I know you've got a lot on your plate, Slush, but any word on long polling? I remember seeing a post from you a while back that you were making preparations for it.
I don't know enough about it, but might that no help alleviate some issues on your end by increasing pool efficiency?

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

I switched to slush's pool and then regretably back to my previous pool again. I did leave Slush as my backup but the reason I switched is I got and still get constant "Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC". I don't have this with other pools and am using win7 guiminer.

I feel your pain, if this keeps up for another day or two I will also be looking for another pool. I hate it when I'm out and I check the site only to see my miners are down. It usually reconnects, but twice already when I went out and one of them refuse to reconnect, so I had to go home just to click the start button again... |

5043 2011-06-02 16:46:17 3:05:53 1671479 - invalid
5042 2011-06-02 13:40:24 1:48:14 981119 - invalid
Bloody long runs .. and with no payout! Probably due to network problems these precious block did not get to propagate fast enough.

Anybody notice that EVERY pool [at least that I have looked at] is reporting those invalids? BTCMine doesn't, but they had a technical problem where they were cycling the same data over and over or something like that. It lead to a 10 hour round which seems to be where the invalid blocks were. So, who actually won the invalid blocks that so many pools are seeing?

I have a hunch it was an orphanning attack but I need to build up some more evidence. It would be instructive to track those blocks that beat out the pool blocks that were orphanned. |

The 'problems with bitcoin rpc' is even worse now than it was yesterday. Looked at my logs and my miners are reporting almost one error per 10 seconds.
At multiple ghash/s performance potentially wasted, going to have to switch to other pools for now unfortunately.

For a lot of block there is no reward ? What's the point ? There is a minimal amount under there is no reward at all ?
Or it is related of full block processing ?
Thanks in advance !

Hello, 0.6Mhash/s is _really_ slow worker, so your reward is +- fine. With such slow computer, you're hitting shares just for few blocks per day... |

Good news! Marking those blocks as invalid was network glitch. I investigated them (as I do for every invalid blocks) and found they were generated by pool. So you can check stats now, your reward for those blocks are on your accounts... |

Hey, stupid question. How is it we get 'rewards' every round? Aren't there rounds where we don't find the 50 BTC and wouldn't get any coins to hand out a reward? I'm just a bit confused on that aspect of it.

Well a round exists only when we find a block. There is always a round, just that some take longer some take a shorter amount of time. |

Ahhh...ok, I get it. So if a round is 3 hours, there may have been multiple blocks found in that 3 hour span, but that's how long it took the pool to find a block. Makes perfect sense, gracias |
