Going through a proper slow down.  Hate anything over 6 hours.

Not long now before the blocks start falling over themselves seeing diff has gone up to 46.7 from 44.5 ...... fingers crossed, thats if my theory about slush's algorithm being fast to learn how to crack blocks at new diffs is right.

There is no algorithm to change how fast you find blocks and it is completely unrelated to the network difficulty other than the simple test "Is this share a block?"

You can try till you're blue in the face, but some people just can't or won't learn.

You are so full of yourself @kkurtmann. I am sure you are not alone in the crowd that believe's that whatever is written in this thread (or forum) has to be aligned to your thinking, but as you've taken it on yourself to define me as you have I better point out to you that the reference to a slush algorithm was actually a joke (in jest of the 9.9 thresh-hold) which I am sure you've noticed the person who started it acknowledges it to be as much. I did not respond to @kano's comment because I felt embarrased for having indulged him in the joke, not because he said anything I did not know.
So all in all, I am sure you know who the fool here is .... it certainly is neither @kano nor me ... lets see!

Always baffles me how the pool can go so long without a block then two are struck down almost consecutively.

... because luck is a measure of the past and finding a block is not affected by the last time you found one.
(and the human mind tends to remember the extreme and forget the average)

Yup, I think the phenomenon that SargeR33 observes isn't just confined to mining pools, I get this feeling when I play in casinos too!

[FabioCarpi]

please implement the block version 3

[bigbitmine]

Oh bugger, I just sent it over 10PH/s.  Got bored and pointed 140TH/s at Slush.  I've now sent them back where they belong.  My apologies if I've kicked off a 24hr block.

Is it possible you might have helped? Just found another block after I saw it over 10 PH/s...

[SargeR33]

Looks like there was a good run today! Unfortunate my miners are still off but definitely not worth leaving them on waiting for 5 blocks in a day. We might crack 50,000,000,000 on the next difficulty. Definitely a huge turn off.

[pekatete]

Haha ....! New webfront is down for maintanance (but minig is OK) ..... can only mean one thing ..... we gotta get new gizmos! Can't wait to take a a peak.

Hello guyz,
After the maintenance, i get this msg : "Ceci n'est pas une adresse Bitcoin valide. Veuillez installer un client Bitcoin ou vous inscrire sur un web Porte-monnaie pour en avoir un."

I'm using a Blockchain address, what's wrong with that?

Edit: I have saved as it was, and looks fine now.

[bigbitmine]

Makes me wonder if these sites are linked.  Slush, Betarigs & Nicehash all added "features" and done maintenance at silly times over last 24 hours.

[bigbitmine]

Ok, 1st time I've seen this little issue.  3 of my miners say last share was 7 minutes ago but are still happily mining away.  Their own share counts increasing as usual.  Should I be concerned?

Pool is synchronizing .... that should explain that
Hopefully by the time the synchronizing is over, the 14 hr block will be history too .. with a couple of blocks in there as well.

Back to normal.  No luck shaking that block though.

It's finally done.  Just short of 20 hours.  Lets hope for a burst of blocks.

[bigbitmine]

I think I'm the curse.  Just took my miners offline for a while and missed all those great quick blocks.  Typical!

I hope you found luck wherever you chose to go, but I am sure you'll understand when I say: Please stay where you are! We've been fine without you hanging around!

Don't worry.  Maintenance done and they're all back again.

[rpandassociates]

HAHAHA
NOT FUNNY
I too missed this last round of luck, I was off mining ecash though and turned a comparable profit.

going over the records though I still see the correlation between 10PH and long block times most of those good blocks were found at less than 10PH it crossed 10PH a cpl times and those block times were 3+hrs and 5+hrs but atleast they were not 20+hrs

So I am back today unless this block crosses 8hrs which well is most likely after that round yesterday I am sure the pool out of luck till tomorrow.

But yes once again i side with you BigBitMine everytime i leave.

and again I am questioning mining here as yes the occasional good day is great but it never offsets those bad days in the end monthly payout is impacted for the negative.

[rpandassociates]

also i experienced something odd here today
none of my S4's would connect

I had a suffix in the worker names of S41 S42 etc.
when i changed this to no capital i.e. s41 s42 etc.
they all connected
I have always connected with the capital S before, very odd

[rpandassociates]

are there any special settings for the S5 like the S4 ?

AFAIK the S5 uses essentially the same backend and interface as the S4/S3.
