Something similar happened early last year if you look back once the hash rate went above a certain threshold blocks started taking forever.

The interesting part was people started to get fed up, so they started mining elsewhere and the hash rate dropped off substantially, then blocks started coming left and right. I even dug out some old Block Erupter cubes at the time and set them up. Obviously this was short lived then things reached a middle ground and now it seems we're right back at that point.

The higher hash less blocks scenario has been going on since I started mining.  Seems like every time it goes up fewer blocks.  Goes back down more blocks start hitting.

Move on i did

[FUBAR-BDHR]

Move on i did

I'll move on (well quit) soon enough but not because of anything with the pool it's the cost of electric.  As soon as it gets warm out I'm switching to just buying.  Can't afford over $300 worth of electric for half a bitcoin without the offset of heating my house.

I am looking for another pool as well. People suggested Kano.is. But I don't see much different.

Yes this is my second year mining and I learned that buy low sell high works too. Like you  I'm thinking the same cause last year the basement was warm.

Last 2 winters I heated my entire house with just the miners.  Had to move most outside for summer.

I wasn't getting any reward for a while, switched to f2pool.

It's called bad luck.  It happens.  So does good luck and there has been more good than bad on Slush over the years.

there is much different. give it a try and you will see.

Really? What's you evidence for this?

Over long terms a pool's "luck" should be neutral ... unless there is something else biasing it which would be of interest to me.

Historical luck has always been over 100% since I started mining.  It drops but the long term average always seems to be around 102% or more.  I haven't checked recently though so it's possible it could have dipped.  Kind of not interested in mining since I'm going to have to quit due to electric costs.

Hey peeps, I've been mining on Slush since the Antminer S1 days. That being said, currently im expanding my operation and would like to hear from you experts regarding where to take my 11th/s hash power. To either stay at Slush or move on to different pool. on this regard I am currently making enough BTC to pay for my electric and my miners will get paid off within 3 months (before the halving event) which is awesome. My 11th/s will impact my shares in slush, thus will get higher reward, but the luck lately has been down and i read much of the discussion on this thread. Any suggestion or point to a direction will be much appreciated!!

If your looking for steady return you can always split your hash between pools to balance out the luck

These past couple of days are turning out to be painful.

These past couple of days are turning out to be painful.  

honestly i dont get it.. We tried to warn you all months ago.. then organofcorti came in and defended slush with his stats that clearly show a problem..    MOVE TO KANO.IS.. problems go away.. less headache.. and he is active in the community..

Dont bitch about it if your going to stay here..

AND again i see the stats are despicable..  Pool Luck (1 day, 7 days, 30 days):   16%, 85%, 85%  At this point i don't pity anyone who mines here.. youve been warned!
                                                               Pool Effective Hash Rate (30 min average):   50.15 Ph/s
                                                                  Pool actual hashrate        (30 min average):  15 ph/s

Current Round Duration   23:00:00 
Current Shares CDF:   99.71%    @50ph/s   

there i corrected it for you all

and with slush inefficiencies.. they have to go to another pool.. so let see where is all the blocks being found at.. at least above average.. slush is killing his miners.

should not go on antpool that takes many blocks?  why go to Kano?

[d57heinz]

because if you believe in what btc stands for you wouldn't support a pool backed by bitmain and china is encroaching on 80 % of the network share.. And kano pays tx fees.  and just look at the stats  speak for themself


OHH and one HUGE one if you ask me.. Kano also does not allow miners that withhold blocks to continue to fuck over the users.. Id say thats enough incentive there!  Hey slush how about some details on the hardware of that with holding attack? ya thats what i thought .. something is very fishy here to say the least.. maybe the OP speed of the pool is the true speed .. That would be about right.. so again its the same 10 ph miner fucking the pool over Or this is slush stealing.. Only two options!.  quick way to check for that is that all of the blocks rewards are paid out.. there should be nothing left over from the blocks once paid out.. except for slush 2 % cut.. which he doesnt deserve.. IMO  another reason to move to kano.. he has excellent accounting.. you get paid when the block matures.  much more transparent as you can see where all the block rewards go..

Honestly if you want to be 100 % safe you have to go solo.. but then you risk that you get orphans. basically for the small guy its an end game.. bottom line..  i dont see many little guys left after the halving .. Which is all part of the big boys plan.. squeeze us all out.. still no sign of 16 nm miners.. doubt public ever see its .. if they do it will be once they have perfected it and sell us the junk. like always.. we are always one or maybe two steps behind the manufacturers..  Sad being how it was the community that brought this all up.. Just like every industry they step on all the little guys to make it big.. then leave us for dead.. Such a sad system!
