We're waiting for more than 50 minutes for the next block, (yes, block, not round). What's interesting is that the new difficulty is going to be "only" 19 % higher than the current one.
[edit] So it has taken 1h 13min to find the first block with the new difficulty. Quite a long block... Difficulty increase is 19.29 %. The least value of last several retargets.

So Coinbase is a central authority of sorts. Does the pool request in a manner similar to our miners requesting work? We request work from our pool. From whom does the pool request work? Does the pool requesting work differ from a solo miner mining the data in his bitcoin blockchain (guessing)?
No central authority... Pool creates the work, doesn't request any. Same does a solo miner. There's no "his" blockchain, there's one chain for everybody.

Uh...how did one of my workers go from working fine to last share seen over seven hours ago within a few minutes??
**edit** Now it's saying last share was an hour ago....ugh.
I happen to be in an area expecting strong storms later today, but nothing is close to me yet...I guess my power/net must have just gone out. Eight hours till I get off work and find out what happened....

+1 Would be useful but don't expect this feature since slush will veto it because he's not interested.

this tends to happen when a slush back end server isnt communicating with the others. I havent seen it happen in awhile but then again I dont babysit my miners anymore.

I don't normally babysit my miners but I just started up some Blue Fury's and the first few days were a challenge. They have settled down and hash just fine now, but one of them didn't want to behave those first few days so I had to keep an eye on it.

307,545.447 Ghash/s and here's another seven plus hour block? On the heels of a six plus, with a twelve plus just yesterday? Will every pool, in the long run. have an average luck around 100%? WTF gives? I like Slush's pool, it was my first pool and I've stuck with it since, but is there a better choice out there for a poor dust miner? Am I whining too much? I don't really babysit my miners, but cheez, I like to see a /little/ progress. This sucks.

Every pool has good luck and bad luck...in the long run its all pretty equal. If you go do a different pool your still at the mercy of luck. A bigger pool will most likely get you more consistant rewards, but your rewards will still be at the mercy of you miner speed vs the pool's speed.

Oh, unless you want to go give PPS mining out. It's consistant, but your overall reward will be less as, I believe, most that offer that option have higher fee's for it.

Guys,
I want to find out when I first started hashing my new machine. Is there a way I can get historical round data from Slush pool?
