It seems when s0br has tried to answer questions, the answers are never enough as its not what the bashers what to hear. When I answer questions, ask questions or make statements either good or bad its coming from a miner who HAS mined on this pool, HAS pulled miners off at times over the last 6+ months  and has nothing to gain or lose by either talking good or trash about this pool. Its just all my honest opinion, take it for what its worth.

Good idea... I have mine split between BAN paying PPS so I get a set amount paid and Kano's pool paying PPLNS and am happy. I also have the miners on BAN set to rent hash on Westhash when the price hits my threshold.

And who are you to ask any questions about this pool? Have you mined on it? Are you even a miner at all? Last I checked this is a open pool thread and anybody can ask questions or answer. What a joke you REALLY are.

So has s0br paid every miner back for the last six months? Seriously?    The only think remotely that has a small merit in your whole posting but for anybody that has mined here for 6 months the amount that may have been short at the timing of difficulty change is very small compared to the bonus that has been paid in the past.

And what about his promise to post here? Hardly transparent is it? Would that make a difference to you as you say you got the email and I already posted it here once?

What about the stolen hardware claim with proof? What proof?? Wait because Black Arrow said so  hummm a creditably witness there  and if remotely true then they can take legal action to resolve it in the courts instead of having you solve it here.

What about the fake accounts he owns? He has always said he had pool accounts and not sure why this would matter to anyone anyways?

What about his fake pics he promised to "investigate"? I only assume you mean pictures of miners from the giveaway.I am not sure if any pictures were fake or not (other than the ones I posted) but I CAN say that I was sent a S3 miner which was unopened and the shipping label had a tracking number that matched the list that was posted of the group of miners he had to give away. I also know of one other miner that received a miner for sure. I also know the whole giveaway was not handled right and s0br has let it be know that he wish he had never done it for the mess that it created

What about the two wallet thefts at exactly the same time he ran out of BTC? This is the biggest joke of your post? The compromising of his wallet happened months apart and even after the first one he was not late on payments as he just bought BTC to pay people. Most didn't know of the first theft until a week or two after it happened. It just so happened I was on IRC chat with s0br right after it happened and he at that time thought he had misplaced the coins from the blocks.

What about all his lies?  The man has not lied to me that I know of.

I am wondering why your fan speed is so low?

My S5's jump down in and out of Westhash as my price is hit but I have had my S3's sometimes just get stuck after leaving Westhash and not failover to my next pool.

It depends on which pool your on just how bad you get hurt. As on Slush or p2pool if you hop off you can very well lose all your work and get paid zero for your shares.
In stead of pool hoping you can just split your miners up between a couple of pools makes more sense.

In basketball you would be short... in horse racing you would be very tall!

Just use this pool https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=763510.0

Much better than doing it alone, just pay the small fee well worth it

Edit: you will get the whole block if you find one less the small fee

I think I would steer clear of this option as I believe you will loss hash.

Very understandable as I moved mine already and all the hash I rented has been worthless. Stick a fork in me as I am done.

I do use Westhash when the price is right but being out of town this week and my miners don't always come off there and switch over right to my other pools, so I had to not allow them to go to Westhash while I was gone.

And so far me renting hash has not worked out profitable to do it any more.

EDIT: I guess I did leave my S5's on Westhash and had them set for .012 as they switched over to Westhash a while ago. It's my S3's that sometimes don't switch back to my other pools after they come off Westhash and just set idol so I turned them off Westhash while I am gone.

I have mine split between BAN and Kano's and only use f2pool as a back up.

Yes this is what I plan on doing. I am out of the country on vacation and will worry about when I get home.

Yes every time the pool has a problem it seems it's up to the miners to figure out how much you loss. I like most don't know but when I get time will have to see if what I got makes sence or not. In the past most times I was getting paid every two hours and with the old bonus it really didn't matter but now with no bonus and changing my payout to 12 hours it does matter. I will say the few times I did send in for loss payment it always got paid without questions.

Here is a email I got from s0br in case anybody didn't receive it:


[Bitcoin Affiliate Network - News Update] Server crash and lost shares....
Mar 2, 2015, 6:46 AM
From Gil
Details
Quick update...

We had a severe server crash this past Friday. We were able to restore everything within a couple of hours. I discovered the bug that caused the havoc and my fix introduced new bugs I wasn't aware of. The stratum servers went up and down yesterday as I was implementing fixes that weren't quite fixes. However, along with the fixes there are some new updates in the stratum/database code that seek to make share counting even more accurate and reliable. There were a handful of stratum servers that were dropping shares so I need everyone to check out their payment history and look for anything that looks like lost shares.

Please submit a trouble ticket or find us on IRC on freenode in #bitaffnet. In your ticket response please just give a btc amount of what you believe is missing and we will quickly reimburse you.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

There are a couple of new features to play with if anyone's interested...

1. We now support fixed difficulties.

If you'd like to specify your own difficulty, simply add ##DIFFICULTY to the end of your worker name. For example.. if your username is MrCool and your worker name is Ant1.... and you'd like a difficulty of 512.... use the following...

pool: geo.bitcoindigger.com:3333 username: MrCool.Ant1##512 password: whatever

2. A lot more work has gone into improving the stratum servers. They auto adjust based on the miner connecting to them in effort to reduce your invalids and improve your miner's performance.

3. Nicehash/Westhash support is back. Based on the latest updates (this morning), the share counting with their proxies should be pretty accurate.

Thanks...

This is a failover pool for me and have not been able to see my stats all morning. But I know BAN and BTCGuild were both having problems yesterday. Seems someone is attacking the frontend of the pools.

Yup and my rented hash is going to waste.

Here is my last payment, but my miners have been back and forth between here and Westhash.

Current Time         2015-02-27 04:53:47
Last Payout Time   2015-02-26 19:10:44

Seems to be.  

Miners appeared to be mining but I needed to reset them as I wanted to change settings for Westhash Pool and when the miners restarted they would not reconnect to BAN.

EDIT: Its back up
