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

Yes I would be at that point and that is the gamble we take when we choose a pool and it's backup.
And I would take the loss since I chose the pool I mine on and the backup.
I understand we get paid "faster" since more power just came online. I get it.. It's a good thing for sure.
Ghash finds blocks multiple times a day and if I wanted a paid every hour I would mine there.
Yet it doesn't seem like our rebuttals is getting thru to anyone.
Because when the pools go back up the power goes back to the other pools and we stay.
But those guys got their equal payout so they don't care while our score means crap and we get less.
Sure it's all about luck. I can play the hopping game here.
Oh look 10% done and already an hour into the block. Guess I'll go mine somewhere else for the next 8 hours
and come back for the last 2 and get paid like I was mining the whole time at slush.
Been there done that... It works quite well actually. Almost like clockwork really.
Right now 3 hrs into the block. I could point my miner to ghash for the next hour, get paid and come back
and collect my payout here as if I never left. Slush might find it in the next  hour but the odds says the pool won't.

Slush does not monitor this thread anymore. If you want your voice to be heard, I suggest opening a support ticket.

It is what it is and we can either live with it or move on at this point. Even if it IS more profitable to hop from pool to pool etc and collect the extra hashes per round but I have much better things to do than play the pool hopping game for a few extra satoshis!

tl;dr please summarise

yeah, it kinda feels bad if somebody jumps in just before a block is found. But honestly, it is still a matter of luck. That guy who jumped in at the eleventh hour just may have jumped into the middle of 25 hour block. there is no predicting when a block will be found except statistically for a given hash rate and luck can kick that in the teeth.

Slush's pool was the first. The best? that is in the eye of the beholder. If you think you can do better or know better then start your own pool and let the miners decide. Coming into this thread and saying "this isn't fair" or "it should be this way" accomplishes nothing other than pushing up your post count. Nobody who matters reads this thread anymore.

There is Nothing new under the Sun, every great idea that you have has been had before. Stop thinking you are special and smarter than eveyone else.

[BCwinning]

well excuse the fuck out of me for letting my voice be heard about the pool.
I wasn't filing a ticket here just venting.
Yep I know if you don't like it there is the door. Wasn't why I posed what I did.
kiss arse much?

I wanted to check my old account balance but I think my account was disabled for being unused for a while. I can't submit a ticket because it says my username doesn't exist. What else can I do to get in contact with someone?

 the submit a ticket username/password is separate from your mining account user/pass and it is recommended to use a different one.
 so just register and submit your ticket.

 how the hell would you know this?

You do realize that 10% has absolutely nothing to do with the "completeness" of a block, right?

That's 10% into the CDF for the time it SHOULD take to find a block.  We might find a block at 11%.  We might find one at 99.989%.  That's why the pool has a "Luck" statistic.

Well played sir!    touche

"My Account" info shows I found my first block (304223). Who-WA!

But when I look at it on blockchain it shows 0 transactions and 0 transaction volume. Does that mean it's a dud?

Well done!  And no. it's not a dud, it just means that there happened to be no transactions attached to it, and thus no transaction fees.  Not sure why, there would normally be some in 17 minutes.  So the pool just gets the straight BTC25, less Slush's 2% commission.  The following blocks look fine, so unless something really disastrous happens, like a major fork (highly unlikely), we share the payout.  Thank'ee kindly!

Thanks for the explanation and you're welcome. I shared in a lot of previous payouts so I'm happy to help out.

man I so want to move all my miners here during this nutso luck...

but we all know how that goes! as soon as I do that... 22hour block 18hour block 12 hour block! OMG!

me just go back to not touching stuff...

I mined elsewhere but always switched back to slush...my daily avg. on slush pool is higher than any other pool I have mined with.

Yeah 90% of my hardware is here, the 10% other is to level out when we hit bad luck. win win in my mathematical eyes.

Good day in the Slush Kingdom!! $$
