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

am sure Slush is smart enough to figure it out when and what to do, when he has much more insight on the load than us - that's why i don't buy the conclusion of pool hashrate being a limiting factor.

I absolutely agree. Pool hashrate doesn't correlate with "luck", er shares/difficulty.

I wouldn't look now but the somebody has just shot a whole herd of miners - 700TH  ??

Does anyone know of an iPhone app, or twitter feed, or something... that would send an alert each time a block is found by Slush's pool?

I am showing 813 right now. .  a drop from 850, but it seems to be going back and forth between 740 to close to 900. .   Every time it gets near 900, we get an run of long running rounds that seems to thin the crowd down. .  And I don't believe/think there is any correlation between the two - just that that has happened the last month or so.

Well this is a good bye, I have jumped ship completely all my miners have been transitioned to BTC Guild.  I do not know why I clung on to Slush for so long, it was nothing but a waste of my time and hardware for the last year.  At the new pool my gear has earned more in the last 48 hours then it has on Slush's pull in the last week I was here.   I don't see it getting bad there either, The longest block so far has only been about 2 hours.

I am not sure why so many of you die hard Slush fan's can not see the writing on the wall, it is clear as day.  Your pool leader does not care about you anymore, I was stuck here since I started mining in 2011 but have finally realized what a joke he is.

Slushes pool is shit there is someone on the inside stealing my work blocks just like mt gox and their stats are all fucked up as well.  Daily graph doesn't update after almost a week wot a lot of shit.  

Changed to BTC guild and the interface is more in depth i like it hopefully it will work better than slush costing me money scammers

Bye bye, so long, cya, don't let the door hit ya in the butt on your way out.

You obviously are a real noob and haven't been on BTC long at all. I've been on BTC as well as Slush since I started and if you haven't seen any 3+ hour blocks over and over on BTC you haven't been there long. A 3+ hour block on BTC is like a 12 hour on Sluch. True BTC is paying better right now but has only been so like you said in the past week. And true they offer better graphics and info but overall over 30 days Slush has paid better.

Didn't like your dumb act talk anyhow and I think you are same jerk on WOW talking same way irritating everyone and getting put on ignore by 1000's of players.

So just go and be gone already.

LOL... Who would have thought, a Slush Mining Pool fanboy. It's ok, take a tissue for your tears.

Curse this wretched luck!

for those that want to jump, the best thing to do is try another pool or split your resources into two different ones and compare the two over a stretch of time. . obviously a week or two isn't going to be reflective of what the various pools are capable of producing, but the only way to see if the grass is greener is to try the other side. .. .

for me personally, I am sitting in two pools.  Slush has its good stretch periods and its bad stretch periods. ..  but sitting in multiple pools does lower my variances a bit.

I wonder if Slush had bitcoins tied up in Mt.Gox possibly?....im just looking for excuses now lol...but it is possible...other pools arent having as bad of "luck" as Slush...I've been with slush for awhile now and he has always fixed stuff quick, but this is the first time i hopped ship. Maybe slush got hit by that flaw of the missing coins as well? along with gox and other sites...weird stuff.

yes I was thinking the same thing...

SLUSH controls all my miners and he is telling my miners to not find blocks because mtgox.

on a more sane note...
these 8 hour blocks get longer the more we have...

[mayne]

can somebody do some magic so we can have better luck?

[InfiniteGrim]

Bless me Slush for I have sinned. I just purchased 600 GH/s of miners. At the horrid luck Slush is having it was doubling the time it would take for my investment to pay for itself. This is the first time in 6 months i Have mined somewhere other then slush's pool.

A valid reason, first one I've heard that wasn't cussing or complaining. Where did you get 600 ghs now without paying way more than worth? Anyway GL hope you get investment back and have some fun same time.

Ok so you dont know what im talking about.....im talking about the NUMBER of online exchanges that got hit by a security flaw with bitcoin transactions,and Slush hasnt been the same since then...I wasnt comparing Mt.Gox to slush in any way, besides saying maybe he stored coins there. Im saying MAYBE he has been hit by the same glitch and the coins are gone..odd i switch pools(dont worry you can make fun whatever) but there has been more payout in 24 hrs then in 5 days on Slush...yeah luck and it'll get fixed...keep your hardware at Slush and let me know how it goes for ya

Maybe, I would hope Slush has somewhere better to put his Bitcoin - like cold storage. But maybe. Just think of all the thousands of Bitcoin lost forever if not millions, hmmm, lots of possibilities there. They will never get back the lost Bitcoins and Japan has no current laws making it easy to even get lost money back. Something again to think about.

Things are in fact shacking out overall and even CampBx has issues with ACW,s and EFT's, namely - can't do it anymore! And it now takes forever to get checks from them not their normal 10 day waiting period. Is it hitting other exchanges? Only time will tell.

But while they work it out we can keep mining.
