I really hope this 42 makes it worthwhile here. I'm expecting at least 25% more for one day, but the number of interruptions and rejects markedly increased. Maybe try two stratums so we don't fail-over to a competitor?
Middlecoin has shown me better profits even with the higher fees. Got over .012 btc in a day at 1.15mh/s (3-5% hardware downtime). I also have noticed that I get less rejects and more kh/s with their minimum difficulty of 512, oddly enough.

My guess is the host is paying out his own BTC at near market prices and saving the pools mined LTC for himself in prep for the next bubble.
After 8 hours of 2.5KH mining my Confirmed Exchanged is showing extremely low figure - 0.00205255btc . I sure hope this is just a display error...
Has the pool been on 42 that whole time? Probably. So it might go back to how the pool does things -- specifically, stats don't show up for the current round until it's completed (AFAICT).
Interesting fact, pools that control ~45-60% of the network hashrate of a coin tend not to see much loss in profits with the higher difficulties they themselves bring about. Even if the difficulty quadruples, and they still hold 50%, they get just as much money as if the difficulty were lower. At 1.8gh/s, we have lead the charge on 42 along with other multipools and dedicatedpool. Difficulty at this point is almost superficial.
