For instance. The other night I navigated over to BTCGuild. All of a sudden my fan in my laptop starts blowing real hard to do some serious cooling. I'm like, that's not good. So, I went to my activity monitor in my Mac and saw BTC Guild in Safari was using 99% of my CPU. WHY? I believe it was to use my laptop to hash.
I send the owner of the guild a PM telling him about it and 10 to 15 minutes later it stops.
Too much fishy crap going on around here. Well, the owner of the guild is a moderator on here. I never get a response to the PM I sent. The CPU usage just stops and it hasn't occurred anymore.
Seriously??? You realize how unlikely that is (and how it sounds) and even if it was the hashing power would be zilsh....

Hmm... Interesting. While your BTCGuild conspiracy theory is silly, you're right on the block. That would also agree more with my previous observations that the difficulty only seems to update after a block is found. Something else happened in the time period you're talking about though. After block 326591 the difficulty updated. That was in the middle of that long block, so would explain the out of sequence update.
Alternately, why not just get all the data and look through it. Slush publishes all the data, so you can double check this all yourself if you want.
Yes, I could double check this data out for myself. I even go to Blockchain and look at every block found on days I decide to mine a little bit on ck.'s pool. I probably burnt too much wood back in the day and it's made me paranoid of everything.

Like I said, I've sent a PM to him. I actually sent 4 to him. We PM'd back and fourth to one another about 4 times each about 3.5 weeks ago when I was comparing Slush to BTC Guild. So, I figured he might get back in touch if I asked him about the CPU usage of 99%. If you have EVERYONE's CPU on the guild that COULD be a lot of hashing power if combined. Just saying. I'm done with it now since it stopped doing it. I should have taken a picture of my Activity Monitor when it was happening to prove it to you. My cooling fans in my MacBook Pro would wind up real fast every time I would navigate to the guild's website. I ended up "FORCE QUITTING" it in my Activity Monitor 2 times after navigating to the site 2 times. I then PM'd eleuthria after the 2nd time I did a Force Quit. I PM'd eleuthria 4 times. But like I said, I'm done with it since it has stopped.

No it wouldn't. Please check your numbers. 10,000 of the most powerful CPUs today amount to about one S3 which is 440GH. For a pool with 13,000,000 GH, do you honestly think the pool operator would risk his reputation for that much more?

Just didn't make since to me Stil don't understand WHY it would take up 99% of my CPU and send my cooling fans to blazing? The reason they would turn on is to cool the CPU or GPU. I looked at the "Activity Monitor" and sure enough, it was the CPU. I wish NOW I had taken a picture of my activity monitor with my iPhone to prove it to you.

It seems no one cares to TRY to explain HOW the guild would use 99% of my CPU when I would navigate to the website?
It doesn't do it anymore, and probably never will again.
Oh well.

One runaway javascript on the web page would be enough to do it. Why does this need to be explained, and especially on the slush pool thread?

I did tell him in a PM I had just upgraded from OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite that same night. It was the first day Yosemite came available for download. I don't know if that had anything to do with it or not? It never did it before until after the upgrade to Yosemite. I told him that might be part of the reason. I just didn't know.

What prompted it is if you look back earlier to see me wondering what was up with the "1 Day Luck" acting up? I suppose I will stop being paranoid and TRY to ask questions if something seems weird.
