[4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool

[styggson]

I should have earned .016+ BTC and got nothing for it instead as well.  This is my second day and I've paid out a lot for mining rental equipment so this is a real BLACK mark on this pool, in my eyes.  

*smirk* there are soo many reasons why you might not have received your $10, the most obvious being that you paid for renting mining equipment.

alternatively:
1) pool luck - its not uncommon to go 24hrs without the pool solving a block some days, and other days solving 10 blocks
2) your machines not properly connecting to the pool - whats the reported hashrate?
3) payout is delayed for 120 blocks if i recall (~20hrs) so whatever you earned may be 'pending' still
4) the first bit of time on the pool will have very low rewards until the PPLNS system reaches its peak for your system. (I think this takes 10 blocks?)

That's stupid as hell.  I was robbed, pure and simple.  "Slush" or "Slesh" (as he calls himself on here) can go to hell for being a fucking thief.  You're "most obvious" is bullshit as well as I've done it before with this thieving pool but it did not work this time.

I've got 115GH/s of my own equip that I'm LEAVING "SLUSH" FOREVER NOW.

Bye bye

Hey all just completed newbie status and i can post here yay! I am pretty new at this but I have a question. I just got a 200g avalon box and i have it running. Not knowing alot about miner configs i have been messing with mine. The seller told me i could play with the frequncy up to 1600 but to not let DH get over 5. 1400hz was getting about 203g avg and DH was staying around 2.3 so i got greedy and tried 1500hz. It was going good for 8 hours or so getting about 215g avg and DH steady at 3.9. I went to bed and woke up to see DH was over 20. I reset it back to 1400hz. I noticed though for 2 blocks lastnight i got a really crummy reward. Was. 01 per block leading up to the last 2 blocks which i got. 002 each...bummmer. Not griping like that last guy, just wondering is it because i was getting so many errors?

Welcome to the forum.

The DH% seems high, but I would not expect that alone to account for such a large fall (0.01 seems about right at present for 200GH).  It seems to me that a more likely explanation is that your connection dropped out for a while, but others may disagree and postulate other ideas.  It would help us to analyse the issue if you could post the relevant lines from the statistics page:  the rounds in question, plus a couple before and after.  Has the DH% remained at an acceptable level since you tweaked it downwards?

thx, yea so far DH% has been steady at 3.0 since the reset here are all of the blocks since i hooked this up.

Have the next two rounds completed since you last posted gone back to normal?  I note that round 21337 (block 278072) is also rather lower than I would expect.

In the absence of any other suggestions, a temporary disconnection remains my favourite suspect: if it happened near the end of round 21350 and carried on well into 21351 that could result in the fall you see (together with a small drop due to the high error rate).

[curt.rowland]

yes, the last 2 rounds have been normal (.01 and .009) I would buy the internet connectivity expaination, my ISP  hasnt been wowing me latley 

[InfiniteGrim]

Hmm, just got 1/3 of what I normally get for the last 3 1/2 hour round

My Block 21354 was normal.

Separate problem, the issue where earnings were frozen as Unconfirmed seems to have returned on the last round. Low balance on the hot wallet once again?

[kabopar]

New payout issue.  Last reward payout did not make it to my wallet for over 30 minutes.  Checking on the blockchain shows it with "unconfirmed transaction".  It rings a bell about some incident in the past where Slush reward payments were 'stuck' because of unpaid transaction fees.
Has anyone else experienced this recently?

Edit:  payment made it through after a bit over 2 hours. not sure about the cause.

[gourmet]

I use this-- http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator when speculating about hardware, I know it's falls rapidly out of date for future difficulty rises, but it gives me an idea of what a miner can do, immediately. What I want to know, is does anyone have a link to any mining calculator that might give me some ideas on solo mining? Like one that will say how many days/weeks you could expect a block for with a given hashrate? Does that make sense? Basically, a solo mining calculator. I'm not really planning on trying solo, but it would be interesting to know.

thanks.

TLDR: For solo mining to be reasonable, you should have roughly about 1/1000 of the network power. That way there's a chance to find a block before next difficulty change.
(With 1/2016 of the network power, you'll find one block from the 2016 blocks on average.)

This calc does that http://mining.thegenesisblock.com/ , as for solo mining it may be unlikely that you'd find a block and getting less so, but people solo mine other coins with ASICs and exchange for BTC and do not so bad. You could look at it as a constant lottery too if you did it on BTC, especially if a block is around a grand per BTC or higher. You could get lucky.

[Sir Alan]

yes, the last 2 rounds have been normal (.01 and .009) I would buy the internet connectivity expaination, my ISP  hasnt been wowing me latley 

Specifically, it looks as if your miner was failing to connect to the server for whatever reason from about 10h05 until about 12h31, as you appear to be missing about 42 minutes' worth of shares from round 21350, and 102 minutes from round 21351, based on the number of shares credited during "normal" rounds.  Yes, I know, I should get out more often.

[curt.rowland]

Wow man thanks for digging into that for me. Just curious then, would that also cause the high error rate i was seeing and it may not have been attributed to the higher frequency....or could it be that the errors from  the higher frequency caused the network connectivity issues?

Question - I am relatively new to this all, and I have been mining only with Slush's pool since the beginning of September. I started with a GPU miner at first, then I added 9 ASIC block errupters, and then about a month ago I added a 10g blade. My MHash/s rates are as follows:
GPU = 615 Mhash/s
9 Block Erruptors = 3,050 Mhash/sec
1 Blade = 10,331 Mhash/s

I notice at first I seem to get a decent payout, but it decreases over time. I recently switched to a Raspberry Pi unit to cut down on the power consumption (powered by one of the hubs) and I noticed I am now averaging around 0.00058202 as a Payout for each round, where as for a while I was at about 0.00100000. Is the difference the amount of people/devices mining the same pool or is something else going on? Should I expect it to drop down much more? Or is it just always going to get lower and I just need to keep adding?

Sorry if this is not the right place for this kind of questions

So the "pool luck" figures under the stats page can't be correct, can they? We've had some long rounds and it's actually showing higher luck than earlier today, something seems off with that. Any insights?
