ugh prediction jumped to 25.8!

sigh! heh

That's good news if it holds that low 

currently 26 and change, i saw 27 something earlier today. we really need to ignore it for the moment. Our luck on the other hand, we really need some good juju. last two days have been stoko.

Hello there,

Can you surf on slush's website ? Me no, and connection with client doesn't work too...

Let us all give hip-hip-hoorays to the hard working ASIC miners for their well deserved kudos. Thank you for securing bitcoin against the THEORETICAL 51% attack. Thank you for stealing all of my REAL profit. [/sarcasm]

Hi, I'm mining for the first time, on Slush as it was frequently recommended. Still haven't got my head around the rewards systems. I've been running at 1.6Gh/s for about 10 hours, and the rewards are so far pretty low. I'm assuming this has to do with the scoring. How long should I wait until the reward rates are more representative?

The rewards are low as compared to what? how much do you expect to get from 1.6Gh/s in ten hours when the whole pool is about 20Th/s?  I'm runing about 3.6Gh/s and my 7 day average output is currently .085 btc per day at your rate you can expect about .04something a day.

It's just an unlucky spell - what you get per round will stay similar, we should be getting more rounds though.

give it 24hrs - take a reading and look at the 24hr pool luck (if pool luck is at 60%, then what you earned is 60% of what you would earn on a normal day).

Sometimes pool luck can be around 160% - take that into account aswell.

happy mining

This last block is killing me.  I plugged in some new ASIC sweetness and I want to see my real world MHash, but this round just wont end.

Is that about 5 usb sticks? Trongersoll is right - you will be looking at approx 0.03 - 0.04 per day at 1.6 GH/s

Yup, that's about what I was expecting to be getting according to http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/. Right now, confirmed reward plus estimated for the round is 0.0072, which would work out at 0.017 for 24 hours. I figured it might take a while to gain score

Cheers. I'll check it again tomorrow.


To be sure, my system lost connection three times. Once for a few seconds, the other for about 2 mins, and the other about 10-15 mins. Not sure if that would have cost me significantly, but I'm getting the impression not.

Those 3 hr plus rounds aren't exactly helping anyone's rewards  

With the long rounds the PPS reward system might give you better results but overall I find that I earn more on Slush.  I'm too lazy to do the hard math right now, but in general Slush's reward system is ratio based (with aging to prevent pool hopping) so you can see that my results between round #18958 (0.00180 BTC) which was 3+ hours and #18957 (0.00185) which was 4+ minutes was about the same.  Now with PPS (on BTCGuild for example) you would get ~ 0.00444 BTC for round #18958 based on what their PPS rate is, but for #18957 you would have received 0.00011 which gives you about 0.00455 BTC versus Slush which gave 0.00365 BTC.  Not that great if you look at it.  However, if the rounds start getting shorter then you would start making more because a couple of short rounds like #18957 and  #18955 would earn you significantly more (e.g. 0.00185 vs. 0.00011 per round which is an order of magnitude more).  Since this is all still luck based, there is no set time to wait until rates are more representative.  I can only say wait and see.  Well, at least that's how I understand it.  I'm sure the more knowledgeable folks on here will do a better job explaining the results and correct me where I'm wrong.  There's probably a duration someone can calculate statistically with 95% certainty that you'll see more "representative results", but I'm guessing that's probably a large number.

On long rounds like the 3+ hour ones disconnecting for a few minutes won't matter as long as it's at the beginning of the round.  Now if it's a short round or you disconnect near the end of the round then you lose out big time!  But... that's how Slush's anti-pool hopping rewards system works.

[EasyQuest]

I chose slush because a friend of mine suggested it and ever since then I have been stuck on slush because of the scoring system. love the lucky days and dread the unlucky days, but it averages out in the end.

Meaning... Slush sucks so bad nowadays!

I've got over 15 USB hubs with USB sticks running. In past few weeks, already 4 adapters blown.
Everytime when 1 adapter dies, it costs me. I have to buy a new adapter, but that's normal.
It's not normal that Slush f*cks me over when one blows, or when I'm getting disconnected, or whatever problem causing hashing rate going down.
I will be looking for another pool. KUT!
