any reason why the total pool hash rate dropped suddenly?
The same reason the total network hash rate dropped suddenly, I guess. Probably just chain hoppers.

any reason why the total pool hash rate dropped suddenly?
Hi
Wonder if anyone can help me. Joined this pool today. i have ordered a rig which i should get in a few days. Can someone help me set it up with a miner. new to mining doing bit coin and set up through bit minter which was dead easy. Want to start LTC. I really do need an idiots guide how to config a cgminer.
Using a machine with 2 x R9 280X Been told good for 1500k/H
Thanks for the advice in advance

The home page of this very pool has a how-to guide.

is there any way to unlock my payment address once it has been locked?
In most cases it is possible, but you have to go through support. Please send an email to the address you will find at the bottom of the Help page.

One more question plz.
The pool now implement VAR DIFF automatically. While can one fix a DIFF for each of his worker, manually and seperately?(Like some BTC pools I've mined with.)
Since I got a new problem: Due to unstable network, some share lost -> DIFF goes lower -> network load heavier --> more share lost --> DIFF even lower.
I think for some guys with a unstable network(like me), income variability is not so important as network load.
Usually when people ask for the ability to manually set share difficulty it's because they don't understand the underlying math, and naively think it's intrinsically better to have a low or high share difficulty.The pool now implement VAR DIFF automatically.

I think for some guys with a unstable network(like me), income variability is not so important as network load.
I think this is the first time I hear a semi-valid justification for such a feature. However, if your network is that unstable, then you probably have much more serious problems (such as the amount of time you spend hashing stale data) than those caused by an unsuitably low share difficulty.
The problem arises from flow control of my network proxy --- too many share submissions result in proxy temporarily refusing.
I'm also mining in a higher DIFF pool(fixed, but higher, 64 v.s. 2 of litecoinpool.org), stale rate under 3%. (long pool too)
what is the average stale rate for you guys? my gpus (7950s') are all averaging around 1.2-1.3% stale rate and was wondering if it is a little high?
The pool average right now is 0.5%, with some users going as low as 0.03%.However, software latency is sometimes unavoidable when GPU mining, so a stale rate around 1% is usually considered acceptable for GPU systems. Please note that this kind of latency is not due to your network connection or to the pool, but to the miner itself.

would lowering the intensity or clock settings affect the stale rate? its weird because i recently build a new rig with 3x 280x and they are averaging only around 0.10%.

Network not behind proxy: 0.5% or lower.(Stratum)
Network behind proxy: 30% or so. (long poll)

Hi, Pooler, thanks for ur pool! It's wonderful. I played around from one year.
May I ask whether there is a port for long poll?
Because, my network banned stratum now.
Or if there is some relay methods?
I just can't connect stratum under current condition of my network.

The old getwork protocol, now deprecated, is still accessible at litecoinpool.org on port 9332. Be advised, however, that you will get a much higher stale rate if using getwork instead of Stratum.
Depending on how the ban is implemented, it may be possible to circumvent it by connecting through a SOCKS proxy located outside your network.
Great, It worked! Thank you.

You should change cuurency to go to doge?

thin, already taken!

Do you know if your network blocks stratum by port number (3333) or SPI?
First time I ever hear about this... as for gw ports, I think litecoinpool shut them down a couple of months ago.

I'm already a member of this pool, but shouldn't you open registration to anyone since WeMineLTC is getting to be a bit larger? WMLTC is at 25% while litecoinpool.org is only at 8.5%. Try to pull miners away from WMLTC so they don't get too large. WMLTC + Unknown% = 48% of the network.
As a matter of fact, new users are being accepted every day, and I often see new miners coming from the larger pools.That said, it's always been against my principles to actively try to "steal" users from other pools.
Personally I believe there is currently not enough awareness of this problem, and this can create a vicious circle: new miners tend to join the largest pool (because they naively think that bigger is better), which makes the pool even larger.
Mining should remain a decentralized effort. If you think a pool is getting too large, maybe you should direct your complaint to them, and try to raise awareness among miners about the dangers of centralization.

Yes, it's working fine again now, thank you
