Hi --
New to mining BTC and LTC, currently running 1xHD7950, and building a 3xHD7950 rig - although I'm late to the party, this should be fun, and I will probably eventually make some money on top of the capital invested (300USD for 1xHD750, 1400USD for 3xHD7950 dedicated rig).
I've been mining litecoins as they are a bit more favorable at the moment, and have mostly used wemineltc.com (and ltcmine.ru). All in all, they've both been quite good with a slight preference for wemineltc. For the last 3 hours none of the shares that cgminer has reported have shown up on their server - turns out I am not the only one, see recent posts on
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=169249.220 .
At least other people have the problem, at first I was worried I had some malware that redirected shares to a dark pool (which would be a clever feat!). Currently back on ltcmine.ru, I'll see what happens. I suspect and hope they just have some bugs on their server, as they mentioned something about stats being off. We'll see what happens - if this is:
a) a bug with stats reporting, but the shares are recorded and will be properly credited to the account
b) a bug where shares are not being properly recorded on their end - that will be interesting to resolve
c) they are burning their clients - not likely, but who knows
Cheers!
