coinotron and notrollin
give-me-ltc is fixed, back to number one pool.
coinotron on rbpps mode is a close 2nd but really close
everything else is at least 1% or more less effective. p2pol is bad, only good things are ddos-kinda resistance if you run your own node, and ideology.

I had $400 in Amazon ec2 vouchers I had lying around, so I'm mining 3 CPU cluster instances on p2pool til it runs out
whats the best mining pool to join , since tc.kattare.com crashed I need a new one
coinotron and litecoinpool.
give-me-ltc was the best for a long tome but today completely crashed and theirs solution is criticaly bugged, so it unacteptable until fix

What list do you mean? If you're referring to p2pool.info that's for BTC not LTC. I don't think there's a site like that for LTC.
Anyway, I ended up waiting maybe 2 hours for the next block to be solved. When the block was solved I was paid almost immediately and that's how I knew things were working. Over the course of the next 24 hours my payout per block gradually increased since it's a PPLNS scheme.

I assume he's talking about p2pool.org.
I'd be interested in finding out what makes it ddos-resistant.
Ah. p2pool.org is not DDOS resistant.
You're only truly mining on p2pool if you're running your own p2pool node. Then you're DDOS resistant.

I'll be looking into that.
I am now running a p2pool node. I couldn't find a guide on how to host the server on my desktop pc and connect the miner to it, so I did some fiddling on my own and I think I got it to work. However it is reporting about 50% stales, and I have no way of knowing how much coins I've earned. Is there anyone with a bit more experience who could guide me a bit ?

That's not bad. If this works out I'm probably gonna stay here.
How long does it usually take before my address shows up in the list?
I've been mining for 20 something minutes now but my address isn't showing.

people should use p2pool. inherently ddos-resistant, avoids centralization of power into the hands of pool operators, and a bunch of other nice things.
Yes, that's all fine and dandy, but not really profitable seeing as it pays nowhere near what PPS pools pay.(Unless you have like a billion mh/s.)I'm actually making MORE than PPS using p2pool with my little 150 khs rig. Averaging arout 1.7 LTC/day.
You have a point... Notroll is currently showing 17kh/s for me while my cgminer is showing over 1300 average.
will try p2pool for a few hours and see what the payout is.

better than leaving your mining farm unattended for an undetermined amount of time and then returning only to find that the pool you use is being raped by ddos, and you're getting stales/refused/effectively losing money/etc people should use p2pool. inherently ddos-resistant, avoids centralization of power into the hands of pool operators, and a bunch of other nice things.

What pools are you hearing of having issues? I think there is a big problem with some open source pools.
Notroll is having huge issues with shares not being counted, hashrates being halved, and whatnot. LTCMine.ru is down, and has been for a few hours ( not a good sign... )
Litecoinpool has closed their registrations, and I can't log in to the account I had from before.
/Edit; If anyone has the know-how, I'd love to open a pool of my own. I'm not well versed enough with blockchains and what have you to be able to get it to work so I'd need someone else to do this. I do have server space though ( and money
)./Edit2;
I am setting up a multi-currency pool right now and expect to be completed within a few days. I plan to support at least BTC, LTC, TRC and PPC and may add more if there is interest in others.
That sounds good. Send me a PM once it's up.I might even take you up on the offer in you signature. We'll talk about that later.
I think the problem is that there are 3 or 4 main pools that everyone mines on.. We need some diversification.

I have my cgminer clients balanced between three pools (litecoinpool.org, notroll.in (both EU and US) and ltcmine.ru), so rarely do the DDoS/performance issues really impact my overall income on LTC.
I like pooler not accepting new clients on his pool though, it helps distribute the network load. What saddens me is that pool operators aren't open sourcing their pool software in order to help make the network even more secure by allowing people to spin up their own pools.

I noticed that a lot of Litecoin pools have been experiencing some issues lately, and being the kind of guy that usually sticks with just one pool this is starting to hurt my economy.
So I'm currently looking for any and all Litecoin pools that don't suck.
So, where are you mining?
