Looks like blockchain.info is undergoing maintenance currently. Perhaps that is why blocks are showing up invalid? If Slush is using blockchain.info for verification (as it appears he might be), then this could be causing our invalid block issues. |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Make that three invalid blocks in a row.
I would guess this is a sign of work being done in the background. I believe these blocks are not invalid but marked as such on the pool level (so they do not interfere with rewards), so the operator has some headroom to fix things. We can confirm this once blockchain.info gets back up again. |

I wonder what mechanism they are using to pull the data from blockchain.info. If only part of the site was down, say the mechanism that feeds out block information, then it is possible this could have caused an error on the pool. Could also just be Slush's pool having some issues as well. I am very glad this is now fixed though. |

Please forgive this possibly stupid question.*/apology* What is DIFF? It refers to difficulty, it an automatic thing which makes mining bitcoin more difficult the faster they are found, basically its to keep the bitcoin law true "coins can only be found once every 10 minutes (on average)". That the jist of it, I am also a newb so might have forgotten something :-) |

Everytime we have a run of bad luck people blame it on the difficulty, which isn't likely. so he was being funny. |

Actually, I am rather surprised to see those blocks valid on blockchain.info, then after an outage as orphaned, then later as valid again. What I saw there made me draw premature conclusions... I would not take if for granted that the pool uses blockchain.info services to decide if a block is valid (on the main chain, not orphaned) or not... AFAIK any bitcoin client can give you that information. |

I think if you set your Send Threshold to lower than your Confirmed Reward, it will auto payout. Same with leftover NMC. |
