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

[sbtctalk]

i now only mine my own pools, after witnessing no blocks in a period of time, then the day after blocks appearing in wrong order, claiming to be found 18 hours ago, when last block was found 2 hours ago obvious manipulation, but could also be the looking after loyal miners thing

How do the loyalty system works at slush pool?

i dont actually know for certain, but like i said above, i witnessed about an 18 hour period with no blocks found at all, the day after a block was added into my reward history which didnt fit with all the others, block above it needed something like 99 confirms, the block before it needed about 5 confirms, but the added block was confirmed 18 hours previous, im assuming this was the loyalty system, either that or they were hiding blocks from the miners, then re adding the hidden blocks at a later date... i do fully accept there could have also been pool issues, crons not running correctly and then relaunching the crons could account for the odd block in reward history. sorry i couldn't be any more helpful :/

Sounds from what you are saying, it is merely listing the newest blocks found on the top and rather than listing conformations it is stating how many conformations are left.  99 confirms left indicating the newest, 5 confirms left is 2nd newest and the 18 hour previous is obviously confirmed.  seems correct order to me.

no normally they are always in found order, ive only ever seen it the once but it was strange to say the least :/

It seems that now we're at about 40PH/s luck has taken a fall again....

Looks like the effective rate is around 20PH/s. The question is where the other 20s go to.

I agree. Bet there is something fishy going on........Hmmmmm

[MikeMike]

What is going on with CZ? I am missing blocks.

[gnu123]

Luck right now :


day 64%
week 70%
month  78%

And still 38,51 PH/s of people who hash, what do they know that i dont ?
They dont care about 24% just dissapear ?

Do anyone know for how many months this luck have been low ?

Why u still staying here with such luck?

That's a good question. BTC is a rock-solid algorithm, which turns many noobs off and their own impatience keeps them away from a great learning experience.

[sbtctalk]

Where did that extra 10 PH come from?

It has always been the norm for 28 - 32 PH, but on random occasions, you will see that extra 10 PH which brings the total hash to 38 PH and 'luck' takes a nose dive.

I don;t get you guys... I was on slush for a long time, but something is obviously not right these days. I've since switched to kano and I couldn't be happier. How long can you guys afford to stick around telling yourselves "it'll turn around soon.."?

Recent low luck has started a lot of speculation about the health of our pool. We have performed a deep analysis of our infrastructure and haven't found any issues. We are currently analyzing every piece of the deployed software along with all logs. We would really love to find THE bug that would solve the problem. However, there is NO indication of this being a software problem. We will keep you posted. Tonight, we will be deploying new version of the stratum software on all our machines that gives us even more details about all mining sessions.

‪#‎captainspeaking‬, AMA (ask me anything) with the Founder, Marek Palatinus, TODAY! Do not miss an opportunity to ask whatever comes to your mind.

It still would be nice if the OP would check in here from time to time, update the thread title hashrate, post updates.  I personally don't use Facebook at all.

First weeks i was hoping for something....

Now i have a thread here on the forum where i let Two S7 Antminer compete against eachother on kano and slush, thats why im still inn slush with a miner. Want to se the results after some weeks.

Back down at 33 PH/s - will "luck" take a turn for the better again like it did last time a substantial amount of hash left the pool?

The one miner with 13.5 PH/s pointed 6 PH/s of his hash elsewhere.  Every time they do that, the pool finds more blocks.  Which has me wondering if that particular miner is withholding blocks when all of his hash is here to get people to move to other pools.  They do it for only a certain length of time before deciding to take their hash back to another pool to earn more coin and use the hash they left here to earn more coin.  Once they see people coming back to the pool again, they bring all their hash back and withhold blocks again.  Who knows for sure though?  Can only speculate...

I'm convinced to point my rigs elsewhere.  I got sick of mining in the blind with no updates from pool operators as to anything going on or taking place at the pool.  The code they use is not "open" for others to see it; which makes one wonder why?  They make no attempts to post updates in the forum or even on their website.  The occasional b/s posted on Facebook.  Why Facebook instead of their on "News" section on their website or in the forum?  There code used for the pool kept private is what turns me off the most.  It makes one wonder if they can actually be trusted.

I can appreciate the other pool I switched to in which the developers frequent the forum and provide updates almost several times daily as to activities going on with the pool.  The code they use is "open" for all to see so that you know there is no b/s in the mix.  With their code out in the "open," you also see if they know what they are doing.

That's my two cents...

142% Day
85% Week
82% Month

33.24 Ph/s pool scoring hashrate.  Lets watch and see what happens now

So now that luck has turned around(for the day at least ).. And the fact is either slush kicked the nefarious miner or he was over reporting hash or the miner saw dmjwards post lmao. either way lack of communication is what will be the demise of this pool.. Not any attack. Only time will tell if this is variance or an attack.. but now that the 10 peta miner left we can never know.. Only speculate.. speculation in the btc world is never usually good..

Slush one way you can help to provide transparency is to give us a page of miners by username and speed and the amount of blocks they find maybe just the top 100 miners or so .. Least the community can then watch the pool for you since you cant be troubled with it.. I guess 50 k$ a month isn't enough in fees to cover you taking 5 seconds to address your supporters??
