Love the pool, stales are slightly high but they are even worse on notroll + their fee is higher.

May I ask, what is the withdraw fee?

No, there is no connection between shares difficulty and the pool rate. Difficulty targeted to 6 shares per minute and recalculated every 600 seconds. If you solve more/less than 6 shares per minute, difficulty will grow/fall dynamically.

P.S. We prefer upgrading our hardware instead of difficulty increasing.

Balthazar, mining at 1260kh/s with two 7970s I frequently get a difficulty above 500. Isn't it a bit too much? I personally would like better something around 200 (300 at most) as for now. Or a value a bit quicker (I feel like it's very quick to climb up, but very slow to fall down).

Let me explain myself: of course even a difficulty of 2000 wouldn't be a real issue - and, some months ago, I used to BTCmine at 999-difficulty with a mining power of just about 1350Mh/s, so... go figure

))
I'm just curious about it: do you need to force so high difficulties to keep the traffic low? As the pool is growing, will they grow as well?

Thanks.

Not yet, but I will merge this code from pool.itzod.ru soon. Also minimum payout will be increased, because btc-e ignores transactions with volume less than 0.1 LTC.

Is it possible to set up automatic payouts with ltcmine.ru?

Not yet. It was planned to implement after migration to new hardware, but we had not enough time for that at last week. Sad

I'll move pool to new hardware at this week, if there will be no another problems.

P.S. Anyway, I think that PPS 3.3% better than RBPPS 2.5%, because of orphans... Roll Eyes

Was the pool ever updated with lower fees? Still mining here but may eventually move to coinotron for lower RBPPS.

Somethings seriously wrong...

Seems to only be counting stale shares, and then on top of that rejecting them

POCLBM is the "Python OpenCL Bitcoin Miner". It has no support for scrypt mining.

CGMiner tells me that I'm averaging near 1 MH/s, but the pool only sees that I'm going ~25 KH/s. Here's the CGMiner command I use to start up.

cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://ltcmine.ru:3333 -u UserName_WorkerName -p Password -I 13 -g 2

See those high HW figures? You are incurring in lots of hardware errors.

Thank you! I'm closing in on getting everything working right.

Thank you for your feedback, we are already investigating this issue. Roll Eyes

It seems that we possible have non-deterministic compatibility problem with new versions of cg/bfgminer. Undecided

More info will be available later.

I'm having this problem on other pools too.

What version of CGMiner would you recommend for now?

Can anybody give me advice on this? I've been into BTC mining for over a year, but I'm fairly new to LTC mining. ANY insight will be helpful.

You should use "-pa scrypt" parameter.

Thanks for your answer, but tried that. miner_proxy doing well, but reaper.exe just instantly closing on execution in this case.
Here is .bat i using for miner_scrypt.exe:

Code:

start mining_proxy.exe -pa scrypt -o coinotron.com -p 3334

and reaper confs again:

reaper.conf

Code:

kernel reaper.cl
save_binaries yes
enable_graceful_shutdown no
long_polling yes
platform 0
device 0

mine litecoin

litecoin.conf

Code:

host 127.0.0.1
port 8332
user user
pass pass

worksize 256
vectors 1
aggression 20
threads_per_gpu 1
sharethreads 16
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 16385

I'm using stratum and reaper, which i get here http://ltcmine.ru/faq
