Thanks for the heads up about eclipsemc
Total speed is a little higher then I would like, but it looks like home for now.

... I intend to shutdown at 03:00 UTC or in approximately 24 hours of this post.

Hi martok, are you still intending to shut down? It looks like a few of us harddiers (~10GH/s) are still hanging on to the last bit of it Are we waiting for a last block?

What could that mean? Generally the higher the better, and EMC is tiny.

I find its more beneficial for me to be in a lower speed pool. Maybe the pool was just 'lucky' during that time, but I got a lot more BTC/day on avarage from continuum and lower speed pools vs any other pool, eclipse included, or so it seems so far.
Example, my cashout per day is lowest on deepbit, by a LOT, which has the highest speeds. Cashout on continuum was higher, but less regular, which was fine by me.

Unless something fishy is going on with the larger pools, it just means the smaller ones were lucky during that time. Smaller pools have higher variance, which means you're more likely to get payouts significantly more or less than the average. But the average is the same.

Hey so uh... as far as I can tell my miners still pulling work so I've just left it going on this pool when it runs.  We sticking it out until we get the last block done?

Also what does this mean? I've seen it from time to time while running my miners.  Anything serious?

So is it official yet? The pool's been offline for a few hours now. Will it be back online to finish the last block??
