Yeah api2, api, and api3 none are working for me.  Could I have been blocked?  Can't connect at all.  Can't connect to the website either...either http or https

I'm in the same boat.  Was able to connect on and off earlier.  But now I am just getting continual connection errors.

Having issues connecting again.  Is it me this time or are there still some problems?

I think I may understand.  He wasn't part of Slush's pool when Slush started merged mining, so is mad because he wasn't told so he could switch to this pool and be part of the first in.  In that respect, tough.  I don't believe anyone is owed foreknowledge as to how to be on top at all times.  If you were here, you were here; if you weren't, you weren't; and if you didn't know what was going on, welcome to the world.

I can understand the confusion when all of a sudden blocks are being found at a much accelerated rate.  I can understand the potential feeling of watching an opportunity slip as obviously someone/pool/whatever is now boosting the processing power and you don't know which team to switch to.  But this isn't underhanded, nor is it something that needs to be publicised.

I understand I am in a position to "luck out" as I joined with Slush as my first pool and have never left.  But it could just as easily been any other pool.  And it wouldn't have been my right to know that DeepBit or any other pool, did or was going to do it so I could be there from the start.  If you feel cheated because Slush didn't announce when this was going to happen (though he has mentioned much in the forums that he was working on it and would make it happen when he could) don't.  There was no cheat.  This wasn't underhanded.  This didn't undermine anything or anyone except prices...but that is what you get for speculating and it happens to everyone in the market.

If I am getting it correct, I understand your disappointment and frustration, but it is misdirected.  Slush didn't do you wrong...he was just the first to begin the transition just like when CPU mining got usurped by GPU mining.  Those mining with GPU's weren't doing anything wrong or underhanded, just mining more efficiently in a manner that went previously undiscovered.  CPU miners I am sure were bummed watching their mining methods turn to worthless almost overnight, but they weren't owed anything.  It was progress, plain and simple.

I am trying to read your posts with charity, but I am just not understanding what your problem with this is?  If we mine BTC with slush, we get a share.  If we are still mining BTC with slush now we will also be getting Namecoins with our share.  Maybe I am missing something, but all of the namecoins currently mined by our combined pool's power will be distributed based on our inputs.  I don't believe Slush is keeping all of them that were mined before he opened it up to us for himself.  Again unless I am misunderstanding something he didn't use the pool's collective processing power to make namecoins for himself.  So I don't really understand what you are pointing to Slush and calling him a weasel for having done.

For the relatively few issues your pool has had, thank you for your quick responses and replies to issues.

I'm willing to believe so...I hope so as well.  My hope is that the website updates are just not working correctly, as I too have had funny totals on the last 4-6 blocks with a none on two of them that share were sent in on.  Hopefully slush can get this fixed up...sucks when your addiction can't be met cause his website is down 

Was it 0 immediately after?  There is about a 20 minute lag time from the end of one block finishing before the processing and the amount shown is correct.  If you are refreshing a lot you will see processing, followed by none, then your award going up and up till about 20-25 minutes total after that block has been found.

Everyonce and a while I get a bad round.  Figure that is just like getting a long block.  Random chance.  Low chance for it to happen, but it has.  If your average payout per round starts going down considerably while your contribution stays roughly the same, then it might be worth looking into.

Is this still in the works?

Was hoping to reply to a person having an issue with slush's pool and him trying to utilize multiple gpu's under a single worker account.  He can't do that and that is why it is giving him so many stales.  Also wanted to put in requests for some android utilities located within.  Please white list.
