Ditto here. This performance has usually been good for around .0007 BTC in a block this long, but there are an extra 4 decimals this time making it 1/10,000 of expected.

yes, but I didn't want to say anything and maybe jinx it...

Check back again after a few minutes. Things seem to go from PROCESSING to none/none and then finally to a score.... In my case, with two miners, things first go from none/none to the score for the lowest miner, then finally ends up at the combined score - sometimes it takes 1/2 hour for the correct stuff to show up.

Wow, BTC Guild hashing at 53% of network -- let's hope their admins are honest  Why not ask him? That would be Eleuthria - see just above message. |

I like mining on BTC - but it's not my little 184Mh/s that's making much the difference...  Looks things grew about 5 Th/s the last week. I wonder if batch 2 Avalons are in delivery and they all hooked up there. |

Hey Eleuthria - fancy meeting you here! Hang out on Slush much, do you? |

It doesn't seem like it's just bad luck at Slush - Eligius just finished up a 19 hour block, and EclipseMC is at over 7 hours on their current block. Even BTCGuild has dropped to an average of 1 block per shift over the last 10 shifts - around 1/2 of what is normal.

No - there is definitely something wrong here. I'm not being paid for any blocks anymore

I have moved over to another pool, and I'm not having problems there with zero returns per block, even if my share counts are low.
The problem here is that these are fairly long blocks, and the scoring system works in such a way that shares done towards the end count more than at the beginning, but the flip to this is that with slow share submission at the end it could look like you were not sending anything and your score would be decaying faster than you were adding shares. Even if this was done with the simple calc of (your shares / total shares) * 25 * 0.98, you only be looking at 0.0002. And and average submission rate of a bit more than 1 share per minute. While slush's pool is pretty nice for most people, I don't think it is a great solution for such a low hash rate. You're just getting unlucky with score decay and too steep of a curve at the end. But this didn't start happening until the change in difficulty. I haven't encountered this problem here before now, even if I just got a few dozen shares in on a two hour block I'd end up with at least something around 1/2 the PPS rate for that number of shares. Then today, 4 blocks in a row, no payout... |

Well, OK.
Regrettably, it seems that I need to move over to another pool.
I can't see much point in cranking away here with my current tiny 184 Mh/s for hours and hours without reward. From the looks of things after mining on EclipseMC for a few hours, I can still pull down about .016 BTC per day there.
I do have a box coming with a pair of HD7990's which should be here early next week. That ought to fix up my hash rate at least a little - maybe I'll try back here after I get it going...

Yes, how nice for you - you get 20 days of what I mine in each and every single block you mine.
But that doesn't answer my question. Why, when I'm mining consistently (albeit slowly), did I get zero on block 17774 where I did better than on block 17770, which I did get paid something for? If this is "variance" then why have I never seen this magnitude of variability when mining in other pools?

OK - I'm really not getting how these blocks are being scored.
For two similar blocks - on this block, I got in 115 shares in 2:18 and got .00032359 for it.
17770 2013-04-30 17:34:10 2:18:03 15697265 115 0.00032359
But on this block, I got in more shares (132) in less time (2:03) and there were fewer total shares, but I got 0.000 ??

Darn - unlucky enough to have missed getting even a single share of that 35 second block....

Slush,
Are you OK? Just heard about major explosion in Prague, CZ....

Never mind. I think he must be working on it, it's changed around multiple times, now seems ok. Edit. Thanks, Slush. You're almost faster than the whole internet  |

Ditto on finally being out of the n00b jail...  And ditto the sentiments... |

Well, they get rather more than just their money back. Assuming the batch 2 orders were placed at 65 BTC when the exchange rate was under $150, that's more than a $15,000 profit....
So, with this much money in ASIC miners, why can't anyone build and ship them reliably? Butterfly labs, for example, has been taking orders and money for over a year now, and shipped nothing. Avalon ships, but in small batches, infrequently, and it looks more like they want to sell their chips more than they do their systems.
Seems like a venture capital guy that wanted to invest as little as $1M USD - and actually ship product - could make a fortune....

I'm watching an eBay auction where a batch 2 Avalon ASIC (when shipped) is up over $25,000 USD. Can this rig really ever re-pay that in BitCoins???
