I also doubt that it was some kind of pool hack, because there are many accounts with balance in hundreds of bitcoins, which are still untouched.

Just by chance I noticed there is a much higher payout of namecoins at Slush's pool than at Btcguild. Are we still getting those extra coins from people who haven't got a namecoin address or is it just because of different fees and pps? I noticed because I wanted to withdraw some old fractions of coins and it took two days of 400Mhash to mine a single namecoin over there.

A lot of people isn't interested in NMC, so you still have some extra nmc income here...

NMC difficulty is ~2.5x lower than BTC difficulty, so nmc payout should be 2.5x higher in the time period. But a lot of people isn't interested in NMC, so the real NMC payouts are around 4x higher than BTC. At current NMC price (0.01 BTC/NMC), merged mining on the pool is giving roughly 4% extra profit...

For those that don't have an NMC address, do they still get aux longpolls from NMC blocks? If so, can they be an option to disable?

Hi Jack1Rip1BurnIt, I remember our email conversation. Actually I don't know about any possibility how to avoid email confirmation on wallet change. There were some successful robberies before email confirmations were implemented (mtgox credentials leak), but as far as I remember, nothing happen since then.

One thing I would add is email is usually the weak link in any security system.

If hacker comrpomises a users system he likely can keylog the email login (or get password via password recovery, or compare it against compromised website database, etc). At that point resetting account passwords, and hiding the evidence is trivial.

Any system is only as secure as your email. With exchange account, ewallets, pool accounts, dwolla, gambling sites, banks, etc all allowing reset of password by email, weak email = weak accounts.

google offers 2 factor authentication for email (for free). I am sure other providers do to.  No matter how secure slush (or other service provider) makes their system is your email is weak that is where the attack is coming from.

This is cool!!!

Thanx guys for all of your replies. I do believe the thief attacked me through my email. I have another email accout and it is a google one. Is it possible for me to switch my email account without having to create a totally different account?

Mr Slush.

I like your pool, but please do something with this:

Now I feel very bad with such kind of discrimination.  

Can you solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance because second 55GH is waiting

I like your pool, but please do something with this:

I'm right now working on new payout method (double geometric), which definitely solve it.

[highlevelminer]

Its great to see a popular mining pool do everything they can to stay up to date on making the bitcoin a great enterprise.

Keep up the good work guys!

Thank you, it's very good news, as you might think, when you manage to start new payment system?

With 55gh/s or even twice as much, why aren't you solo mining? Just wondering. It seems worth it, or not?

I like Bitcoin idea. I think that must be supported.
The most through the promotion of good pools.

<Graet> ;;bc,calc 55000000
<gribble> The average time to generate a block at 55000000 Khps, given current difficulty of 1577913.4856767 , is 1 day, 10 hours, 13 minutes, and 39 seconds

a pool with more than twice that hashrate had a 11million share block over 4 days recently, joining a pool reduces that variance

I cannot figure out where to enter my namecoin address to start mining some namecoins.

I searched the site.

Did it get disabled slush?

It's on your profile page, just check "Namecoin" checkbox, namecoin settings will appear then...

Hi again, is there an ETA for Double Geometric? Just read somewhere now that most proportional pools are gone Deepbit and Slush are getting extra targeted for pool hopping, even if hoppers' gains are somewhat limited here at Slush's.

Did we really get 5 invalids in a row?
