Nice touch for the hardware pooler Wink

I've lowered the Intensivity

Quote

2013-07-10 647 kH/s 503,488 2,688 (0.53%) 0 (0.00%) 0.421893741696 LTC

but I have changed too the pool server from nl2 to stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:3333/
I assume .org redirect to random nl nl1 or nl2 server
How can I found the server I'm related ?

Thanks in advance for you help Cheesy

it was the question, what do I need to check on the conf Undecided

That depends on your software and GPU. It's hard to say what needs to be tweaked. As some like to say, fine-tuning scrypt GPU mining is an art, and experimentation is often the key to a successful setup.
I gave you a hint, though, when I mentioned intensity as a possible cause; generally speaking, anything that pushes the hardware too hard can cause latency.

ty I will try to play with the conf so
but I'm still disappointed because is only happening when a new block is detected

In my experience, stale shares can be caused by the following:

Network latency. This is the most obvious cause. If a share takes too much time to get to the server it can easily turn stale.
Block frequency. The more frequently the network is finding blocks, the more frequent the stales. This means that if the network difficulty is going up the stales will be higher.
Server inefficiency. If the server is slow at handling submissions, some shares will turn stale. A high load can of course cause slowdowns.
Software latency. Latency can also occur before the share leaves the miner, especially in the case of GPU mining. For example, if the intensity/aggressiveness parameter is set too high.

@dermo, in your case it seems that the first cause is not the problem, as your ping time to the server is low. The difficulty is currently rising but not dramatically, so I wouldn't consider cause #2 either. As regards cause #3, the average stale rate for the nl2 server is just 1%. The occurrence of stales is subject to probability, of course, but your 2% seems pretty high when compared to the average, so I would suggest that you check your miner's configuration.

hi,

I'm new on the pool and I have an issue with stale share

When a new block is detected I have 1 or 2 stale share not all the time but my ratio is going up since I'm mining on the pool

Ah, didn't know about the DDoS. That, combined with my spotty ISP, is probably what was attributing to my stale/invalid shares. Which resulted in some of my miners being banned. However, I am using Stratum.

How long does a temp ban last? I have to hook-up a monitor and mouse down every time to restart the miner. If the ban only lasts ten minutes or so, I won't bother going through the hassle knowing it will auto fix itself in a short span.

This type of ban only lasts 15 minutes.

Just got home and went to check my web account. One of my rigs is down, and two others are hardly hashing away. I just checked Cgminer on one of my rigs, and it says . What's going on?

The connection between your miner and the pool probably got unstable because of the ongoing DDoS. This can cause the miner to submit too many wrong solutions, which results in a temporary ban.
This is much more likely to happen if you are not using Stratum.

I did, its says at this domain? By sending an email to applications (at) (this domain).

That's just a measure to protect against automated email harvesters.
In case you can't figure it out, the address is:

DOH! on me..... email sent, thanks!

When will the registrations be open? Looking to point 8 7950s at a PPs LTC pool.

As I've said before, you can apply for an account via email. Please read the guidelines on the website.
By the way, the DDoS is still ongoing, but its effects are limited at the moment.

I create the account 2012-03-01 but i dont use much then if you want a place there i can share my account(only the time you get your own account), i give to you the worker/password and you give to me your LTC address.
