Does not look like there is a problem with payouts on the digihash pool to me, i received a payment around 15 mins ago but I am mining on sha. I do get a latency problem and never achieve 100% efficiency. I'm in the UK, so I was expecting a bit of latency, I thought it was possibly due to GCHQ piping traffic to CIA first.
LOL! Well I did get a payment just after my last post as luck would have it, still a dismal ROI with difficulty bouncing around like a squirrel with rabies though.... I think DigiSpeed while being a good idea in theory, is actually doing more harm than good in some ways if I'm understanding how it works.
Has DigiSpeed been implemented yet? i didn't think it had.
Well if it hasn't something is seriously wrong, I saw difficulty go from 127 to nearly 500 and then back to 135 in the space of a couple hours :/
I hear you, but it's extremely unusual for difficulty to jump like that (aka DigiSpeed), you don't even see it ramp up slowly like one would expect as hash rates increase. That's why I mentioned Digispeed doing more harm than good, increasing difficulty like that only penalises people putting their hard earned and costly hash power on DGB IMO.
DDOS type traffic shouldn't affect coin difficulty, it may affect network availability of a particular pool, but only hash power should affect coin difficulty and jumps like I mention above mean hundreds of scrypt GH/s would theoretically have to appear and disappear just as quickly. That's a very expensive way to annoy a service.
