Finished 1st half of my 24 hour run got my hash rate up by adjusting static to d=2048 on all miners Average mining efficiency 99.70
Part one Prohash 11:00Pm-11:30am= .8493 LTC at 136-138MHS will update this tonight at 12:00am

Final results of my test after 12.5 hours on ProHash and then 12.5 hours on Litecoinpool. Look how close this is. Amazing. It's hard to change over all my miners at the exact minute but I was real close. I did not change anything during this test. Miners were never shut off. The only difference is on Prohash I have to set my own diff or my profits are bad. I found a pretty good difficulty setting at 2048.
But on my litecoinpool settings I do not set any difficulty I just use password x. Look how close this is.

Prohash = .8493
Litecoinpool = 0.8450

This is great news. We made another change last night that will assign more working miners to the most profitable coins - previously, some of the miners assigned to those coins were idle miners that connect but don't submit any shares.

Try using h=5 as a password argument and see if that makes a difference. That optimizes for Titans, but maybe it does something for you too. It's also possible that the argument will make things worse for you, so if you don't see any improvement, remove the argument.

I think this topic is valid again.
Once again Nicehash is more profitable than PH.
Maybe even better to mine at litecoinpool...

Will post results tomorrow on how many Litecoins each pool pays in a 24 hour period. This is not to see which pool is better as profits change on Prohash. But I will run several test over the next week this should give us a better idea. :idea:
This is a piss poor experiment you are running. You are not reproducing the environment to reproduce the experiment.

You are running a miner for 1 day someplace then on another day running that miner someplace else...WOW the numbers from 1 day to another are different...WHO would ever have thought that? FYI you could have run the miner for 1 day at PH, and then the 2nd at PH and guess what? The numbers would have been different from one day to the next even on the same pool.

IF you plan to run this type of experiment...Use 2 miners that hash at the same rates, and stick one on each pool for 24 hours and THEN compare.
You have to compare apples to apples, comparing apples to day old rotten apples isn't quite a good metric to measure on.

Ideally you would want more datapoints to get a better average. Sticking 5 miners on each site and comparing the profits. Or take the top and bottom rates from each of the 2 pools toss them out, and average the middle 3 from each pool and compare. There are many ways to compare and verify the data...one way to NOT do it, it to collect it 1 day at a time on 1 pool without getting data from the other pool you wish to compare for that same day.

Starting now: 2 L3 at PH:

2 L3 at NH.

Stay tuned... My time is 22:15
Lets hope I dont get disconnected to much.

The fight starts now!
Will get back in about 12 hours or so...

<The race is on! :-)

Now the next experiment to run after that concludes, What if you only mine LTC straight up on PH vs LCP.
What would you expect to see? I'd be curious to see how that works out for a 24 hour test.

PH should on a good day beat the crap out of NH. on an average day PH should still be in the lead. Shitty day, then NH might win.

And the results are:

Profit:

Prohaching: 0.006873 BTC = 30.8 USD

Nicehash: 0.0078 BTC = 35 USD
