Rejected rate

It looks like an update was applied at around 02.30 EST that caused my rejected rate to increase from <1% to around 10%, with an accompanying drop in my accepted rate. My total hashrate seems to be about the same. I hope/think that it's just the merge mining crumbs I'm seeing there, but my total hash rate holding steady(ish) while the rejected rate increases is a little bit scary.

You are absolutely correct. There is a problem with merge mining that I am fixing, and at the moment the shares that would have a stale primary coin but a valid merge-mined coin are being outright rejected. That would result in your accepted hashrate staying nearly the same while rejected hashrate increases. Steve will have an update on the situation soon.

Glad to hear it's not just my miners falling over. Thanks!
