things just don't add up

[old nice guy]

Can anyone tell me why if i had an unconfirmed plus confirmed reward of 0.03396574 BTC two tounds ago and i made 0.00282524 plus 0.00295110 on the two last rounds respectively how can the sum be 0.03634534 BTC confirmed and unconfirmed reward, it should be .03974208 BTC or maybe my math i F-  HAS ANYONE KEPT AN EYE ON THIS? or is thier something i am not aware of?

What pool is this?

[old nice guy]

Slush pool and this is not the only time i noticed a block was not awarded.

[old nice guy]

Well now it seems we have two blocks INVALID 312400 AND 312371 BOTH BLOCKS TOTAL 8 HOURS AND 10 MINUTES WORK OF HARD MINING

Blocks in shorter chains (or invalid chains) are not used for anything. When the bitcoin client switches to another, longer chain, all valid transactions of the blocks inside the shorter chain are re-added to the pool of queued transactions and will be included in another block. The reward for the blocks on the shorter chain will not be present in the longest chain, so they will be practically lost, which is why a network-enforced 100-block maturation time for generations exists. These blocks on the shorter chains are often called "orphan" blocks. This is because the generation transactions do not have a parent block in the longest chain, so these generation transactions show up as orphan in the listtransactions RPC call.

Expert much. Lol.
Great explanation. Thank you for that billbags.

things still don't add up, acording to BLOCKCHAIN  pool statistics BTC GUILD HAS 5% OF HASHING POWER AND SO DOES SLUSH now comes the big question , up to a couple a days more or less slush had only 3% and thier hashing power hasn't varied much so now we are picking up a higher market share with the same hashing power? and thus more BLOCKS , less blocks for btcguild with doble hashing and and same 5%? acording to them, GhashiO has gone down and has the same or more hashing power? so what conclusions can be made if any?, or are thier figures way off the ball park

When Blockchain tells you what the hashing power share of each pool is, it is based on the rate of blocks found.  When your pool tells you it's own hash rate, it is based on the hash rate at which shares are submitted.  Therefore discrepancies will exist based on pool luck.  When your pool get's really lucky it will look like their hash rate is higher than it really is, and when it is unlucky, blockchain will make it appear the hash rate has dropped even if it has not.

If you find it hard to believe just click on the Stats tab at mining.bitcoin.cz and check out their pool luck.

dang I should look at this more - I use slush also and never took the time to actually add all this up.
