I wonder if the luck has to do with the price drop or if the price drop has to do with how bad the luck was. Also I wonder if the miners will drop in price now.

Miners priced in BTc are already falling

Guess now would be the time to buy some coins and buy an s1. Only miner that isn't going for thousands of dollars are the ants also they are to only ones I have been able to find for bitcoins.

Price drop of BTC is because of 2 reasons.

1. Russia deemed BTC illegal

2. MtGox went down.

Both are bad...
Stop looking at your HashRate, and Pool Luck...
Start watching the news...!

I saw online about it dropping just before I made the post.  The article that I read said MtGox went down and something about servers over seas.  I'm thinking that had more to do with the MtGox going down.  Thought maybe because of that going down and price dropping might be in part as to why the issues were on Slush.  I didn't know that about Russia.  I didn't even Know prices went down till I saw that article and nothing about Russia was said.  Glad to see things are getting back to normal on Slush.  Also all the news in the St. Louis area is saying about Bitcoin is Apple took an app off the market and some places in the area are now taking them.

Special cause events like regulation will pass in time, long-term trend is upwards. Just like China regulation and pricing this will pass over. Either way, too much upside to not be involved, watch the news in context of knowing that negative reporting sells more advertisements than positive.

wow - has anyone ever seen a dead even 25 btc block value before ?  I have never seen a dead even block value of 25 ever. .   I always thought it was 25 + some sort of residual value and that 25 even was not possible. . guess I was wrong.

It is 25 BTC + transaction fees. It is possible to make a block with no transactions in it or only free transactions.

Yeah the 25.00000000 result - block 284724

I'M UNCOMPLAINING! I'M UNCOMPLAINING! Thank you, benevolent bitcoin god! Thank you!

Funny one of the presenters on Russia Today funded by the kremlin has launched a crypto coin.    China ban was for companies not personal use, Russia verdict sounds worse


The no fee block was 18 seconds in the making which I guess explains the lack of traffic in the that time

I bet the conspiracy theorists and complainers that ran to another pool are kicking themselves now, especially since the hashrate fell by about 10% and our payouts went up.

[KNK]

That's the advantage of the bad luck - it leaves less people in the pool to share to good luck

ah ..i knew being lazy and clueless about all this would pay off (not really)....lazy i mean in changing pools ....clueless on the voodoo and chicken entrails needed to figure out how pool luck works...and all this other mystical bitcoin stuff...

anyway not having any real idea of what is going on and not changing anything worked for me again!

yea apathy!

Been here since the beginning of December 2013 with 110GHs. My advice: Don't Panic, it makes you take the wrong decisions

Alas, they'll be back, refreshed and ready to carry on with their daft accusations next time we have a big dip in the luck.

Well looks like I'm kicking myself. I found the proxy program and started setting it up but got busy with other things and didn't have a chance to get back to it till now and I see I hosed myself.

Question. I have 3 gpu's is it worth pointing at this pool or should I stay with the alts?

[KNK]

With GPU's you are definitely not for BTC (or any other SHA256) mining at this point, no matter which pool.
Even if your power is free GPU won't get you enough for withdrawal any time soon and if you want to donate your work to some pool, then pick your own favourite.

thx for the quick reply.

BTW is the mining proxy only for this pool or is it configurable?

I believe that you have to recompile to change where the proxy points. But i might be wrong. There is a thread fro the Slush proxy.
