[ANN] The First Litecoin PPS Pool (litecoinpool.org)

[pooler]

I'm still seeing a high number of stales from both cpuminer (using stratum proxy on LAN) and cgminer (latest 2.11.3 using stratum and --no-submit-stale) from multiple locations. My cpuminers using the stratum proxy are between ~3.5-0.8% stales and my instances of cgminer are seeing ~1.8% stale according to the "My Account" statistics.

Are these the expected stale percentages for stratum? They still seem a bit high.

Well, all I can say is that pool-wise stratum users average a much lower stalerate, normally under 1%.
Also keep in mind that the "My Account" statistics take into account all the shares you submitted since the workers were created, unless you reset them.

I thought I seen something for failback pool for stratum proxy, or is this in my mind?

How would I set up stratum proxy to fallback to a secondary pool if primary pool goes down?

As far as I know the proxy itself doesn't support failover. If you were using a failover script for cpuminer I think you can keep using that, you just need to replace litecoinpool.org:9332 with yourlocaladdress:8332.

Yeah, I reset them this morning because I started to suspect higher than average stales.

Currently all my miners are around 1.5% stale. This doesn't seem much lower from when I was using getwork, but it might be because the pool is under more load?

Are there any server issues now? Mining has stopped now.

And price of LTC is going over the roof. 
It looks that somebody started pushing in serious money. I wonder if it is good for us or bad. 

[wndrbr3d]

Looks like we're back!  

EDIT: And difficulty was just bumped up from 16 to 32

[wndrbr3d]

I'm getting bad stales. 4.58%. Usually it was under 1%.

I'm seeing 0.9% on cgminer+stratum clients and 1.9% on cpuminer+stratum proxy clients.

If your machine is really slow and the stratum proxy is competing for CPU cycles with the litecoin miner, that could probably lead to higher stales.

When my new PC comes I can make some money now (or at least pay for the power) 
$4.32 (time of writing)  Someone is messing with the market here!!  From $0.66 (or less) last week to $4.32 what! 
Something is fishy here.  If it staying close to this figure or increases litecoin miners can make some money! Yay

[Turok]

do you have some issues again? my workers can't connect. Also the number of users dropped from 1k to 430.

[svennand]

Same problem. not able to connect.

EDIT
Still not able to connect, even tho the users connected have got up again?

Anyone else having issues?

NEVERMIND
been changing the config for cgminer to much... forgot that it required username.worker (tried solo a bit and removed username.)

Regarding adaptive difficulty: Is it calculated on worker or user basis?

Worker.
Because of how the Stratum protocol works, however, difficulty can only be set per connection, so if you use the proxy all the workers connecting through it will share the same share target/difficulty. Currently the behavior of the pool is to adapt the difficulty to the fastest worker connecting through the proxy.

[wndrbr3d]

Currently only seeing ~1% stale using stratum and ~2.5% stale using getwork. Things seem to be smoothing out.

Check your settings. Usually a shit ton of invalids are caused by your intensity being set too high.
