But my other question is that before the ddos and now i seem to have a reward of 30% less. My cards are the same and my hash rate has gone up by 2%.

Would it be possible to get a maintenance mode? Yesterday I had to wait for more then 4 hours for block to end so I could shout down miners for some maintenance. I'm not asking for much but to be able to use this option 1 per mount and rewords would be calculated not with slash method but with some other more linear one for block when it was started... Or maybe with slash but it would use the time of the start of maintenance mode as a end of a block... If this is too difficult I understand and I have a work around. When I plan to do that and I don't forget I switch to BTC Guild and PPS at earlier time so I can turn down miners whenever I like. But I would like to see a way to do it without waiting for the end of a block.
Perhaps a better way to ask would be "Slush can we have PPS here to and I don't mind paying a little extra. Please?" However on average it doesn't matter when you shut your miners down for maintenance if it's often enough. Over time, your earnings will be than better than on a PPS pool with a greater fee. Good idea. Switch to PPS at the end of the block option... b Well, no. Because payout is proportional, you'd have to have PPS from the start of a block. And if you look from statistical point solo would be the best way to go. Did any of that in near past?
No. Why? OK we tough the same thing... So yes when the block finish it switches automatic to PPS... And I wouldn't care if it is limited to lets say 1 day per mount. Why solo. It is best long turn solution. Best payout... Since you told me that if I'm doing enough maintenance it doesn't mater...

Speaking of ' Weird Block ' ... since having to kill all the blocks my wallet had and restarting my PC ( and reloading the backup wallet ) I have yet to get more than 3 connections to the bitcoin network and re-re-re-download any blocks....
Not going to blame anyone, just thought it was weird and with the random DDoS attacks that have been reported lately kinda makes the paranoid inside me wonder if there isn't some US government conspiracy going on since it is a decentralized currency they have no influence over ( unless they started their own mining pool )......
any one else have to kill the wallet's data files and not get any blocks in the last ..... 24 hours? ( -8 GMT at 5pm Pacific time )

I had a problem with Bitcoin-QT throwing corrupted database errors. Even deleting and re-sync the block chain I had the same error. I backed up my wallet.dat file and used an online wallet since then.

I had a problem with Bitcoin-QT throwing corrupted database errors. Even deleting and re-sync the block chain I had the same error. I backed up my wallet.dat file and used an online wallet since then. I just updated my wallet after a week or so with bitcoin-qt - didn't see any errors. The DDoS attacks were anything but random - they were an ill-conceived attempt to manipulate the difficulty update. If I had more time, I'd try to calculate the effectiveness of it, but i'm certain it had very little effect coming so late in the cycle, and particularly with the fluidity of the mining public. I'm sure most miners simply think of BTC as a bit of a game to play, but we are involved in a very serious business which is coming under exceptional pressures.

I resolved my wallet issues from a few pages ago. The next question coming out of the IRC chat room is, will FAQBot return? He's been gone since the DoSSes happened, and we miss our notifications of a new block being found.

Uff, there're too much posts since my last visit on friday. Shortly: a) Yes, I fixed one round yesterday, where rewards were calculated wrongly. b) Pool works since DDoS. If you have connection issues, you've probably wrong DNS records. Never ever use direct IPs,as I'm moving Stratum backends between servers/datacenters. c) Database crashed few minutes ago. I fixed it in ~15 minutes, mining backends worked all time so no block has been lost. Just shares were not counted for this period. Everything is working normally again, just statistics are now screwed up because of database downtime. d) FAQbot is up again

Thanks for keeping a sharp eye, everyone. I'm not currently paying such close attention to the blocks and rewards, since I'm assuming everything is working as planned. It's nice to know there are people with their finger on the pulse, and a responsible sysop that is fixing things.

With all these repeat questions and impossible requests, I don't think I would be quite so civil. Although, i guess it's easy to not be an ass online. Just don't post... lol And to all those looking for Slush to redo the algorithm to include PPS at the end of the round... It will never happen. IF the algorithm gets changed, it will be to DGM, or some other hopping proof method. It's a HUGE undertaking to change how the payouts are calculated, and to add in any form of PPS would be a step back in the consistency of payouts from this pool.

I like the method how it is, I sometimes loose out when the time resets because i'm a slow miner, but, sometimes I earn more because of a lucky few quick submissions before the end. I love the lottery element and still make more than doing PPS even when times are rough. and, thanks Slush, you seem a really sound geezer  K.

I am happy with the score based calculation as well, re-introducing PPS would not be a good idea. Supporting multiple payout plans would just add unnecessary complexity and demand a lot of effort. Having said this, I do have some thoughts on the periodic resets: - I could not find the periodic reset documented at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1976.msg50002#msg50002 which is the "official description" of how rewards are calculated AFAIK.
- Theoretically, the exponential nature of the scoring algorithm without the resets would do a great job against hopping.
- In practice, for long running rounds, the scores might get very large, causing an arithmetic overflow. Maybe this is the only reason for the resets, but I am just guessing. If so, a mathematically correct fade out instead of the reset might be a viable option.
I might be missing something, so just correct me in case... Cheers, T
