steve If you have A2 Terminators, connect them to https://www.litecoinpool.org
Mine are very stable around 102-103 when I connect them there. When I connect them to prohash they vary a lot and the average is lower. I have two A2's connected to prohash at the moment and they vary a heck of a lot compared to litecoin pool, and I would say on average they report about 20% less on prohash.

OK, thanks. I'll try this first thing in the evening and see what I find.

I do not have any experience NiceHash but I did use Cex.io's multipool service before switching completely to prohashing.

From miningrigrentals works! Work restart delay works also :) Thank You !

EDIT - 12:00 EU time - This miner is not responding to work restart testing, so a suboptimal default value was chosen. Use the r= password argument to manually set a default value.
Aaaaand .. not working :(

I will post a complete update on the NiceHash issue tonight when I have time.

But on a side note, loszhor, what did you think of Cex.io? What feature did they not have that caused you to switch to here?

I finished these tests. At litecoinpool.org, this Zeus miner registered 21.08 Mh/s. Here, it registered 16.34.

What was interesting was that there were hardware errors here, and I didn't see any such "invalid nonce" errors at litecoinpool. I wonder if these are responsible.

Thanks to those who helped out above. Now I have a reproducible test case.

Thank you Steve. That is very interesting information - are you able to get those hardware errors sorted? On a 110 A2 Terminator I am getting around 103 M/H on average, and currently around 1.5 LTC/Day. On prohashing my average is quite a bit lower (see my worker 11 and worker 12 if you like)
I would have to calculate it but I would guess around 90 M/H a day, which when you compare to the PPS of Litecoinpool the latter pool looks more favorable...

I spent some more time on this and now the miners are getting the same hashrate here as at litecoinpool.org, when I have merge mining disabled on the development pool.

On Sunday, when I'll have 10 hours to really commit to this issue, I'm going to investigate whether merge mining is the cause of our problems. I'm also having difficulty determining exactly what coins litecoinpool.org merge mines, if any. Perhaps someone can assist in answering that question.

This may or may not be of any help to you, but multipool.us merge mines doge and via with several "main" coins such as ltc. I think this is why their profit stats are all over the place. I don't believe they have code in place that calcs the "main" coin plus the doge and via when making the decision to mine a particular coin.
