Hi,
I have a question. I am a small miner (1x5870) and was wondering if bigger miners, that happen to solve a full bitcoin block from time to time for the pool are able to cheat in the following way:
in case the share solution is also a solution for the full blockchain block, disconnect from the pool and submit the solution just using their own bitcoin client
This way the miner could double its income by getting paid for useless shares by the pool and cashing in the 50BTC for the full solution for themselves from time to time. Are there any safeguards against this type of cheating in place? This is impossible. The client can't do this because he lacks some data about the block. But even if he can, the 50 BTC generation will be accounted to pool's address anyway. |

Slush, This looks a little hinkey to me. Any idea why the two blocks are so low on payout for the ones I marked with "**"?
On the 2nd one Cluster GHash/s is blank as well.
Block looks fine, there wasn't any pool issue during this time. Probably network issue on your side. Do you have any log of network activity? |

Nobody mentioned that this is LulzSecs public donation address? Doesn't prove anything, but still interesting, no? |

Current round duration: 5:16:35  I cross-checked everything on pool and there's nothing suspicious. It's just long round :-). It is currently around 6x more than difficulty (should be 1x in average), but it's still not the worst round in history. |
