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

I just hooked up a s9 Antminer and cannot get worker state to turn on my account eventhough the miner has been mining for a couple hours.  I do have the URL correct and the worker correct in the miner.  Please assist it may sound like a crazy question but I cannot figure it out.  Thanks in advance.

lol it does sound like a crazy question 

As long as you got the right Stratum address and the worker name is correct AND created on the pool side it should all work without any problems.

Did you hit "Save and Apply" in Cgminer?  Also, just because the miner is making noise doesn't mean that it is mining.  You are labeled as a newbie, so I'm not sure if you understand this concept.  I use Avalon miners and the light on the back of the miner has to be green, not yellow, to denote active mining.  I'm not sure how it works on S9s, but it is probably similar.

Post your Antminer status page screen shot so we can help

Did anyone else notice an unusual delay in sending payments earlier today/last night? The suspicious side of me wonders if this has anything to do with the btc gold fork. I may be way off the mark and it was a technical glitch but the timing is just too convenient for me....

With the hundreds (likely thousands) of BTC slush has, seems unlikely they'd mess with payouts so they can get a couple of a soon to be worthless alt coin.

Probably my overly suspicious mind working overtime!

Is there any way to see beyond the 250 block stats listed of how Slushpool's luck has been? Honestly it seems like it's been bad for many months, but that could be me just checking in on it during the bad luck periods.

Last 6 months it found 5% of all blocks  ( https://btc.com/stats/pool/SlushPool )

Does Slush pay transaction fees as well?

Yes!

Do payouts from slushpool come from a recently-mined block?  I'm wondering if this could be used to get coins guaranteed to be from after a fork, to mix with the rest of my wallet for replay protection.

server down?

server down?

Server down, it's over.  Shut the entire thing down.

Meanwhile miners just keep going.

Hope it's just the frontend, that's nearly 800PH

edit: and it's back!

Partially answering my own question: at least in the payout I got today, one of the inputs was from newly-generated coin from the same block.  So I guess the answer is yes, though I don't know if this behavior is guaranteed.

Is it just me or does the password reset email never get sent?

I've waited 24 hours and requested twice.

Hi all! I see that OP has not been changed for a long, long time. There is even no modern URL of Slush's pool... 

So I have a question. Do I still need to manually create workers on Slush's pool? Or it can (as IMHO it should) automatically detect and create worker, like Kano.is do?

What do you mean there is no modern URL for Slush's pool? There is! Check out slushpool.com.

I think the pool does not automatically create worker names.  However it does accept shares from worker names that do not exist on the pool web interface so your miners work is not wasted. So no biggie, just manually create the worker name eventually.

He mean't that the opening post is very old and has not been updated for a while.

My bad, I'm a bit sleepy here lol. Yeah I don't think the Slushpool team monitors this thread anymore.
