Where do you get forwarded to facebook?
There was a "website under maintenance" intermediate page with a link to Facebook. It links to https://www.facebook.com/MiningBitcoinCz?fref=ts - last update was Dec 16th. Dang it, another maintenance.... |

Website now is:
404 or 502 Bad Gateway
Again I point out - it directs us to Facebook but no updates there. Someone mentioned on one of my previous posts that they hate Facebook, which is fine as far as I'm concerned, but if we're being directed there for status then shouldn't it be updated with something? I don't care if they use Twitter, Reddit, bitcointalk forum, or whatever - as long as the link they provide for status updates actually adds value, status, and insight. Maintenance outages always make me nervous since we constantly see problems with calculating rewards afterwards. |

thanks eleuthria, good explanation. You are a bitcoin sage  ps: is slush pool stuck, 11 hours and counting /tap  Eligius has a block with 10,139,820,992 shares a couple days ago. We're a little over half way there.  Edit: Hah! Timing luck! Too bad it is another block with no rewards. Now that was odd.. I saw it say none none and then refreshed a minute later and it was updated. that happens to me because I'm refreshing my browser every minute after a block is found and sometimes I think I refresh right as it is changing from processing... to the reward because I will see none but then a another quick refresh reveals the reward. Now if we can just get the one from a few rounds ago sorted out. You'll see that after every found block if you refresh every minute. It will go from processing, to none/none, then will incrementally increase your reward as it calculates your specific account until it's done. *Usually* from the time it goes from processing to full reward is about 2-3 minutes. The time it takes to go from processing to none/none fluctuates considerably tho - I've seen it as fast as a few minutes up to over 40 minutes. |

My situation seems to be fixed now.... Thanks and a Happy New Year.... Mine too. I had a feeling I'd wake up and it would all be resolved, but money related things make me a little cranky while they are happening. Ditto on the Thanks and HNY. |

I've only been mining for about 30 days here in Slush's pool, and there have been several problems in those 30 days. They have all been fixed - except for one (skewed payouts about 2-3 weeks ago) - but I have to say that if I had caused this many issues at my day job then I would have been fired the first week. I've tried to stay positive through all of these problems, shit happens right? But I'm getting a little tired of being continually frustrated by problem after problem. I wish we had some context on why these problems keep happening, that might help us to understand why there have been so many recently. They may be the original pool, but it seems like it's more of a hobby sometimes.
One question we always ask where I work: how can we prevent this from happening again. Might want to ask that from time-to-time Slush.
*Disclaimer: I'm tired, frustrated, on-call, and watching all my work being reversed with each block we find. I'm a low-volume miner so every little bit counts.
I guess in this business there are a lot of alternatives that are easy to set up and easy to switch to... So there is no real reason to stick with it unless there are loyalty bonuses involved... To switch temporarily to a fully working pool has no downsides? Switching pools for some users is like walking into a dark alley, but today we are being HIT in daylight on the main road.(for some anyway). Pool failover/switchover is not an act of disloyalty, it is self preservation. When the problem is fixed you can switch back again. For me it's not as easy as switching to another pool for a day then back. It takes me about 6 days to make 0.1 bitcoins @ 32GH/s so I have to stay at least 3-4 days so I can get enough mined to hit the minimum amount I can move to my wallet (generally around 0.04 to 0.05 of a bitcoin, depending on the pool). On a side note - has anyone else noticed that when a maintenance is going on, and the link says to check their facebook page for maintenance status, that there is no status on that page? The page hasn't been updated since November..... Yet another thing to add to the pile. |

Me too. It will reset itself later. Yeah. I've seen this a couple of times before. It will be fixed before it gets fully confirmed, if history remains true. |

According to the expected return on my mining hardware rate (a whopping 32GH/s - woot) I'm actually pretty much on par with what I'm supposed to be mining right now, but it's really deflating when I see other pools finding blocks every 20-30...5 minutes when we've been mining for over 7 hours now. Maybe I should go read a book, or 10, and check back later and let it all average out. The more I watch the more anxious I get.... My wife said I'd be obsessed with this, she was right. I think that's the problem, I'm paying too much attention right now Fast rounds only happen when I'm sleeping lol... We're in this together, also obsessively watching here, waiting, ugh... In all truth, I have noticed the same thing. I wake up in the morning (er...afternoon) and we've hit four to six blocks. I guess it's the, "a watched pot doesn't boil" situation. Still don't quite understand that one from a physics standpoint, but it does kinda make sense in this case  |

This is BAD. Plus my share per round has gone from .0028 to .0020 with the pool growing. BOO
Your share of the reward per round has dropped with an increase in the pool hashrate, but you can expect more rounds per unit time. Your expected reward per day is unaffected by pool size, only by your hashrate and the network difficulty. in the current situation I've gone from nearly .035 a day to .01 a day! LOL @InfiniteGrim - In what timeframe? Mine have dropped slightly over the past two weeks, but nothing like that! @J_Dubbs, I agree. |

LOL I agree that it's been frustrating to see the round times take so long lately, but I'm not sure how that may be a fault of a pool - other than the overall hashrate...which we'd all have to pay for out of our rewards (as we've seen) if it's as high as some of the other pools. I've been watching who has been finding blocks and it's consistently three other pools that keep popping up over the past few hours (Eligius found three in 8 minutes about 40 minutes ago!! But twice the hash rate as Slush). I've found though that it kind of ebbs and flows and we get into a lucky streak from time to time as well. I have occasionally wondered what the difference would be between mining here and mining at another pool. I suspect it might average out, but I have no way of knowing for sure. I also suspect that if someone else had tried to figure that out themselves, but is reading this now, then they probably didn't see an advantage with sticking with another pool. Anyone have any intel/data/info on that? |

I have a some older technology Getwork miners working through a Stratum Proxy hashing on Slush. Running around 50 to 70 GH combined
I had one recent round, 21228, where I had no reward for any shares. What is up? The value formula indicates the reward should have been 0.0013 BTC. "The reward earned by a given user is given by the following formula:
(25 BTC + block fees - 2% fee) * (shares found by user's workers) / (total shares in current round)"
Not much loss but it seems like something is wrong or I don't understand the BTC reward algorithm, or I don't undestand reward reporting.

Round 21224 sure was a winner!
I've had the all zeros thing happen to me before too, but I found out that my miners weren't connected during that time because of an issue on my stratum proxy (nat'ing issue) so they weren't able to connect to the pool during that round. You sure everything was working as expected during that round for you? I'm guessing that since the next round shows results that it may not be the problem you were seeing, but thought I'd throw it out there just in case. |

Does anybody got smaller reward from last block nr.275382 ? I usually got about 0.011 or 0.012 and now 0.009. I have 235 GHs working stable all days and have differencies like this. Pool hasrate did not increase so much. This VarDiff is really strange Maybe I will try other pool for next days. 21190 2013-12-17 07:45:08 0:43:26 295448511 142870 0.00953309 275382 25.00924742 21189 2013-12-17 07:01:42 0:07:31 51117216 25618 0.01222655 275376 25.08234131 21188 2013-12-17 06:54:11 3:50:22 1561299703 752058 0.01070464 275375 25.02442000 21187 2013-12-17 03:03:49 2:55:24 1185086879 587930 0.01149019 275345 25.11146929 21186 2013-12-17 00:08:25 0:46:49 315412078 153339 0.01238332 275321 25.01472000 Mine was normal. I have three different devices and it seems to calculate them separately then add to the total shares as each one finishes. Sometimes it takes a minute or two for the full share amount to show up for multiple miners - could that be what you're seeing? |

What happened to 275087 ? blockchain.info says it's ours, but it doesn't appear in Slush's stats... Series numbers go from 21171 to 21173, skipping 21172 - which should be for block 275087. I've only been mining with Slush for 2 weeks now, and I have no reason to assume that the block won't show up eventually, but hoping some of the more seasoned miners in the pool can let us know if they've seen this happen before and what we might expect. After what happened with block 21027 I'm admittedly a little nervous though. |

Hi folks,
I'm Alan and new to this forum (and also new to the Bitcoin mining business).
I have to say that I don't like the "newbie restrictions" since I have an urgent request in a specific thread. A solution would've been a verification email with a code in it or something like that, or a captcha code for these so called "newbies".
Anyway, I guess I have to wait four hours.
Cheers,
Alan

References only go so far. They tell you that the person is not known to be a thief, not that they wont steal in the future. Its like job references or a credit agency reference.. They should be used to reduce risk but you should not use them as a guarentee that someone is trustworthy.

wow, haha his choice of words... and understanding.. I like how he Rolls!!
question though, could a Virtual machine work just as well? and basically Totally lock down that virtual machine so nothing and Nothing can access that information unless you boot it up?
i feel like this would be possible too, yes a usb idea is much greater but if you just move the Virtual machine over to a flash drive Disconnect from the internet or something on a different computer and access it that way? i could be just making up some dumb crap but hell, might as well put some effort into getting out of the newbiee SECTION..
