Well when we finally find this block we will get a bit more then normal because the hash rate has dropped to almost 50 GH/s. Good news for me I finally made it onto the top 25 share producers (username: minecrafter).  All we need to do is find 2 blocks so I pay for the power I used in the last 7 days (117 KWH @ $0.124/hWh).

I guess we are close to the 50% mark on that 130 count.  Doesn't make it any less painful, though!  Sad

Someone pass the lube, it's feeling a little dry.

Blocks like this are one in 130. Not really that rare if you think about it.

We had an Eternal Block From Hell on Continuum once. And it was a 10 GH/s pool. It wasn't pretty.

Yall are only at 8,781,076 shares.  Many pools have had blocks of 11,000,000+ recently.  It just sucks when it happens Sad

I know, idiot here, but don't we do that every several minutes?
Like when Deepbit, slush and the others solve blocks?
Oh, well. I'm the idiot this time. Smiley

Yes, every LP is a new block.

I actually changed wallets yesterday just to be sure there wasn't something funky going on with the wallet, so I know it wasn't that, either.  I checked several times to be sure there wasn't one missed and I keep checking in vain.

Seriously... WTF.  I'm not even sure what to say at this point.
I have a naive question: is it possible we "missed" the solution? That is, one of us solved the block but a network error caused to be missed and now we're searching in vain. Has anybody heard of this happen before? Although I did see some long blocks once in a while. The last block at Continuum was never solved for example. I think it took about two weeks before everybody quit -- although the hashrate was about 1/3 of Eclipse and dwindled down slowly.

Does it make sense to drop this block and start a-fresh?

Poor impulse control.
I think I've run out of descriptive terms for the ridiculousness of this block. 

I think you just have to get a new one. Try at Blocks 'r' us:

We are now at a new Eclipse record for block length, as well as number of shares!

Ok, I've got everything setup to calculate estimated reward based on score, I think.  I will need to wait until the next block, because the scoring calculations wouldn't be accurate for this block with the new columns I've created.

Hopefully this block will end soon and then I'll drop the code in place for the scoring calculation and you'll get a better estimate of your reward.

With the current implementation, all that would have to be pulled out of the database for each request and that gets resource intensive.

I figured a way to set it up with some triggers that will allow me to collect that information with a more simple query though.  I'm going to be working on that now and I will update it shortly.

Inaba, I have no problem with the estimate still being proportional.  I think an easy way to get a more accurate estimate would be to take the 15 min average total hash rate from the my workers page * 50 / pool hash rate.
