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

[Witrebel]

made the move to Kanos pool as well.  Just need to figure out a proxy solution for my tubes.  Hopefully this is just configuration issues and not something more nefarious on the operators part.

Moved half my gear to Kano as well as something isn't right with this pool anymore.

Thanks so much for explaining that to me.. Would love to add my personal pool but then it would be exposed.. So basically you take cgminer.. Add all your stratums of the pools you want to include and then either be watching for block changes and see when the pools all receive a change.. or like you said use an api and display it on a site like that .. Thats Really cool! Lots of good info to be had there!!  Hope im understanding this correctly.

Edit>>Would you have to turn on load balance to see all the pools block change or does it monitor the pools for changes always.. I know it keeps tabs on whether the pool is up or not.

Technically it is a log-parser not an API, the data is dynamically generated from cgminer logs. There are a few minor patches to cgminer to get it to log the relevant data needed for poolbench. I do have it in load balance mode although I'm not entirely sure that's required.

Looks like that 8PH were withholding... The moment they were gone luck is up... And it is the right percentage to take 30 days average to the level it was... But time will tell

What is going on? After 10 TH/s left the pool, the rewards are picking up again!

Very strange, has anyone noticed NMC - seems to have stalled - the 14th @ 18:40 being the first block stuck on processing.....

[FUBAR-BDHR]

So did anyone else notice that luck went down the tubes right after the announcement they they were going to return the option of voting for XT with hashing?  I've been wondering if it some kind of new attack on the pool.

Interesting, this might have been a block withholding attack, it is impossible to conclusively prove however. Our luck has returned fortunately.

ugh 14+ hr round

Haha. Indeed. Are there ways to prove if there was an attack?

And things have taken a slow down again - notice that the NMC mining has caught up to a "normal" position, my feeling is that the recent behavior is linked to NMC mining, might be a million miles off but the pattern is looking suspect to me....

[sbtctalk]

I read that this pool supports and rewards loyal miners. Is that true?

Other pools are subject to the same attacks, e.g. block withholding, especially PPS pools where the attack comes straight out of the pocket of the pool operators.

No it happened before that...

7 th/s joined the pool today..

7 th/s joined the pool today..

Surely you mean 7 PH/s

I used antpool and slush, and let me tell you, antpool got many blocks, but slush is more reliable and fair. Remember antpool cheated a lot of their miners by hiding blocks etc.
Slush would never do that.. never.

I disagree,
I think slush is cheating you right now,
These pool owners know the tricks to manipulate the pool and fill their own wallets...
Amazing how things start to rectify once 10Ph leaves the pool,
This is the owner making sure he can afford that new house or vacation overseas, its just greed.
One person (owner) prioritizing their needs ahead of all the workers that actually make the pool.
And its definitely cheating.

And it takes a real coward to do it in such a deviant and sly manner....
Still no comment from the pool owner......
You dont think thats odd....

Haha. Yes i meant 7 ph/s

These are hard accusatuions, can you provide some evidence?

Well I'm sure he can't. But that's the problem with closed source pool software.  Least with Kano he is open source    
 the whole issue is you shouldn't have to put trust in the pool op.  Satoshi original ideal of decentralization would have worked had slush not been greedy and started the first pool to what.  Gain the system by combining power of many users hash.  Now that diff is where it is and we have so much hash sadly it's the only way unless you have good luck and 160 ths so you can pay the bills a month.  Need to at least be hashing at speed high enough to find a block once a month or you get further out of pocket.  I think honestly asics destroyed what Bitcoin was originally.  Just my two bits anyway. Now we just have to figure out where it goes from here
