Score resets to zero top of every hour for everyone, but shares are not reset -- you don't lose anything.  Score has to reset because on long blocks, the number could get big enough to overflow the registers and peeps would start asking about why they were seeing negative scores

I know why are flip. But when resets then why can from this number calculating?
I mean, then on 59:59 is 400'000'000'000 total score, and then over 1:00:00 is 0 total score.
The slush method says:
reward = user score / total score * 50
Then every hour have more participations?
I have now 53413,5817 score from my workers.
Current total score is: 4031371780,6554
/*
Current round duration:   2:25:39
Current shares CDF:   86.79 %
Current Bitcoin block, difficulty:   238884, 12153411
*/
so my reward is now: 0,00066247402380 ?! (528 shares, total share is now 24596507)
And alfter a hour we see this method so:
my reward = 53413,5817 / 0 * 50 ?
I dont understand this, i think there is a math bug^^

No math bug -- your score is increasing at the same rate as before because your hash rate is the same.  The total pool score is increasing by the total pool hash rate (and that can change as miners come and go during the round).  Not sure if you've seen this, but the latest audit for Slush's pool has this about the scoring system: http://organofcorti.blogspot.com/2012/08/42-slushs-score-method-and-miner.html?q=slush%27s+pool

having issues connecting.  Tried the built in url on guiminer, and I also tried stratum2.bitcoin.cz:3333 and stratum3.bitcoin.cz:3333 to no avail. Connection is just not happening, something about IO errors

Here's what my guimer looks like:

I had the same issue today with one of my machines running guiminer.  I had to flush my dns and it started working again with the standard slush setting in guiminer.

in case you don't know:
ipconfig /flushdns

In windows vista or 7 you want to open the cmd as administrator.

EDIT: and just to be clear, I'm not using Other for my server, I'm actually using the slush server option.

What is that monster? 24 cores??? Are you runing this on server or is there another reason that you have that many.

It seems to me that how higher the pool's hashrate, the longer the blocks. But that can't be correct, isn't it?

All comes down luck, and we not having goods one lately. :S

For pool abuse:

Read the end of all:
Edit; It won't work, see the further discussion.

He means the countermeasure of counting shares in last blocks (hence overstriked)
You can test it with setting up a pool with out hop protection ill be happy to be with youre pool until first block hits 43%, ofc Ill come back after you find a block.
Theres nothing wrong in the math.

But its very important, when the block is founded. I think i dont recvive more BTC with these method^^

Its important only if you're sample is 1-10 blocks, but if you mine thousand of blocks pool hoppers gain extra ~30% Its statistically inevitable.

If pool hopping wouldnt be an issue, why would pool operators run complex algorithms for the payout. There actually were pools with payout you mentioned, altho theyre all dead or went to complex payouts.

NB. pure PPS payout (like 50btc) is based on pool operator taking the risk. individual miners dont gain/lose if the pool finds 1 block or 100 blocks per day.

lol -- this is my desktop -- dual Xeon 5680's on an EVGA SR-2 Classified mobo.  Got it to improve render times for Adobe CS apps.

http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 - down?? 

[TheXev]

Are the stratum servers down?  Several people in the chat room (myself included) can no longer reconnect.  I also tried flushing my DNS tables too.

Getwork fails too.

Getting the same here. Does anybody know what's going on?

Still up for me connecting out of Los Angeles.

[Edit] Using Bfgminer on one machine, guiminer on another, that is.

[Trongersoll]

Ack!!! Over the last 4 days my Daily reward has dropped 50%. OUCH!!! I think it is time to increase my Hashing rate.

I'm on the eastern side of the US using cgminer 3.1.1 and it's not connecting here.

I have two machines connecting to stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333, one works, the other does not. Can telnet to the port successfully though, so I suspect it's authentication related.

[NoStr0m0]

I'm having the same issue, although I can't connect to stratum, pinging it works fine. I'm from Romania so this doesn't seem to be area specific. Lucky it happened at the end of a block otherwise the reward would have been damaged... oh, wait.

Good for me in Dallas..

[TheXev]

yeah, seems the same for most of us.. it happened near the end of that last block.

Stat's server is reporting that the network hash rate has been steady.

This is just plain weird.  Another 4 people stopped in the chat room with same problem. Since my last post.

[ewitte]

The one at home is submitting the ones at the office say the pool isn't available and automatically switched to my 3rd pool (BTCGuild which is working).
