   x1.25
60+ GH/s   x1

I don't understand how that's an intensity problem when it is fine on other pools, though.  These are R9 290 cards and they are running at I20 like everyone else runs them at.

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.
