[4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool

So is the found block part working or not ?

"found block part"?

Yes, everything works; this variance is pretty normal. For example, today pool found 7 blocks in four hours...

I've been running over 3 GHs for a couple months now and haven't found a single block (which is cool) I just wanted to make sure that if someone finds a block your sure that it shows up in there found block section

Yes, when your miner find a block, you'll see "1" in "Found block" on profile page...

I just added SSL certificate signed by RapidSSL authority. So no warnings about 'self signed' certificate in your browser anymore. I'll fix redirecting from https back to http on login page tomorrow.

SSL on website is finally working correctly. HTTP is forced for member section ("My account" and related) as security improvement.

Blimey, I found 2 Blocks today, what are the chances!

Yeah, somehow I managed to find a block after only mining for a week.  1.2gh/s and I had only made about 12btc before I found it.   Man was I pissed, but i'm still here because I know it's not likely to happen again.

Bad luck these past few days, 3, 4 & 6 hour blocks.

Yes, few longer rounds in a row, it always look strange. But pool luck is above average, so don't worry .

Nice graph. Yup, no worries, I did like few days a go, there were a lot of 1 min to like 1 hr rounds with great rewards, .025-.021 for me . Seems even though difficulty dropped, I am getting less rewards but people that left, those spots filled up again somewhat fast or in some sort.

[slush]

So that's two blocks to me!!! Well chuffed, that's a good start for a Monday.

So a hip hip hurrah for Slush's pool (ok, I'm a bit light-headed from getting another block, hahaha) 

Thanks for your support, catfish! Mining two blocks so fast as one miner is realy lucky. For example, one of my card didn't find a block since January and then found some blocks in a row with current difficulty. It was really weird :-).

About namecoin - I'm following their project and it would be great to support them with merged mining. It can earn few bucks for pool users on top of their actual income, so let's see what happen.

Hey Slush,

Will you be implementing merged mining soon?

+1000

[Dargo]

Hey, this pool rocks. I started mining here about a week ago and am earning more coin than I have with any other pool I've tried. We may have our share of bad luck, but at least this seems to be matched by our share of good luck. You would think that this is the case for every pool out there, but unfortunately this hasn't really been my experience.

From Guiminer:

1367 shares accepted and only 1 stale/invalid

Awesome

you need min 10k shares to make a valid point about stales.
btw: why does slush not support lp?

[wknight]

everyone wonders why slush's pool doesnt have lp..

Always getting ~85% Rejected

can't believe I haven't been able to mine slush for 2 month using phatk and no explanation anywhere (except this)

"

slush's pool is incorrectly marking shares as rejects because slush refuses to implement ntime rolling. This is a bug with his pool, not the miner

."


in august

@slush

Once again: with the lastes cgminer or phoenix I have tons of rejects. With poclbm not. I get the rejects only with your pool. Deepbit, Arsbit, Eligius, Guild, mtred... all are working. It's NOT a network issue. I guess your pool is in some way not compatible with some optimization of the more recent miner-software.

What is the cause of the reject???

Seems like a lot of people simply stopped mining at slush for this reason.   Is there an update to this old problem ?

[slush]

Always getting ~85% Rejected

Hello, there's no reason to have 85% rejected, of course it isn't normal and there must be something specific in your config. Please send me your miner settings to email together with your pool login.

For example yesterday one guy contacted me because he had very high rejected ratio. Then we found that he was using wrong domain on his side for some miners (api1.bitcoin.cz instead api.bitcoin.cz or api2. bitcoin.cz). So there might be some stupid mistake, too.

shalom!

will you please implement MergedMining soon?

[flower1024]

+1
please implement lp and nrolltime also. (merged mining could be discussed here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=44546.msg531934#msg531934)
