It does seem at times on Prohash my hashrate shows lower then it should. For example one of my griddseed blades should hash at around 5.3khs but it could not get above about 4.5Khs running on your pool. I thought something was wrong with my miner I tried diff dificultys but it did not help. When I switched pools I got the 5.3Khs back.

The problem I think to do this test better is only use one miner instead of 6 miners. With 6 its harder to isolate what miner might be having a problem. I have a mix and match. I have one A2 Mega 110Mhs, 2 Gblacks, and 3 Gridseed Blades. My mega sometimes goes all the way down to 95Mhs when on certain coins then I will look at it later and it pops back up to around 103Mhs which is about normal for that machine. I left them running on the other pool so tonight I will see if the payout is the same as it was. I will let you know. Then maybe I might try the same thing again but just use one miner instead of the whole rig.

They sometimes get unstable. My A2 always hangs out at 100-105Mhs but I noticed it was stuck at around 90Mhs the other day. Same problem with my gridseed blade shoul be 5.3khs and was stuck at 4.2Khs when I switched pools they went back to normal. I may try this again using just one miner instead of 6. Might be better to pin down the problem. I left them running after my last report on lightcoinpool. I will see if I get close to the same payout later tonight

I'm working on trying to find ways to improve profit. As far as litecoinpool, it's interesting that you would say that they are paying less today, because the payout you stated would be greater than 100% Litecoin payout. If Litecoinpool is a PPLNS pool, they could have just had good luck and now they are returning to normal. It's still not a reason for us to not beat them every day.

Its better on the other pool seems more stable.

Chris investigated this issue last night.

This issue is unlikely to be caused by the new release. Instead, what happened is that exchange Yobit stopped responding to price requests because they limit the number of market names that can be responded to in one GET request. Chris recently added additional markets at Yobit. I fixed the issue. He tried to issue a release last night but it failed, so he had to revert.

This evening, I'll try to determine what was wrong with the release and hopefully we will be able to get it running in production. Once it is running there, the number of additional markets at Yobit should increase profitability by making a significant number of new coins available for mining.
