Results of the study on #20872:
I finally solved the problem, with Slush Customer Support's help.
edit setup.py
find "-march=native", change the value to "armv6j"

Anyone having any issues with Slush's? My miners keep dropping to 30gh/s yesterday and today (not that it matters with how long the current block is). They'll run a while and drop to 30, doesn't appear to be an Internet problem either.

I am using stratum+tcp://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 and didn't have any problems. What miners are you using? Are you sure the PSUs supply enough power? Do you have many rejects, hw errors?

[lemmyK]

Today after the third afternoon when the pool ran on the normal value around 15.00 ph/s  someone joins, and right now the values are around 19.23 -19.00 ph/s ... 
luck  is 0% for the day. fantastic thank you..........

Well AntPool had a pretty bad streak as well. 8 hours and no found blocks with 64+ ph/s yesterday. I bet we will find 10+ blocks tomorrow.

[lemmyK]

aah ok, thank you for info

[man114]

It's a 1TH Visionman I'm running on there at the moment. That's the same stratum I'm using.

It'll run for a while, then start getting loads of rejects. At first I thought it was my internet connection so I rebooted my routers yesterday, it ran for a while then did it again. I flipped it over to a backup pool I mine on with another miner and it worked fine on there. I went in the settings and tried to various things like load balancing it with another pool and Slush's, when I load balanced on the other pool with Slush's it stopped hashing properly on both, maybe running at half for like 20 minutes, then after a while Slush's would drop back to 30gh/s now the other pool gets all the work. I can't see anything weird going on. I'll mess around with more stuff while they're on this long block.

not trolling / asking honest question

i have been doing research on bitcoin pool luck

15 petahash and no block in over 24 hours (am i wrong?)

Could some of that 15 petahash be block witholding attacks onyour pool ?

I notice in the past month you & btc guild have had a string of real bad luck.

Over time the guild worse than you.

I don't like to say this stuff but no one else seems to want to bring it up & i don't even mine on your pool.

Look , I have no formal education in mathematics but I suggest you do a small statistical analysis if you mine at 15 peta hash w/ current network difficulty for this long ten million times.
See how often you have the current 'luck' you have.

Also if it was anyone but you or the guild / I could say someone on the inside is dishonest.

I refuse to believe the oldest / first pool would start pulling shit now -- NO WAY.


anyone agree ?? disagree

[man114]

My problem seems to have resolved itself oddly enough.

In regards to the current block it happens ever so often they get an insanely long block like this. I've noticed they seem to hit more blocks in the 14-15 range, a while back it seemed like if hash rate went beyond a certain level they'd start getting fewer blocks. It's probably pure coincidence.

[dmwardjr]

It's amazing how small GHash has become.  They have gone from 66 PH/s to 7.4 PH/s

Yes, we do have insanely slow blocks like this on occasions.

Yes, that's always possible.  However, I don't believe that is the case this time.  We have stayed around this hash rate for at least the last 30 days now. 

I just don't believe we have anyone up to mischief on this pool.  It's a good pool.  I've mined here and btcguild for months at a time.  I've been back here since March 29, 2015.  I've enjoyed my time here.  It's a good pool.

[k3nnyx]

Last block found was 1 day ++... Sad and quiet day for slush's pool!

Can only hope the blocks start falling down like rain after this! 

[needmoney]

Last block 34 hours ago
What's going on ?

[Moebius327]

Last block 34 hours ago

I have no idea what's going on. We had some pretty bad luck before that block as well. Maybe there is something wrong with this pool after all.

[k3nnyx]

Whats happening? Time to switch pools?

Quite alot of miners to change over! 

Anyone have any thoughts?

Variance kicking us in the gut... nothing else to see here

[Moebius327]

Yes I trust Slush as well, pretty sure we will hit the next block within few hours. It is a bit painful though. 

[Suleiman the Magnificent]

I wonder how much longer that can not be found ? Record was broken but block not broken

[Darthswan]

I enjoy these long periodic blocks, it thins out the herd.
