What are your guys pings to the server, i feel i get less shares on this new server then the previous on short blocks (granted difficulty has got up 1-2 times since then) Im from ontario, canada just for refrence.
stratum1.bitcoin.cz i ping about 75ms
api.bitcoin.cz:8332 i ping about 120ms
i obvously use stratum address, i also tried directly towards some of the listed ip address's its the same as stratum address.
with a tracert to the server i get some timing out after it hits amazons servers, anyone else?
Each of those domain names is actually a pool of several IPs. When pinging the name you'll be pinging only one of those IPs. A better approach would be to ping each of the IPs individually. Also, tracing the route is somewhat irrelevant - the route may change numerous times even while you're still connected. In addition the route on the way to that IP may not be the same as the route back (e.g. packets sent from your computer will take one route to the destination but packets sent back to your computer may travel in a different way). On top of that some providers may block various kinds of packets - many (home/wireless) routers block ping by default as a semi-DoS attack prevention. I know how DNS works, and maybe you should fully read the post before replying. as i was simply asking for others results on ping to compare, and if anyone has a fully successful trace route.

I have noticed my average has gone down a bit lately. Is this because we have more miners on lately or did the difficulty change or is it just my bad luck?
It also appears that I got the short end of the stick on a couple blocks. Not sure if it is on my end or not.
Anyone else notice the same or is it me?

luck went down because of the long time to crack a couple of blocks today. over 11 hours for 2 of them. More than counterbalancing the rapid ones we found.

Be going back 10 pages and reading. Or back 15, 20, 30, or even 50 pages and reading....

So... regarding the missed blocks and payments, you guys aren't upset about it? It just gets overlooked because we've been lucky lately?
I am not being a dick, but my normal reward per round is ~.03 and there were like 3 that were .006 or less, not due to any downtime on my miner. I may be back if I can't do better elsewhere, but I'm going to check out btcguild until these issues are fixed.

Seeing shares submitted but not shown on pool page. 16 minutes since last share... ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif) Come on Slush can't you fix it? I'm afraid to move anything big to your pool...

That is odd - one of my 2 workers isn't getting shares showing either. Hmm...
worker1 my password 0 292 18878.7756 16 minutes 226.746 yes 1 Edit | worker2 is secret, ok? 0 908 7028947.4441 0 minutes 705.086 yes 1 Edit |
Luckily it's my 7850, not my 7970.

Slush hasnt acknowledged block 237574 was missed so he gets all 25BTC. I see block 237575 got adjusted scoring me on 237574's shares so I made .00131371 when I should have gotten around .0066x. My friend who is mining 2.5gh/s like me his block 237575 got adjusted to .014x when it should have been .0077x so he essentially got paid for block 237574 and 237575 where I got absolutely nothing for 237574 and only 1/6 payment for 237575. not much you can do if Slush doesnt acknowledge it happened.

cgminer 3.1.1 says for this entry: Pool 1 invalid URL. Trying many IPs - not work. Have 10 hostnames in cgminer.conf - all working fine.
Am thnking Windows cgminer not taking IP addresses. Am also thinking is Windows issue having different gethostbyname() function call to UNIX:
gethostbyname Function in the API
The gethostbyname function uses the WSALookupServiceBegin function to query SVCID_INET_HOSTADDRBYNAME as the service class GUID. ... Returns addressing information from HOSTENT in CSADDR_INFO structures, port information is defaulted to zero. Note that this routine does not resolve host names that consist of a dotted IPv4 address.
That BOLD part is saying you cant use direct IP's. I am not familiar with cgminer in the unix environment so cant help beyond that. However if you know UNIX you can edit the hosts which is generally located in /etc aka vi /etc/hosts and add something like 54.225.68.97 ip1.slush.local 54.225.117.74 ip2.slush.local may have to hup inetd. then use ip1.slush.local in cgminer script. see if that works. I haven't messed with unix resolving in a long time so I am just going by memory. Am familiar with UNIX/Linux and variants but using Windows7 to mine. Edited c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts file, added list. Can use ip1-9.slush.com now to specify IP. # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself. # 127.0.0.1 localhost 54.225.116.174 ip1.slush.com 54.225.117.74 ip2.slush.com 54.225.116.40 ip3.slush.com 54.215.3.101 ip4.slush.com 54.215.3.102 ip5.slush.com 54.225.116.221 ip6.slush.com 54.225.68.97 ip7.slush.com 54.215.3.103 ip8.slush.com 54.215.3.100 ip9.slush.com Good job ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Weird. 237574 is showing out of place when I look in the "statistics" menu. For me, it shows right above 237575 in the grid, but, if it was going in order (since they are descending), it should have appeared below it. Are you sure it's missing for you and not just out of place?

I'm not happy about it either and I don't think you're being a dick. It seems that lately the pool has taken second seat to his Trezor project, which is unfortunate since this used to be the best pool out there. In the past he's always been right on top of things and corrected any issues that have cropped up, not so much lately.

And there were two other blocks that paid out about 1/6 of the amount due as well, but they have fallen off the statistics screen. Others mentioned them a few pages back (slush, if you see this...) I hope they all get fixed but I am only willing to put up with so much.

I don't know how Slush does it. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Every block looked at under a microscope. I'm only a little miner, but my 7 day average is pretty consistant, day in and day out. I don't look at every blocks results. A watched block never pops. I don't second guess the software, it is smarter that me. If it is broke, Slush will fix it. But, software doesn't wear out, it works the same way under the same circumstances everytime. The thing is most of the other pool threads are filled with similar complaints. Mining isn't a participation game. you run your rig and reap the results. If you really feel that this pool is broke, go to another pool. Personally, i think that the only thing that will help us out will be an increase in our mining power. We need a larger piece of the pie. I know I'm scrambling to find what cost effective hardware i can find. A 7 hour block doesn't mean that one block took 7 hours to resolve, it means that a whole bunch of blocks were found by people other than us and it took us this long to find one before someone else did. The only way to improve our position is to grow. At least that is the way i see it.

Hashrate on Stratum interface (30 min average): 10445.839 Ghash/s (98%) Approx. cluster performance (30 min average): 10596.366 Ghash/s
Is it me, or has the pool grown by about 700 GH/s in this last day. It was below 9800Gh/s 24 hrs ago.
