Hello,
How can I change my password on your website? It appears there is no such option on the 'My account' page.

*pout*

Took us almost 4 hours last night for a block, too...and the Network Hash Speed is way lower this morning than usual, though ours is up. Bad luck indeed.

Variance is a bitch.  Hey tomorrow will be better

This was kind of curious as well:

Will the real Block 118490 please stand up?

Stats fixed, second one (pool id 3261) is 118491.

I hope so, this variance is killing me. Two 500k blocks in one day? 

[slurch]

It took me a minute, but I figured it out. Also figured out how to read the block chain in the process, so it was a very worthwhile exercise. 

The 500k blocks suck, but at least I'm not the only one miffed by them.

Question: Does it reduce my reward if I run 2 instances of a mining program on 2 different pc's with the same worker account?

The reason I do it is: I use the same batch script, and I currently don't know how to log into a different account (since the pc's are completely identical)

[trilogy456]

Yes.
From pool's home page:
"Every instance of your miner needs its own worker account!!!" 
You could have also seen that your grand total hash rate was staying the same running the two PCs as the same worker, compared to only running one PC. I believe running two PCs as the same worker splits the work in half, so you were getting the same reward as you would have with just one PC. (I believe).

Anyway, register a different worker and you're fine.  Edit the batch script on one of the PCs so it uses a second worker.

502 Bad Gateway

site is down...

Can someone explain to me why this happens? Is this the bitcoin daemon crashing?

Web site is down but the pool still is sending out getworks and my my miner is hashing them

Same here, so it can't be the bitcoin daemon then. Probably something to do with his web server. This is not a criticism at you slush (if you're reading this), but is it me or does this happen quite often ?

Well... hopefully the server is counting them. It probably is, but I always get a little nervous when something like this happens to a site I have invested so much in already.

When this happened before all work was counted and paid.  I think it is just the front end.  While annoying there is no harm done.

Bitcoind on webserver crashed 15 minutes after my last check and I was on the trip in the meantime. Restarted, running again. Looks like mndrix has no troubles with last patch solving deadlocks, so I'll run it on pool server soon, too.

Everything is back up, looks like no work was lost either

Also looks like the variance is being less bitchy recently as well

Slush how much do you make per month off your pool?
