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

[aurel57]

Seeing I have not yet been able to confirm that the roving 1-2Ph/s is generated from 13 rigs, I took another delve into the stats. Rather than analyse the data without considering the two factors that I have been led to believe are important, i.e hash power and difficulty (I discarded luck as un-important), here's what I have based on difficulty.

Ok, but how much time was spent at each hash rate tier within those difficulty levels?

Diff: 44455415962 (total: 42 blocks)
1. 16 - Less than 9.5 Ph/s
2. 20 - Between 9.5 Ph/s AND 10 Ph/s
4. 7 - Above 10 Ph/s

If 50% of the hashes are submitted while the pool is over 10PH/s but only 1/6 of the blocks are found in that period, something might be wrong. If the pool only spent 1/6th of the time at that level, then the numbers your seeing are what you'd expect.

At this point, I do not care what you think or know, even whether you might have a point. You've adequately demonstrated to me (thus far today), that your opinion is worth disregarding in its entirity.
If you can confirm either way whether the roving hash-rate is from 13 rigs, that would be your time spent well.

What MrTeal stated was the first thing that came to my mind as well. Your data is flawed to show anything without it.

Another long one. All this fighting has angered our masters and they have activated again already. Calm must be restored.

what are you talking about?

There is a smoking gun hiding in plain site. The plans appear to have been in motion since the new site was launched. In their announcement: http://satoshilabs.com/news/2014-11-17-slush-pool-beta-released-while-others-shut-down-we-move-forward/  they state "enhanced payouts". As far as I can see the rewards and payouts haven't changed at all as I use both the old and new sites. We're still over 10PH and still grinding the same block again. Those barking it's just luck are clearly part of it.

Now excuse me, I have some foil hats to make.

Using my conspiracy calculator I calculate this block will end at approx 14 hours 45 minutes.

I need a 7 1/4" please

Got that wrong, wishful thinking.

But the pool did drop below 10Ph/s

Briefly.  Shot straight back up again though.  Just unluck I guess.

Now that's up I better add that to my computations .... 10.2 Ph/s .... 19hrs

Sweet.  It's still at 10+ so some monitoring required to see how long they are taking.

Just had to shut all mine down for a while.  The exhaust hose fell off the aircon so it was just pumping out hot air.  Room was up to 39 degrees C.  Down to 34 now.

Glad to see that one is done...

5:35:34 all over 10PH.  Conspiracy crumbles a little bit.  Still holding on.

Antpool jumped to 56.30 PH/s  (https://www.antpool.com/home.htm), which could be one of the reasons for poor performance at the smaller pools.

Why would that make any difference in the short term?

@kabopar - what was it hashing at before the jump? It may be the case that bitmain are testing a new rig with the new BM1384 chips (could even be newer ones!) ..... I am expecting a new product from bitmain at the end of the Chinese new year celebration holidays on or soon after the 25th Feb.

And now the pool has been below 10Ph for a good while and no blocks found.

Just bad luck..random chance

WRONG!!

8:19 over 10PH at start but was at 9.6PH at the end.

Now 5:16 and 1:50 both under 10PH


New block been running 15 minutes at 9.9PH

[rpandassociates]

I am with BigBitMine on this one, yes a 10PH issue is a mathmatic opposite, but I noticed this a month ago, queried it in the forum and everyone thought i was nuts or a conspiracy theorist.  Its not a conspiracy its a observation. Lats round about 10PH the block time was  19:34:00 
the next one was began with 10PH and ended up being 5:35:34 probably because at some point it dropped below 10PH
Now we are 9.4PH and the blocks are returning to normal times

I think the pool owners really need to look into this one.
If its a script limitation then fire up a second pool so users can fill that pool once the main pool hits oh say 9PH the best block times happen between 8-9PH thats when we see those wonderful 30 minute or less blocks
