What about the issues that Vanessa was talking about yesterday where she and FRISKIE believed that balances were not being credited fairly? Do you believe that's true, or do you think that bitconnectcoins caused lower profitability that may have been mistaken for that?
Tricky one, for a couple reasons because there's a triple prong of reasons that arose all at the same time
i) downtime of BCC, a very profitable coin reduced the profit figure for PH against other pools and consequently dropped the earnings for a period of at least 15hours by my count. I think this is the major reason for losses on 23 June. Can you clarify with this type of daemon error - can the live profit figure be reported incorrectly? It's not trying to calculate it using the last available diff it obtained from the BCC blockchain as part of the profit algorithm? Hence, throwing off the figure.
ii) addition of the DDOS protection has (extra latency perhaps) pushed up the "negative delta" for any users of NH. Last time I used it i noticed it was about 3% more delta, another reason for a reduction of profit if anyone using NH and comparing apples to apples from before DDOS protection.
iii) i think some investigation into balances being credited is merited, I've noticed a reduction recently but because the hashrate charts are likely correct I don't exactly have a good evidence. Now that BCC is enabled I will compare my earnings over the next 24 hours to an average day 2 weeks ago and will send a support email if it's way out.
In summary, perhaps lets see how everyone earnings are like over next 48hours and see if shares are still out.
. Something on the pools end
