I know a lot of it is KNC. organofcorti's weekly posts include an *actual* breakdown of mining capacity. I think the "unknown" amount for his reports is down to something like 5-7%. As for luck: All I can say is "that's luck for you". You had about 6 months in a row paying above 100% by a few % each month, and now the last month and a half has been quite a bit below 100% (enough below to nuke the 3m/6m figures, if you shifted those figures back one month they'd still be above 100%).

Yes, quite a few Eligius users have BTC Guild for their failover. I know they've been under attack a lot recently, though for the last few weeks it hasn't affected the mining pool itself.
Eligius has been suffering a DDoS for weeks now, mostly on the stats server. There was also an issue where the NMC payouts were hijacked, so no-one's been getting NMC payouts for a few months. The pool itself is stable, but the stats which so many rely on are a bit broken.

I really do not get why so many people stay with Eligius with all the issues they have. I am not bashing them it just does not make sense. It sucks all the people going to ghash. That I do not like to see at all. One friend of mine will not mine anywhere but there and he has over 15 th/s. He says the steady luck is the reason why.

They frequently have shares go entirely unpaid since they're only eligible for payment for about 35 minutes.

Applied a small fix to the wallet validation code to support P2SH addresses for your withdrawal address.

P2SH ? Something that was implemented long ago but not used much. It's something a few online (and offline?) wallets have started using. P2SH allows for M-of-N escrow style transactions.

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

For my own curiosity could you please elaborate on this ? It's more of a curiosity than anything else. The curiosity is just how it would benefit anyone in regards to a pool. What sorta confuses me is the way eleuthria responded... --- It's something a few online (and offline?) wallets have started using. P2SH allows for M-of-N escrow style transactions. ---

What sorta confuses me is the way eleuthria responded... --- It's something a few online (and offline?) wallets have started using. P2SH allows for M-of-N escrow style transactions. --- Users weren't able to enter a P2SH style wallet address (they start with a 3 instead of a 1, and my script used to validate an address didn't properly validate them), so they couldn't use an address that required multiple signatures in order to spend the funds, which is the point of an M-of-N type transaction. One example scenario for an M-of-N style address is your funds can't be spent unless both your PC and your phone sign the transaction to send coins somewhere, effectively adding 2 factor authentication to the address itself. I'm not familiar with how it has been implemented in client implementations or web wallets, it's not something I've ever found a need for personally. P2SH itself had a bit of a history about 2 years ago, where miners (mostly pools even back then) had to "vote" by including /P2SH/ in the coinbase before rules enforcing stricter requirements for p2sh transactions came into effect. You can get a little information on the background of it (BIP 16) here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0016.mediawiki
