Yes, it seems that in every forum gets filled with people that like to know something about everything.
But they are too lazy to google or even read thru the same page where their question will appear.
It would be very nice to see people think about the question, maybe then write it to google or search box of that forum.
Generally 95-97% of the questions are already answered mostly on the same thread or at least easy to find thru google.
Sorry about this offtopic. Feel that the high information content is lost to one or two different questions that are asked 3-5times
per page.
FIND THE INFORMATION BY SEARCHING FOR IT FIRST, THEN ASK IF NO-ONE HAS ASKED IT BEFORE!
Thank you.

With 10 times the hashing power vs. a week ago, that implies waffle pool is taking in 10 times the fees.
Do costs scale with hashing power (charged more for the server usage)?
With 10GH, and .01 btc/MH, that is about 100 BTC/day gross. At 1% fee, that is 1 BTC to the Pool, or about $200,000 per year at $600/btc.

Is there a way to see individual worker stats? If not, what is the purpose of the worker option? If so, how do you see individual worker stats?
Nevermind. I see on the individual stats page where you have a place for a future update to put individual miner information.
In the meantime, I set up different bitcoin addresses for each miner.

Might as well ask for instructions on how to tie your shoes or brush your teeth. Some topics are basics and it should be expected you know them or research them yourself.
That is the idea of "Frequently Asked Questions"...
...
Yes, but the idea of "Frequently Asked Questions" is for the specific topic, WAFFLEPOOL. There is already plenty of information for crypto, altcoins, pools, mining, GPUs, math, brushing your teeth, etc. Asking the pool owner to perform redundant work takes away from his time spent on profitability. That means you and I are paying out of our potential profits to educate people to lazy to bother reading a few posts back in this thread. What makes you think they'll read the FAQ?
A section in the FAQ that is a collection of links to external resources on how to tie your shoes I could understand, but I don't think poolwaffle should have to spend his time redoing work that has already been done.
Is it the left lace first?

Poolwaffle: since you already have round data in the database (end time + number of shares), why not just calculate hashrate based on that? (for say, 10 rounds, and for the current round). No extra processing or data storage required that way.
February 22, 2014, 10:57:57 AM
I think the biggest thing is this: Because shares per round is fluctuating so much, reported hash rate is also fluctuating. Shares over time should average out to being the same, thus reported hash rate should average out to being the same.
Yep, I'll increase the timespan for hashrate calcs. Right now its over 5min, which was fine for lower difficulty. Just bumping it higher means more DB access (storing more data, more calculations, etc). It also means a longer time until people see their hashrate at what it should be. Not too worried, just some side effects of the change. I agree though, this is probably what is confusing people.I should have just done more research before speaking. Sorry about that. :-)
No worries. Sorry if it came off as curt (I actually edited it almost immediately after). Just got 30 things on my plate, and explaining variance 5x a day to people gets tiring 
Add variance explanation to FAQs.

Poolwaffle,
What u have done today/last night is great! 0.044BTC after 23 hours with 3.45MH/s.
Can you do this everyday?
Thank you!

Hi poowaffle,
Great job on maintaining this pool and explaining the situation for everyone (with patience).
I just have one question: If the vardiff is disabled for now, it would be interesting removing that from the FAQ on the site?
That FAQ session would be confusing for new people that think vardiff is enabled and check that is locked in 512.
Best regards.

Agreed! Made some notes around the site (News, index, miner page). Posted a link to the wilshrader page (I never thanked you sir!)

And for the third time. Please email me. We don't keep full logs of why workers are getting rejects, it runs at about 2-3gig of data per hour. We only keep the last hour of detailed stats, the rest are summed up. I need to coordinate with you to be able to watch whats happening when you're mining with separate workers. Please email me.
February 22, 2014, 06:58:40 AM
Going through in order
I don't know of any issues with workers like that. Can you email me what you were using for worker names? Perhaps its an invalid character or something?
Restarts are a normal thing. It means there is new work (compared to the old work you were working on), this could be because there are new transactions we want to include in a block, or we switched coins. You're most likely getting the exact same number of them as before, just that with fewer shares submitted (512 difficulty instead of whatever you were before), you see them more often. They're perfectly normal, and are to be expected.
As for the 5% rejects, that seems high, what is the reasons returned for them?
poolwaffle, can you pls explain the issue with workers?
as a test I set up 8 workers for my rigs and hash reported dropped to 2mh
took away workers and went to normal.

Can anyone explain what requested work restarts are?
I mostly use old cards like 5850-s in my rigs. I have around 2.5-2.8MH. I tried out middlecoin but my profit was really bad. Since they changed to 1024 diff it was worse. I had lot of work restarts and around 5% rejects.
Then I found waffle with vardiff. Worked like a charm. Around 1% rejected and no restarts. Since diff is changed to 512 I'm getting a lot of restarts again and reject went up to 2,5%. My profit went down.
Anyone can explain why is that?

I use the following pattern:
BTC_off1
BTC_off2
BTC_garage1
BTC_garage2
and so on just incrementing numbers.
When I set that no hashrate reported dropped dramatically.
Please advise.
Again, please email me the actual worker names you were using (all of them if possible) so I can check on them in the database.

See above and earlier post before asking the same question every 5mins, please.
Just to answer it again: No, it was for separate rigs for their separate variable diff, which no longer exists because hard diff 512
