3. mining is still working and we will be paid by slush per block instad of PPS
Did anyone ask himself what this means... Per block? The only one paid will be the one who finds a block? If this is a case we all should stop mining and switch to other pools... I know it is late but for me to waist more then 1 day on impossible gamble... When I read it I troth we will get some share but now I'm wondering... EDIT: Did we solo mine on a pool?

I advise everyone to take a break and let the man do his work. Have coffee, smokes.... whatever what put you at ease and wait.

He said he found them the day it crashed not after. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1976.msg1936397#msg1936397As a follow on, if we find a block do we get any extra payment as a BONUS? Ive never seen any mention of this. joolz

Slush has only made a single statement: Pool just found new block. Because database isn't running and shares are not stored, I'll spread blocks mined during database outage to miners who'll continue mining on the pool since the database will be up again.
Now, if you don't trust Slush to have a sane scheme for distributing mined blocks according to your contributions until the pool goes back to normal, just go mine somewhere else for a while. No one will think any less of you. Heck, someone is even entitled to have a wacky theory that Slush is using the pool to mine only for himself, what do I know! Mine on your own then for now! But can we please stop spamming this thread with wild rumours, misconceptions about computer security and questions that could damn well have been answered within the thread if the thread itself wasn't spammed with said rumours and questions (negative reinforcement loop?). Please go and watch TV, play games, work, have a wee, wank off or whatever and let's see when the only person that can bring clarity to all this (Slush) is done with priority number one (getting the pool infrastructure/homepage in order) and can motivate spending time on calming down a bunch a mining loons (myself included).

I read the post you qouted. I wasn't worried until I read this 3. mining is still working and we will be paid by slush per block instad of PPS
And since I didn't find anything else on that I was starting to wonder... I know we are not PPS but I was unsure what method slush will use and since database was down it look like something that is a possibility... Since I'm not on IRC all the time I thought that came from there...

It uses Slush method but for that he needs shares. And as far as I know they are/were not recorded... And someone now probably wrongly told as that this is now pay per block... And as far as I read the wording(if you look at PPS metod) that would be Solo mining...

Since I'm not on IRC all the time I thought that came from there... About my "Chinese whispers" point made early, Q.E.D.? And you trust "Mr. 15-Posts" enough to go bananas over reading three letters "PPS"? Slush also made a point that he wasn't on IRC and for good reasons. Now, I will just go and do one or more of the things on that list of suggestions I made in my previous post. Because I am quite frankly giving up on stemming the tide of this little gossiping sewing circle you have going on here.

Site is up. But clicking on my account tab shows this:
SSL connection error Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have. Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.
We are close though. Great work Slush!!!

And now the site is up again, it is looking good but I will wait and not log in until Slush announces that the homepage is safe and sound on this thread. Great work Slush!

What about the user database? Was it compromised? I'd hate to see bitcoins sent to the wrong address.
I have a database snapshot taken before bad guys overtook the database. So there's no reason to think payout addresses have been modified. Any change of wallet on pool profile requires email confirmation by account owner so I think we're on safe side here. Unfortunately the user database can be considered as compromised, so the attacker knows user's emails :-(. How were the passwords hashed? never answer that!!! let me rephrase: were the passwords securely hashed? And salted? Not to preach to you, but this is a perfect example why everyone should use unique passwords on every website. I personally use 20+ character randomly generated passwords thanks to LastPass. Makes secure password management so easy. I am assuming the worst that they wore not hashed and salted. No word on the matter suggests that is possibly the case? I'd like to know either way. Embarrassing as it may be. He already said that passwords were salted and hashed earlier in the thread and that you didn't have to worry about passwords being compromised. yes, indeed. SHA1 with salt https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1976.msg777581;topicseen#msg777581
