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

IIRC Slushpool used to show how much Namecoin you earned per block like Bitcoin and had you could see all the stats like Bitcoin. Not sure why they stopped displaying it. It's not a whole lot per block anyways, you're probably making pennies a day in NMC per day. Not incredibly noticeable, but it amounts to a couple extra bucks per year.

It's not even pennies...maybe a few pennies a month.

I take a pass on SPV pools like antpoopoo

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?

You shouldn't be sure until you actually research it.  Dual mining uses the same hashes for both coins at the same time so it's not like they are stealing your hashrate to mine namecoin.  There should be no loss other than if the system is less stable or crashes due to increased complexity.

Got it. Today's luck confirmed it

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
 

I never said that the pool was somehow stealing our hashrate and yes, correlation between luck and hash power is almost zero but it does addup!

Slushpool mines like antpool sad!

Sad! I have transactions that need verifying!

503,136   antPool     12.50000000 BTC
503,135   antPool     12.50000000 BTC

Yes, no transactions paid out to miners...completely stupid to mine there.

Again, while slush is a good pool compared to antpool, leaving out all the smaller pools with a lower fee than slush makes the results misleading.

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

Give it a bit.......it will be there.

Slush is mining empty blocks!!?!?

slush has been mining empty blocks for a VERY LONG time.
See here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1085800.msg11611896#msg11611896

Edit: every block change work you get from slush is an empty block, followed by normal block work a bit later.
Thus they find empty blocks every so often.

Kano, you should implement payout thresholds on your pool and some of us would come back

I agree with you, but don't hold me responsible for the website owner's oversight lol.

I posted it twice, don't exaggerate things - "over and over" makes it sound like I spammed it everywhere I could. Although the link is not to your linking cause it does not include your pool it none the less proves a point about Antpool which is why I posted it. Yes it is misleading I am not going to argue against that.

Also, why don't you work towards better marketing your pool and improve the end user experience if you want to attract more hashing power? I'm almost 100% sure the author of that site did not include your pool because he/she likely does not even know your pool exists.

What I'm saying is that it is very easy for you to post on a forum and point out this and that, but if you would've spend some more time on improving your pool I don't see any reason why your pool should not be in the top 3. The way I see it Slush, Kano, and your pool are the only 3 pools that are actually friends of bitcoin. The "good guy" pools need to work on their marketing and end user experience if they want to compete with the mega Chinese pools.

Don't forget Eligius, Bitminter, Jonny's mining emporium, mmpool and p2pool. My pool is completely free so I don't see much point in pushing it, advertising it, or working on a fancy front end given that fact. If people see the merit in a free pool that's good for bitcoin, they will get on board regardless of the lack of fancy front end. However, most people sheep their way to mine with antpool and co.

Oh wow is Eligius still up and running? It's been a long time since I used to mine there.

The technically savvy among miners will get on board in spite of the lack of those features you mentioned, but the majority of miners like some decent stats page and other such niceties or dare I say "luxuries". It would be nice to attract some of these sheep miners. Sheep need to be guided so they don't wonder into the stomping grounds of the big bad wolf.

Send me a PM when you get a chance. If there is some help I can send your way to cover the costs of a nicer interface for the pool I'll see what I can do.

Hello. I just joined slush pool today. Is there away to see who solved each block? I'd like to be able to look up if I ever solved one with my miner. Thank you

[rotem8866]

my last payout from slush giving "Transaction not found"
why it happening ?
