so what happens if I restart my miner in the middle of mining a block? will I lose it? or when it reconnects everything will pick up where it left off?

I'm not far too sure. Blocks are not guarranteed when solo'd, meaning there is always a very high chance of well, not getting anything. Personal advice is to go to a pool. You'll get almost same amount of coin/day.

yeah I know but all the pools seemed like they were having problems, some of them saying we are going to get ddosd tonight. Yay!! fun times lol

Yep. Last night while I was working on my blockchain stats I got to calculations that difficulty would rise to 33. All of the pools got DDOS-ed, I think because of very high hash rate, so they wanted difficulty to drop. At the end, the difficulty rise up just to 8. It seems unlogical, however to DDOS them now. As you can see on my site, difficulty will increase in 4 and somewhat days.

We need DDOS protected pools...

well if I remember reading correctly you will make the same with pools or without. It's just with pools you will make coins more consistently instead of blocks of 88 coins every 4 days for example.

Precisely, and with pools it is guarranteed to earn, unlike solo. You can have 2000KH/s, and be that unlucky that you get no blocks in days.

I could care less if I get paid out in a big chunk of 88 coins, or 5 coins every hour, as long as at the end its the same. And with the current pools being ddos'd doesn't make much sense.

my 3rd desktop just gave me 8 blocks in a few minutes while the other two desktops at 526k are like at 1 block and 0 blocks

Are you sure you're definetly mining CNC?

yes man 100% positive

the only thing that confuses me is if network difficulty is 8 why does it show 526k in cgminer. On my laptop on the other hand it shows 8k the proper difficulty

I have explained you already.

Shares of difficulty 1 in Litecoin are 65536 times smaller than the BTC ones. Therefore, cgminer reports it wrong. To get the right one, take 526k, and divide it by 65536

Result = 8.026123046875

On your laptop, it might be that something is wrong, or that is the share difficulty.

on my 3rd desktop it shows difficulty 16k ?? lol dafuk is going on??

Is it showing that on Diff: or "connected to whatever diff" ?

connected to is showing 16k and block difficulty is showing 16k
