Something strange going on at the pool, it is resetting the stats and shares everyone a block is found on the network. It is also screwing up the miners and they are starting to roll over. 
I have absolutely no idea what you mean?

Meh, more shit from linode - DE node lost connection again for 2 minutes from 04:31 UTC to 04:33 UTC
(and also between the DE node and another linode I have that monitors everything)
I'm guessing I'm gonna need to find someone not as shitty as linode soon (for the nodes) ...

Block! Whew! n200ug hits his 4th block with kano.is!
Here for the long run & looking forward to see CK at 50pt +

Great, thanks for the explanations, makes sense. I guess in my year here this was the soonest I had looked at the webpage after a block solve!

Why is the diff and diff % on this block reported with a tilde (~), is it approximate? And if so, how come? I don't see/haven't seen any other blocks like that.
It has always been like that when a block is first found.The web page header calculations for the current block (Shares/Invalids) are not always 100% accurate.
They are simple counters that gets reset when a new block is confirmed by ckpool (ckpool sends 2 messages per block to ckdb) and since shares can come in from before and after the block during the time frame between the 2 messages, it's simplest to just ignore the problem and know it's not 100% exact
CKDB generates a block record for each message, then later when the 'workinfo' of the block is aged (meaning it cannot get any more valid or invalid shares for the work that generated the block) then ckdb redoes the block stats calculation and creates a new block record that says it has been redone.
The web page displays ~ until it gets the updated (corrected) stats.

What cavaliersrus said
Every block we hit starts out with the ~tilde in front of the Diff and Diff% until the software is happy that we have the block for sure and it has time to set up the reward & payment page. It usually takes between 2-4 confirms to to clear it out.

the ~ means its not on the reported page till 3-4 confirmations

right when i was getting ready to say hey kano kick the server or something to find a block here we go finding another block

I have 5 avalon6's I would like to try the command could you show exactly how to write it?
just add "--suggest-diff XXX" in the "more options" box in the cgminer configuration page in the advanced settings.... XXX would be the stratum difficulty you want the miners to work at, in my case it was "--suggest-diff 27857"
--suggest-diff 10000
will be first try.
So far it appears to work.
great, I'm glad to hear it works, I used this post by CK about "Suggestion for how to choose a pool difficulty for miners" https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/suggestion-for-how-to-choose-a-pool-difficulty-for-miners-274023 to calculate my number.
I have four running at 13.1 th and diff was auto at 11500
I dropped to 10000.
Fifth Avalon 6 comes on weds
So I will bump to 12000

why not create a different worker for each miner?
wouldn't that allow you to see which ones might be having an issue/offline. which would also let your use the auto-diff from the pool instead of using the manual diff.
i like having separate workers for each miner as it lets me see/track the changes in shares/hash rate of each as i fine tune/tweak each miners frequency. Slowly tweaking the frequency up/down to find the optimal hash/stability.
ie one of my s7s only likes stock frequency the other likes more power and still wanting more.

it's not possible....Avalon miners use a centralized controller and all the miners are connected to the same controller via proprietary cables, you can set only a single worker in each controller. I have 1 controller with 11 Avalon 6 Miners, so it's one 39 TH worker for all my Avalon 6 machines.

Sigh, lost DE there for less than a minute (13:48:38 UTC)
DE itself didn't lose connection with the main pool, just almost anyone connected to DE lost connection and may have failed over.
Linode again
All's ok again now.

Kano, thoughts on this on block withholding? http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/2016/02/detecting-unintentional-block.html
Heh he picked the same number I said on the slush thread - 10 blocks.Yes the pool already has information about that ...
...
You, the stats pro
, used 10x and I guessed right about (the same) appropriate value when I commented in that thread. February 16, 2016, 08:14:01 AM

hello guys
one question, i'd like to set the stratum difficulty manually on my miners to 20 shares per minute as suggested in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/suggestion-for-how-to-choose-a-pool-difficulty-for-miners-274023
i did this on my Avalon6 controller without problems using the "--suggest-diff" command on the cgminer "more options" field available in the Avalon6 controller interface.
however i got a few Antminer s7, s4 and s5 that do not offer any field to enter any extra cgminer commands, anybody know how do i set the stratum difficulty manually on Antminers?
thanks in advance for any information

I wonder how many other pools were still looking for the 1st block when we found the 2nd of the back to back blocks.
