wtf?

I'm seeing the same thing, and I haven't turned off my computer tonight at all. The "my account" page has me constantly submitting shares, so I'm not sure what's up with that. Hopefully it gets corrected at some point, 4 hours and all

Here we go again (sigh).  All my miners were happily hashing away at full bore in this long round.  The rounds before it and the next one coming up (if rewarded correctly) would attest to that fact.

Same here :
18082    2013-05-18 07:45:28    4:03:45    33732253    none    none    none    236720    25.24790000    87 confirmations left

Hopefully it will get corrected. Also - at around 3hrs into the round my score got reset - it was almost 0 at 3:15 and by 3:45 it was recovering...

I wonder about the score resetting thing, isn't that part of the weighting system to counter pool hopping?  I notice all the time, my score will drop from the millions to nothing and then begin climbing back up

No, the reset is to prevent scores reaching very large numbers. It is thought that if anyone's score reaches +Inf, the universe will implode. So be grateful for the reset.

There is definitely a difference between reset and renormalization. While reset means zeroing out the scores, renormalization means scaling down the scored and modifying C accordingly. The first is simpler to implement and faster to execute while the second is mathematically more correct. Another options to protect against an arithmetic overflow would be using a logarithmic scale, but that is not how the exp scoring method is implemented.

BTW, I really liked reading http://organofcorti.blogspot.hu/2012/04/41-slushs-pool.html and http://organofcorti.blogspot.hu/2012/09/43-slushs-score-method-and-miner.html and suggest those articles to anyone with doubts and questions about how exp scoring works.

Cheers,

Just give the pool some time to sort it out. Round 18082 is fixed already and was also showing none for me. Now:

Code:

18082	2013-05-18 07:45:28	4:03:45	33732105	2021	0.00148243

Sit back, relax...  

You're right, 18082 is fixed for me as well, and I'm certain that any other anomalies will be sorted out in time.

why in the 18084 block of I will not count my 5724 making my account superbrain

[oroboras]

Pool luck (1 day, 7 days, 30 days):   71%, 81%, 98%

Damn, we need more luck!

Not worried about block 18084 - these things seem to fix themselves during confirmation time.

[rassalas]

Hmm, more weirdness.  Account page says 724 MH/s, constant shares going out (last update at 0) every time I look, yet instead of the normal 0.0017-0.002 that I get per block, it's 0.00000082. I'm sure it'll be taken care of, but it's weird that these problems have been cropping up over the recent past and not before

Agreed,

I have also noticed twice in last couple days, even though I'm using cgminer 3.1.0 sometimes a certain miner will get flagged as not Stratum.
maybe there's two things fishy,  maybe it's the same thing.   Is Slush still mum on  the strange rounds?

[Ogma]

Block 18084 seems to be fixed now.

Asicminer doesn't need a pool he hashes more than slush pool on his own lol

yer right doesn't need...then why are they on btcguild?

Saw him over 13TH/s yesterday

[crashoveride54902]

haha damn i wish i had that mining all for myself boy with the recent luck the pool has been having i'm glad i jumped ship

Stumbled on to where my missing shares may have gone...
Using Windows and GUIMiner to do the mining.

I'm keeping this as brief as possible and ask if you want to converse with me, send me a message from in the system ( click name, compose a message to me and not start some flame war in the thread please )

I've had weird issues with GUIMiner and connecting to Slush's pool using the ' default ' dropdown to connect ( screen blank, system freezes, java suddenly needing to be wiped/re-installed ) so decided to use Slush's mining proxy to ensure some kind of buffer between me and a known Slush's server... Think i may have stumbled on the missing share issue..

first connection to stratum.bitcoin.cz ( the following is pulled lines from the DOS window and yes, full lines )


2013-05-18 08:18:14,015 WARNING proxy mining_proxy.main # Trying to connect to S
tratum pool at stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333

2013-05-18 08:19:23,453 INFO proxy client_service.handle_event # New job f80 for
 prevhash 936c2a37, clean_jobs=True

2013-05-18 08:22:17,125 INFO proxy client_service.handle_event # New job f85 for

2013-05-18 08:36:07,500 INFO proxy client_service.handle_event # New job f94 for
 prevhash ea0a27c2, clean_jobs=True


all the false, etc, were removed to be easier to read.  The first ' True ' i can't tell if it loaded the work or if it accepted the share as GUIMiner only showed as 2 ' shares ' and nothing for my account page.  However when connecting with the next stratum the edited shows the following.


2013-05-18 08:57:37,296 WARNING proxy mining_proxy.main # Trying to connect to S
tratum pool at stratum2.bitcoin.cz:3333

2013-05-18 09:06:32,437 INFO proxy stratum_listener.submit # [78ms] Share from '
nybbler905.slowworker' accepted, diff 1

and GUIMiner shows 1 block, 2 shares, https://mining.bitcoin.cz/accounts/profile/ shows 1 share...

not using stratum.bitcoin.cz any more.

We're pretty happy you jumped ship too!

I have tripple pool setup to keep them from going idle.

I believe this is the workaround (pics and all in there to make it easy)

Then that isn't the problem. I measured the corresponding pins on the monitor when it was unplugged, I got about 80 ohms.

Now I have tried running only a 4870 and also only the 4850 that worked before. Now they don't. Driver: 13-1 legacy. I'm beginning to think something in Windows is corrupted. For speed reasons, we deactivated windows update when we installed this machine, and then forgot about it. Now I have re-activated it to see if that does the trick. It will take some time, so I'll try it tomorrow. It's 10:50PM here in Sweden.

Maybe you should have eliminated the problem, instead of correcting her mistakes?

This keeps getting said and then not happening.  I've had 2 blocks in the last week go to 100 confirmations un/underpaid, and now I'm looking at two more.  I can't watch these go by indefinitely; I've been with Slush since my first share and I'd hate to leave, but ultimately I'm doing this for money, and the continued presence of mined blocks that don't pay out or pay out way too low is starting to make me think I shouldn't be here.  What keeps happening?

[RayJay]

Same problem with block 18088 here, looks like it didnt finish processing/parsing the shares.

Not enough server capacity to the concurrent operation of the pool, and statistics. 
Processing statistics on round results in fewer share.

Have you tried using one of the older full Catalyst Suite drivers that support the HD4xxx cards as opposed to the legacy drivers? (not available for Windows 8 ).  The legacy driver set doesn't support hardware accelerated OpenGL support, (no Minecraft  ) so perhaps OpenCL is compromised or removed too.
