Tried dynamic for a bit but now back to static d=262144. With dynamic diff hash rate was averaging 775 Mh/s with rejects. With static d of 262144 hashrate is much better and 0% rejects on the Titans in the miner dashboard.

When I did the 24hr c=litecoin and d=8192 I got zero rejects everything ran great only mining litecoin as it stopped the coin switching and on the main page I was showing 100 percent efficiency but did notice my restart penalty was over the limit a lot.. But why would it need to restart if I had it set to only mine litecoin? I think it would help instead of showing total shares submited ever 2 hours it should show total shares for 24 hours. Because if it resets every 2 hours I cant tell if it matches what my miner submitted for the total day.

Depending on LTC difficulty and LTC/BTC exchange rate I earn approximately 0.009 to 0.013 more BTC per day mining at litecoinpool.org than I do here. That daily difference adds up to half of my monthly electricity bill for mining. I have to go with the results I see.

That's a good catch. The work restart penalty is irrelevant for only mining litecoins.

I'll need to investigate whether it affects earnings. If it does, then it should not and we'll fix the problem. If it doesn't, then there is a display issue and we'll correct that.

Thanks for the report!

I looked into this issue. Thanks for the report.

The cause of the problem is that the website is incorrectly displaying that a penalty was assessed, when in fact no penalty occurred. Since no money is being lost due to this problem, we fixed it and will include it in the next release, whenever that is. For now, you can ignore that field, as it isn't penalizing static coin miners anything.

Thanks again!

With a vardiff specified that high, its gonna take a very long time for your Titan to register consistent reject results, due to extremely high variability in your luck at a vardiff that high.

If I go with dynamic where the pool sets it it eventually reaches the same setting of 262144. If I manually set a lower difficulty I actually earn less.

You shouldn't earn less with a lower difficulty, unless there is some issue with Titans that we aren't aware of. Does anyone know if this happens to other types of miners than Titans? We have never seen this with our miners.

We've squashed them until everyone like you comes back and overloads the system again at a new higher number :)

I think that we got the maximum up above 600 GH/s now.
