I have question.
I mine 24/7 in statistic everything is ok, Est. Coins/Day ~12FTC, Auto Threshold payment set on 10, but my last Withdrawals Sep 27 8:45 AM and there is no more FTC on my acconut.
I work for nothing for 3 days?

What's your username?
Same as on forum: "endrju1"

And you mined only on FTC?
Yes, on setup: stratum+tcp://pool1.eu.multipool.us:3337

Floud, FTC is apparently patching with a hardfork here in the next few days.. I'm sure you're already on this, but if not now you know.

I've got it compiled already, just waiting for a good time to take down the FTC pool for a couple minutes to install it.

Well, shit, it looks like the fork happened already.

I thought we had a couple more days at least.  A bunch of blocks were orphaned.. Sorry guys./

Block 88037 was the best share I ever mined:

@Flound:  Is it just the pool hash rate graph itself at fault, and is everything else working fine?  If so then I'll start mining with your pool again in a little while, I don't care about the graph if the shares are still getting paid out.

What hashrate are you expecting to see?

For me it seems that cgminer hangs on occuring difficulty changes of the pool like this (It just happened when I was checking the PC):

Code:

 [2013-09-30 00:30:56] Stratum from pool 0 detected new block

I use CGWatcher but it seems that most times CGWatcher is not able to restart cgminer in these special cases.

What version of cgminer?

Running some numbers on FTC block 87906, 15 minutes @ 900 MH/s should have been about 12.35 Million shares for the block.  The actual number was 12.385 million, well within the margin of error.  The payout on the block looks fine during that period, which leads me to believe it was just a display problem in how the numbers were shown on the web page.
Hopefully, it shows me as having done no work over the last three hours, but both my miners showed plenty of shares submitted.  I expect to mine at a slight loss though, the reason I still want to it anyway is because the weather is getting colder so the heat kicked out by the computers isn't a waste, my gas heating hasn't come on once yet as a result so it's saving me money there as well as earning a bit.

Edit:  To be fair though the price of many alt-coins is down at the moment in relation to BTC so that could be the real reason for the low earnings.

Anyway, it's getting late.  I'll check back tomorrow to see how things are going with the pool.

EDIT:  It seems that you might be right about it just being the pool's website telling lies, I just looked again and the hashing rate graph for the last 24 hours has changed completely, showing just occasional spikes.

Where did all of the hashing power go?
It looks like shares for FTC are not getting counted.  Hopefully it is just a display issue.
We did find a FTC block a few minutes ago:
http://explorer.feathercoin.com/block/eb1ec25d993803adb911be466bd5a2e49383e983ea7827dbc999f36f3fa8a116
It just has not shown up on the multipool website yet.
I was just going to mention that.  By switching to the EU server it seemed to be happily staying connected now, providing work to my miners but it seems that a lot of my shares haven't been being counted, well it looks that way from the graph on the website anyway.  It also looks the same for the rest of the pool too.  According to the Multipool website I've only made 0.0060015BTC (60p UK pennies for about £4 spent on electricity) in the last 24 hours so unfortunately I have to stop mining here for now.  I'll keep checking back and as soon as I see the pool hash rate graph showing solidly I'll be back again because other than this issue I like this pool.

EDIT: The block is now on the MP site, and seems to be correct.  https://www.multipool.us/blockdetail.php?block=87906&curr=ftc

That poclbm file is from the machine with the GTX580 in it.  I'm not sure how the empty values get assigned, maybe GUIMiner-Scrypt passes them over when you start the miner because changing the settings in GUIMiner-Scrypt does change its behaviour.

Edit:  The batch file that starts CudaMiner passes them over, the poclbm-scrypt.ini file just seems to be holding a record of the various miners that I've set up.

I have to go out to buy something to eat now, I've been sat here all day and haven't eaten yet, and it's getting dark.  I'll be back in an hour or so and I do appreciate your help.  Tbh I'm not sure that the problem is with the configuration of my machine considering how I'm not the only person having this problem.
Difficulty: For GPUs just use MP's recommended values. Not an issue.
Coins: Are you mining TRC or ZET (SHA-256) or LTC, NVC, FTC...CGB (scrypt) coins? Two different ball games.
Server: Try the US server. I've used EU servers before and couldn't tell the difference.
CGMiner: Are you interested in trying it? I could show you how and you can leave the other programs on your PC and pick which you like.

Edit: I see now, you're following MultiPort in the scrypt coins.
Sounds like flound identified your problem.
The difficulty levels I'm using are the recommended ones.  The US server ping time is about 155-165ms, the EU server's ping is 25-27ms.  At the moment I've been using the US server, the PC with the GTX580/Cudaminer so far has about 4% stale shares, the one with the HD5870/Reaper has about 10% stale shares.  However, it is mining FTC right now and not running into trouble.  I'll try switching to the EU server again to see if it's working properly, it might help to reduce the amount of stale shares.  To know if it's definitely running better or not with either server means running it for long enough to be sure, as opposed to me running it for five minutes and then posting back here.  There's nothing connected to my network which could be overloading it, just my phone, my neighbour's two phones and his iPad, and my Netgear Stora NAS hard drive, which I can see from here isn't doing anything because its hard drive lights aren't flashing.

Okay, thanks.  I'll let you know how it goes.  I suppose that could cause an intermittent problem because the pool switches cryptocurrencies regularly, if so then that would explain why it's fine sometimes and not others.  I'll also have a look next time to see if the pool has switched to mining FTC when this happens.

Anyway, I really need to go out and hunt down some food before I fade away!!  Going for a walk instead of endlessly sitting in this chair sounds like a healthy idea too.  Thanks everyone.

Another thing to consider is that maybe some other device on your home network is choking out your internet connection.  Run "ping -t pool1.us.multipool.us" and see what kind of ping times you are getting.  If they are more than 100-200 ms, it may be a network issue on your end.

One-by-one, go around the house and either disconnect, disable wi-fi, or power off anything that is using the connection.  Computers, cell phones, DVRs, TVs, gaming consoles, etc.  If the ping rate drops significantly when you turn one of them off, it might be causing you problems.
