Brief update - Saturday, November 22

Here's a brief update on things happening right now:

We performed a quick restart of the mining server earlier today to enable acceptance of shares where the dogecoin portion is stale. These shares are now paid at a lesser rate (right now, it's about a 15% loss), but are no longer rejected completely as they were before. Currently, we're seeing a profitability increase of 0.5-1% as a result. You'll notice these shares by looking at your earnings, and some shares will not have dogecoins listed (only the primary coin). If that happens, your dogecoin share was stale and would previously have been rejected.
Not yet released is another feature which is finishing testing now. There are also cases where the primary coin can be stale, but the dogecoin share is not. In these cases, at the next release we will begin paying the dogecoin credit (about 85% loss) instead of rejecting the shares entirely.
We added two new coins, Netcoins and Ripoffcoins.
Beginning in the next release, the only shares that will be rejected are those from clients mining with the wrong algorithm, and the rare case where both the primary and dogecoin portions of the share are stale. We anticipate the number of fully rejected shares, where no credit at all is obtained, to be below 0.05% when that release occurs.
