... you are a dickhead ...

You seem to use this sentence too often when talking to others. Maybe you should stop looking in the mirror while posting

two days ago I was barely hitting my payout. These past two days I've collected my annual payout nearly twice to three times a day. I'm loving this pool luck!!!

It might be dead for the next 3days

It might be dead for the next 3days

Why do you say that?

[Sir Alan]

Three in a row — nice!   

[CarrollFilms]

I'm hashing blocks left and right. Today is a good day.

[ZephramC]

ok..you are a senior member and do not get the withholding attack ideea?

Which one? Do you mean Finney attack (committed by the pool and buyer against some merchant)? Or do you mean block withholding attack committed by individual miner against mining pool?
If there is another kind of withholding attack I would be delighted to know.

Must be a lot of new hardware going online for the pool. Saw a drastic jump to 76.00 Ph/s. Could've sworn it was 68/69 at least two hours ago.

I saw it reach 82,10 Ph/s at one point, and one block was found when the rate was 81,32.  But every time somebody throws a huge amount of extra power into the mix the only effect seems to be to reduce the amount we get paid per block — my subjective view is that the pool doesn't actually appear to benefit by mining additional blocks.

Generally, the bigger the pool the lower the variance -- and all miners want lower variability in their income, right?

What all miners want is more profit, yet they always get hung up on variance and it they end up choosing the lower variance option over better profits to their own detriment. It's a pattern that hasn't changed in years... I praise the pool ops who have the stamina to explain it over and over and over and over and over and over and...

[Sir Alan]

my subjective view is that the pool doesn't actually appear to benefit by mining additional blocks.

By which I meant that the extra hashing power doesn't seem to result in additional blocks being mined – at least, not conspicuously so – but I haven't looked at the figures in detail.

I kinda jumped the gun there, huh.

Sorry, my fault for being ambiguous.

Slush is mining 0x8000004 blocks. What is that?

[cryptme]

Slushpool is at between 70-80 Ph/s, yet no blocks are discovered.
On the 19-th there were 19 blocks found
On the 20-th 2 blocks
Today until now 1 block.
How is this working? Do  they have some problem or just ... luck?

Hi, these are BitPay's blocks

slush pool seems to have turned into a testbed for code. If you trust this pool is always working 100% then mine on  its prolly just luck;)....

Hi, firstly thanks for being with us. I can confirm that we do not experience issues with our infrastructure It is just a bad luck which we experience from time to time like any other pool.
