Hi everybody,

I used to mine some BTC back in 2011 on miningcz.
I tried to access to my account (n0name, same login as here) but it seems it's not working anymore.

Since the miningcz administrator might be somewhere in this topic, can he have a look and give me a feedback how i can have my account working ? (i try the online chat but i didnt get any answer)

Nobody can help me ?

Not directly, but did ya try hanging around the online help for more than a few hours? Not been there myself but the link shows a .freenode address so it may really be an interface to IRC. People who you see logged on in any IRC channel might not even look at it for hours so try waiting around for a bit.

As an aside, I know your pain in selling the 1000 btc for $3 - let me guess, it was the drop from $29 odd down to about $2? I sold my several hundred way before that event (it's highest ever was around $2) but the end result is the same.

Weird, all rounds are confirmed, but there is still some amount in my 'Unconfirmed reward'.
It can't be current round reward as it is different amount ... bug?

EDIT: It is exactly the reward for round 21050, which should be confirmed by now.

EDIT2: And it got confirmed on the next block, so it seems the block is shown as confirmed on it's 100 confirmation, but the reward is confirmed after 101 ... minor bug and without such a long round, would never be noticed.

Thanks for the links. But ya gotta love the language they use "Bitcoin plunged more than 20 percent to below $1,000 " Oh gee wizz so it's back to where it was like last week! I want it back below $200 personally and all the day traders and speculators be damned. Those that want constantly higher prices in terms of fiat miss the entire btc philosophy.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. Don't forget it was the lamestream media that started publicising the whole thing that got it to go exponential. I think TPTB aim was to build it up and crush it (They've tried before and failed) Ie since when has Greenspan cared about any backing? the $US being backed by more than a printing press! Great backing there after Nixon totally got rid of the Gold standard. Both he and Bernanke have said Gold have no intrinsic value but fast forward a few years (to the interview he rocked up to looking like a corpse to recently) and all of a sudden it does? He said IT and later real estate was not in a bubble right before they collapsed yet all of a sudden the ol coot can predict a bubble? 

Sorry for the rambling but tldr I agree with you that they wanted to build it up to smash it but will fail as they have done in the past. The difference is this time they pulled out all the stops

In normal rounds it takes 15-30 min to Calc the refunds.... On a 15h round the Pool calc only 3mins?

Not much else to do was there really?

Just a guess but during normal rounds the system is processing lots of things at once (people getting payouts as rounds confirmed etc) but since everyones balance was already confirmed by the end of the last round it probably had a lot of free time on its hands

WHO HOO!! 32% LUCK!! 

[harry1]

Can anybody tell me, how i can Set the diff with bfgminer in Slush pool?

21027 and 21033 need recalculations, my reward is halved again.

My reward for round 21027 is 1/100 of the usual one. But it has been confirmed already... :-(

+1 - The same here

+1 here as well.

So what is the story with how to get this resolved? I've sent an email, there are several posts here reporting the problem, and I've tried IRC. The actual BTC involved here is negligible, but it isn't confidence inspiring that these problems happen *and* then don't get resolved. Looks like slush hasn't logged in here in over a month. How is one supposed to file a support ticket request with him exactly?

Any news? Or is this just the cost of mining on slushes pool?

Pretty sure some people got a larger than deserved reward on that block, not sure whose pocket all the shorted BTC will be covered by but I'd say it's spilled milk by now...

This is a bug that has been here forever.  It fixes itself.  Don't sweat it, trust the father.

Has there been a history of the problem taking this long to fix itself though? I mean that round was 100+ confirmed a long time ago and is now about to drop off of the stats round history page (so it will be much harder to track when/if it is fixed).
