Click "1W" , past 32 hours were really bad for the key pair that the pool mines.

Looks like it has recovered a bit however over past 8hours

Wow that's insane! I wonder if it's better to just mine LTC direct at the moment?

If you are not specifying otherwise, ProHash pool would switch miners to LTC if it was more profitable. You can trust the pool to mine what is currently most profitable out of the coins it has available

Do we think it will recover within the next week , also why are the rejected shares so high ?

Not sure but with so many L3 being delivered in batches... the added effect of increased network hash will play on the profit of scrypt.

It's a bug in the mining server. We are overloaded with work and aren't able to investigate it.

It's certainly one of the top priorities that we hope to get to soon!

Ah ok thx for the info imo that bug and stopping bots should be top prio :)

Would you suggest running antminer L3+ on static diff of 131k or automatic diff in this pool?

Have the same problem here. My eight L3+ roughly made 200$ altoghether while I received 350+ with the same setup just five days ago. If the performance remains like this or even decreases it'll get hard to reach RoI anytime soon...

The numbers, as far as we can tell, are correct. While there are bugs that result in rejected shares, Bitconnectcoin crashed and took out scrypt profitability with it. It lost about 20% of value, but has since recovered.

There are also a lot of L3 miners coming online, driving up the difficulty. This chart at https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/difficulty shows that Litecoin difficulty has increased by a factor of 10 since earlier in the year. Expect profits to decline as more L3s arrive.
