Hi!
Does anybody have problems with workers' hashrate and  scoring hashrate at SlushPool? Problem has occurred tommorow morning and today, hashrate range increased. Some workers sometimes change their status to "low".
Ping is normal, about 50-60ms. I use this pool first week, and first several days all were excellent.
I just need to know, could it be problems with a pool, or i have to look for them at my side. (Miners' statuses on web interface are normal and usual)

usually a block is solved under 1 hour but the last one  8h40min and still going... is this broken or what ?
(sorry if i sound like a noob i`m new in mining)

No you are just dealing with the variance in Mining.

If you notice the CDF blue bar it only hit 100% about 45 minutes ago or something. That is the expected time between blocks. 

before this "drought" we'll call it we hit 10 in under 12 hours, it's just about the evening out.

The CDF of a single block is basically meaningless unless it gets over 1000% diff ...

The number that miners should be looking at, is the CDF[Erlang] of a range of blocks.
Though I expect that is beyond the level of analysis of this pool
(since they were clearly doing no useful analysis at all from 2010 to Dec 2015 when that major problem occurred that cost all the miners on this pool a very large amount of BTC)

Luck isn't expected to correct itself, or even itself out, it's simply expected to approach 100%

Thank you for the corrections. I know enough to know you are right, lol.

I was only speaking to the very basic theory of probability.

Congrats on recouping some of your pools hashrate over the past month, if I ever get everything stable again I'll gladly return

Fellas, I am really sorry for the question, but I am new to Slushpool and have been browsing to find an option for hash rate alert (email or phone notification). I know it is possible as it is written in the Help article. I also read that you must switch on reporting first in Slush, but  I can't seem to find how to. Any hint will be appreciated, in the mean time I continue googling.

Go to "settings" -- in the upper left quadrant, click on "Bitcoin" -- then click on "Monitoring".

You can also edit each worker to set your monitoring limits.

Thank you! Worked like a charm, appreciated.

Hello! Could I mine etherium on your pool?

Hello! Could I mine etherium on your pool?

Here on Slush? No. Only BTC and ZCash.

Hey all. Just joined Slush with my 2 new miners yesterday. Question - the 2 workers I made and named show "Off" even though I am mining with them and used them setting up my pool config.
There is a 3rd miner that it looks like Slush made for me, that shows OK and has mining stats next to it but I never used it in setting up my miners. What did I do wrong? I appear to be hashing fine and with both miners, so maybe nothing to worry about?

Slush (and most other pools) will auto create your workers based on what you enter into the "Worker" field on the Miner Config of your hardware.   (e.g., AcccountName.Worker)

Does your hash rate of the 3rd miner equal the combined rate of your miners?   Sounds like you might not have entered the .WorkerName differently on each miner?

It does equal my total hash rate yes. I used a 1 and 2 after my worker names when setting up the miners. Actually even copy and pasted the worker names from the add worker screen in slush right over to the antminer miner config page.

badaspsvt1.creanis1
badaspsvt1.creanis2

are the 2 workers I used

but Miner1 is what slush self added

Guys, a question, me and some associates of mine just joined slush pool with a bunch of S9's.

We noticed that the min threshold for fee-less payout is 0.01 btc so we are thinking of how to optimize cash outs.
I came up to the following scenario, has anyone else done it, I assume all should work like a charm.

1. Set the automatic payout limit to a very high value like 2-3 btc (below is explained why)

2. When we have accumulated enough (for us) rewards (but less than 2-3 btc), each of us will point the payout address to his own wallet i.e. guy A will point to Coinbase - cash out his part, then guy B to Bitfinex and cash out his part, then guy C to Nano S etc.

So basically a few times we'll change the payout address, I guess Slush will allow that.

From the same account?  You have to confirm each payout address change before slush will allow the address change.   Sounds like more hassle then it's worth.

This was exactly my question - is this an email confirmation or? Is there a risk that Slush deny it etc. I just can't think of a more optimal way. If we cash out to 1 address  (no hassle) and then from this address we transfer to our personal ones, we'll have to pay fees too many times.

Thanks,

It is an email confirmation, but I'm betting if you change it too many times within an hour/day, it may get locked.  You could just change it every time you hit a threshold (say .04 or .05), then move it to the next wallet address.

That's the only way.
Once you set your limit lower than the amount you have, slush will transfer all the funds at once

hopefully only a small bit of education.

Jumped in a couple of days ago with 20THs.  Scored on the first block from last night.  Watched it mature, and the payment and reward show on my account.  So when do the actual transfer happen to my wallet?  Just checked and nothing so far?  Is there a built in delay that I failed to read the memo on?

Thanks in advance,

you have to get up to .01 before getting paid...(you can get paid on smaller amounts but there's a fee).

ah... perfect... Wasn't sure if there was a min.  and I know that Kano is working on making that selectable... perfect, it was only .001 so it will just have to wait ... thanks  for the reply

You can get paid at .001 but there's a fee.  No reason unless you truly need that .001 that badly.  lol
