Cryptsy deposits mostly went through, unexchanged balance is lowered and payouts were sent.
Underlying stratum server which I built the pool on was really crappy in storing shares in database and I rewrote this part. Vardiff was relying on this and I need to write my own vardiff engine if I want vardiff enabled. This is not difficult but I have more urgent tasks right now. I will lower difficulty to 256 as soon as I deploy a new server for the pool. I will work on vardiff next week. It will be either vardiff or selecting your own difficulty by using a password like “diff-256”. I haven't decided yet. The second option would be quicker to develop, but I don't want people hammering the pool with shares sent every five seconds just because they like when their cgminer output is scrolling faster.

I am not sure why people are so obsessed with vardiff. Changing the difficulty of submitted shares does nothing to find blocks faster or slower. I was fine at middlecoin with diffs of 1024. The pool doesn't get paid by shares, it gets paid by blocks. I just like the website here better.
Because we have one crappy card, and 516 is too hard for shares.
Because you have a crappy card the whole pool must change for you? are you serious? are you a spoiled child?
ohh and its 256/512/1024First, sir, insults won't get you anywhere, and I am not a spoiled child.
Second, you must take note that not everyone mines with huge rigs, although I am building one right now.
Also, that crappy attitude won't get you anywhere.

Do you have any plans to offer alternate payout currencies? I am thinking specifically Litecoin.
I might think about it once the post-launch dust settles.
Just like to say that I would second this bid for alternate payout (LTC). I haven't actually settled on a specific pool yet after mining several different ones, but if you could offer payouts in BTC and/or LTC, that would sway me heavily in favor of yours. Keep up the good work!

May I ask why vardiff cannot be turned on if you think you have fixed the problems?
February 11, 2014, 11:33:55 AM
You haven't mentioned fees in the last few pages, given that the payouts have been pretty poor recently, even compared to other multipools, and you said that this means you take a lower fee% can you reveal what fee % you've taken over the last 7days? (Assuming 1%).
The average fee was higher than 1% but lower than 3%. I am setting the fee at a fixed 2% from now on until further notice (until I have time to work on this progressive fee idea).
Just leave it there

I was meaning the btc/day per mh on the site, that I believed was the gross net for the day per mh, exchanged, unexchanged, everything.
I think variable fee is a good idea, if you either put a cap on it, and also after the day list the previous days fee for example (so on good days people can see you charged 4% as opposed to guessing). To check that the fee cut % syns up with profitability.

You can't compare payouts as different pools exchange their coins at different times. Coins mined in a day X can be paid out on X, X+1, X+2, X+n. Usually some coins are paid out in the same day that they were mined, some one day after, some two days after, occasionally delays are longer.
What you should compare are earnings on a given day including also unexchanged balances. And these weren't bad. We are sitting on a pile of unexchanged coins due to Cryptsy problems (other pools are suffering from this as well). Some coins are being exchanged without problems and are paid out quickly, but some are stuck between us and Cryptsy. Once these coins are exchanged, there will be a bigger payout as it will clear coins mined in the last days.
The average fee was higher than 1% but lower than 3%. I am setting the fee at a fixed 2% from now on until further notice (until I have time to work on this progressive fee idea).
I will update the website in the evening to reflect all recent changes (fixed fee, temporarily disabled vardiff, etc).

Nearly 12 hours later and my reject rates look to be averaging around 2.5%, which is perfectly acceptable to me. I have not turned on submitting stales unless you think it should be. Thank you again!

Some 33% of these deposits went through and they were already traded and paid out couple of hours ago.
The website might not work for everyone because of CloudFlare (well, they're supposed to make it available, not to make it down). but the pool is running fine. I'll disable CloudFlare if this will continue for much longer.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the respond. Was getting a bit worried. Just got a payout though so at least I know I have coins coming in. Looking forward to the day those coins get through cryptsy.

So I have run into the problem before with Cryptsy. I have determined that they are holding coins and putting higher conformation times on coins they want to. It seems they will put a higher conformation time on coins such as Doge to push the coin down and then release them into the market when they are not as profitable. This is why I no longer trade with them. This has also been reported by alot of other users. Also they put limits on how many coins you must have before you before you can trade. This seems to be a trait of Cryptsy. I would look at trading with another exchange.
Agreed. I have had this problem with Doge and Infinite coin on their exchange when I was pool mining and transferring large amount of coins from my wallet to my cryptsy. Their support line all but verified this was the case as well. Some BS about "keeping the market value and market amount fair and balanced" which really meant doing whatever they wanted. I do not trade there anymore.

High unexchanged balance is because of a problem at Cryptsy. They have deposit backlogs on some coins that we were mining and our deposits are not showing in their exchange yet. Probably their wallets are out of sync or stuck. People are reporting similar problems on their IRC channel. This has happened before, couple of times during the beta period, and once it's resolved, usually all deposits are credited at once. Unfortunately we have lot of deposits stuck this way. Cryptsy support is either not responding at all or responding with canned messages that don't help.
In the meantime we are proceeding with other coins so payouts are still ongoing for all coins that were successfully exchanged (http://www.clevermining.com/payouts).

Queue is actually "extra work items in queue", that's why when using 0, staged work (ST) is still at 1. It was useful back in the days before stratum, but since now work is locally generated (LW) at will by cgminer, it only serves as a hindrance on coin switches, although it shouldn't be happening.
Weirdly I tried setting my queue to 0 in my 50-50 config that load balances between Clever and Middle, and my rejects went up a lot to over 10%. I set it back to 3 where I had it previously and now rejects are back in the 2% range.
Interesting, although that's really strange, since it's just work queued locally. Try to see if you can replicate that again!
On my latest tests, I'm seeing no significant difference in changing queue values. Ping time to server and intensity seem much more correlated to rejects than anything else (lower pings help to mitigate higher intensity values).
