21027 and 21033 need recalculations, my reward is halved again.
My reward for round 21027 is 1/100 of the usual one. But it has been confirmed already... :-(

With block 21027 now being confirmed, is this going to make it tougher to fix?
What happens to those that got extra?
If I had been one of those that got extra, it would have pushed me over my payout threshold. It would have paid out, but when (or if) it went back to fix it, there would not be enough in my rewards to give back.

Annoying indeed... I have no issue with the regularly varying score (which always occurs to me despite having a 50MBit pipe with extremely constant connection quality and no significant change neither to total Slush Hash power or my own), but I think that "anti-pool" hopping routine is overly punishing Shares that come to the server just a few seconds late. I mean when a round is i.e. 10 hours and I contributed @ full average speed for 9h 59m with the final shares somehow being a tad delayed (despite my GUIminers showing no evidence of any delay/problem whatsoever), that shouldn't be punished so hard. Plus, I also see it overnight when there's absolutely no other traffic using my Internet connection, it's 100.0% mining only.
Just stopping miners (which ran days uninterrupted 24/7) for only 10 seconds (!) to change some settings is making the rewarded BTC taking a considerable and unproportional hit, IMHO that's not okay and making me considering to at least try other pools. In the end results, their additional fees become insignificant when compared to the losses I see here everyday due to that extremely aggressive scoring/time vs. reward reduction routine :/ Additionally because of being new around here, such events always leave a nagging doubt that this behaviour is systemic and intentionally scooping off small fractions of BTC Rewards per participant. No proof for that of course but the doubt remains (especially because now big money is involved every day), those repeating small issues don't quite reduce these doubts :/
Just my 2 cents from a low profile miner, I'd probably be much more unhappy if I had some big THash rigs rolling and seeing the same...

great... i got nada due to no power here for that round..... [EDITED TO ADD] lost power at around 3rd hour of the 5:49:17 and didn't get it back on until part way in to the 2nd round after...
0.00000002 is still more than i'd expect for doing 3hrs of 5+ hour hashing ( assuming my clocks are correct now )

Round 21027 has the same 1% of the expected payout that most other people here are seeing for me as well. I don't believe that it is a connection issue on my end, as my number of shares / total shares is the same as every other round.
Hopefully Slush fixes it, he's usually excellent about such things.

So im not the only one getting hosed on multiple blocks.
is there any correction being performed or are we just expected to accept that its the cost of using slushes pool?

Slush's pool doesn't do merged mining anymore.

Anyone else seeing really low reported hashrate? I'm pushing 10 GH/s and pool is reporting 2 GH/s. Weird...

Nothing abnormal. The start of a new block my rate drops about half but recovers quickly. On a side note, I still haven't seen a correction to 21027 yet.

So I just added 10gh/s to my total setup, everything is reporting full hash on Slush's site but my estimated reward doesn't look bumped up much at all. Does this mean everyone else plugged in 10gh/s at the same time as me? Or did we get more members so proportionately I'm nearly unchanged? Or does the estimated reward need more time to catch up? Perhaps I was expecting to see more of a bump, I mean it's a little bit higher but not much.

The pool hash rate is changing all the time, but say it was 400TH/s when you plugged in (it's 422TH/s as I write this), and where in the round you connected affects the reward as well, but in terms of hashing power 10GH/s divided by 420TH/s times 100% = a relative increase of 0.0025% for the pool, so yeah, the reward bump wouldn't be a lot.

Do a lot of people turn off over the weekends? I always feel like the weekends have longer rounds during certain hours but slightly better rewards. I'm not plotting any data, mostly this is just very casual observation... I'm 24/7 with my equipment so I just assume most people are the same way. I've also limited myself to just Slush's pool, it works well enough so I've had no motivation to bounce around or explore. Perhaps during the long blocks people drop out and come back a few days later. I'm pulling at straws, guess I'm just trying to find out what might make the pool hash rate decrease, assuming it ever does I'm aware it would only be temporary and the long-term trend is always building here... Edit: just so I understand, generally if my rewards get lower and it's not from a difficulty jump is it safe to assume it is because the pool either has more members or more equipment plugged in? Edit 2: okay, now my estimated reward is higher by the amount I was expecting, perhaps there was some lag in the system(?)

Usually he has been. But normally the correction should come before the block is verified. After verification, payouts could have occured, especially to those who had won unproportional gain in the round. [edit]: typo

(...) but I think that "anti-pool" hopping routine is overly punishing Shares that come to the server just a few seconds late.
Rejecting shares that have come late for the work just finished (a block found either by us or by somebody else) has nothing to do with anti-hoping algorithm. I mean when a round is i.e. 10 hours and I contributed @ full average speed for 9h 59m with the final shares somehow being a tad delayed (despite my GUIminers showing no evidence of any delay/problem whatsoever), that shouldn't be punished so hard.
So are your shares delayed or not? :-) Somehow... :-))) BTW, do not use guiminer... Just stopping miners (which ran days uninterrupted 24/7) for only 10 seconds (!) to change some settings is making the rewarded BTC taking a considerable and unproportional hit, IMHO that's not okay and making me considering to at least try other pools. In the end results, their additional fees become insignificant when compared to the losses I see here everyday due to that extremely aggressive scoring/time vs. reward reduction routine :/
Do you think that you manage to always break your mining just before the round end for maintenace? BTW, a 10 seconds may make some hit, but not a considerable one. The anti-hoping algorithm parametres had been even relaxed a bit lately AFAIK. In most cases, when you break your mining for 10 seconds, it occures somewhere during the round. And the resulting hit will be negligible. Tuning the settings is a rare occasion in normal operation. Pool fees OTOH are a regular all time cost. Additionally because of being new around here, such events always leave a nagging doubt that this behaviour is systemic and intentionally scooping off small fractions of BTC Rewards per participant. No proof for that of course but the doubt remains (especially because now big money is involved every day), those repeating small issues don't quite reduce these doubts :/
Just my 2 cents from a low profile miner, I'd probably be much more unhappy if I had some big THash rigs rolling and seeing the same...
Just look into your own mouth. If something like that was going here, large miners would notice long time before you could. And if you are either unsatisfied with the scoring algorithm, or in doubt about the pool consistency, you really can consider joining another pool. [edit]: typo
