Talking about pool luck is like talking about the weather  Just pay no attention to it and get on with your life. In the end come rain or shine bad or good luck you will still make the same amount of BTC

Thanks,
I just started in the last 2 weeks, and freaked out when almost whole week is  below average. that is 50% of mining time for me.   I hope it will even out soon.

It will that's how probability and averages go. Just before you got on we hit a ridiculous amount of blocks, and had been hovering above average for quite some time.

Now the numbers have done what numbers do, they've averaged out and will continue to do so.

Just sit back enjoy the ride and be glad you get the miners fees.

I honestly wish some of these idiots who have zero understanding of luck would just shut the F up... oh noes slush is not getting exactly x amount of blocks per day so im moving because another got more.. good f off then 

[ikovalyov]

I made a little research and found that slushpool doesn't mine segwit blocks. Is it really so? Does anybody know when they will support wegwit if it is?

you cant fix stupid..... i spilt my mining power between slush and antpool myself

but hey i got called stupid for mining in antpool in another board haha

you are stupid for mining on antpool

Is there something going on with the us-east connection?

Twice in the last 24 hours I've noticed my hash-rate went to about 30% of normal throughput and cgminer switched me to an alternate pool address.

My miners haven't hiccuped and show normal hash-rates - but the effective hashrate on the dashboard dropped dramatically.

First occurrence was at 23:15 CST on Jan 3
Second was at 10:40 CST on Jan 4.

Yep, why give them the transaction fees?

They actually pay fees if you use PPS+, but I tried it and made much less than on slush even on a bad day.

Yep, just say no.  Slush isn't the best but it's 10X antpoo...

my pending payment from 1st of december just disapeared from coinbase. it was 0.01btc an it was pending for month. does it mean i will never get it back?

Im also using us.east and my miners have been up and down even now.

Just reached my payout threshold, Slush gave me a payout transaction ID, yet when I click the transaction id it says "not found"

So where the hell is my bitcoin.

Here is the transaction id....  87652306ec238f14ccdc814dec79e3add6467055f48bce565f26e487d970c117

Thanks.  Anyone else seeing this?  Three pretty major drops in hash rate and more variability than normal.

At one point cgminer even switched over to an alternate address....

New miner here, but I also noticed a somewhat dramatic drop in rate, even tho my miner says otherwise.  Happened most pointedly this morning (us time) around 17:00z and after.  Still isn't what I would consider normal.  And I'm also on the us.xxx stratum.

In parallel my ZEC miner shows a similar drop during a similar time just as an additional datapoint (both are using slush)

Mine too. My hash power were registering real low, and I went into Antminer stats page and it showed that it was just basically bouncing back and forth in their different stratums.

Hey one question guys. Slush luck s*cked ass lately, eventhough they've doubled in hash power. And I've just figured that we're also mining Namecoin. We don't even get paid for it. Do we..? No. Right? Even if we did, it wouldn't really be worth it because splitting few $ between hundreds of thousands of machines is just stupid. So, why don't we just freaking drop it? Maybe it's stealing our hashrate and we're finding namecoin blocks instead of BTC blocks.

I'm sure dual mining affects our performance.

Can somebody correct me if I'm wrong?

Hello all,

I need some help guys. My problem with Slushs pool is following:

I used to mine BTC in 2013 in Slushs pool. I mined 0,088 and something BTC and never reach the payout threshold, which was 1 BTC. In that times I had at my computer installed Qt-wallet. I added one address to payout address and then I locked the payout address against hackers. But I never used payout to this address, so everything is OK. Later in 2014 I had to reinstall my computer, and I didnt make backup from my Qt-wallet. And now in these days if I want change my locked payout address, the support from Slushs pool still tells me this is not possible. I dont understand why it is not possible. Also communicating with support is really hard, they answer me after 5 days, then after 7 days and now I am waiting to answer 8th day.  Now I dont know what to do, or whom to write about my problem.
Is there possibility to lost my mined BTC?  Want they stole me my mined BTC?

Thanks for helping me and sorry for my english, its not my mother tongue.

The namecoins the pool miners get converted automatically to btc and given to YOU. The pool is not "stealing your hashrate"

Also there is no correlation between luck and hashing power. I wish someone with a mathematics degree would come here and lay down some serious talk about probability just to confuse all the people that bring up this word "luck" until they never mention it again. Luck is random. Repeat after me..I will never complain about pool luck for as long as I mine, so help me god. lol
