Its not about people breaking it or breaking in, we are talking about months here, genuinely they should have had this in hand.
But its all good, its a moot point now, version 3 running, finally they getting multipooling going, hey all good.
hope they keep the 12.5petahash

Especially after seeing "Please note our core systems have not been touched in months."
This absolutely does not fill me with energy and confidence in regards to Slush.
Do you prefer someone braking it every day or two?
It means the system is stable and doesn't need much attention, which is a good thing IMHO
As stated in the email there is a lot of work being done, but probably on a test system and Slush will make it live when its ready and triple-checked, so nothing will be broken on core system

Just got a statement on luck in the mail (newsletter).  Online version: https://mining.bitcoin.cz/mailing/newsletter/ee6e9ec82dac/

Too little too late imo, been at Antpool since 19th June, tired of the up and downs, this last down was the nail in the coffin for me at Slush.
Especially after seeing "Please note our core systems have not been touched in months."
This absolutely does not fill me with energy and confidence in regards to Slush.

Once again slow to move and upgrade,  ultimately it just looks like the Slush management are slow to move everytime and that hurts miners.

Just like I thought ..... he's ALWAYS on the ball ..... and seems like a few PH just returned too! Here's to luck continuing to do its thing.
I don't think that's called "on the ball".
Done in time - yes.
On the ball - no.

Semantics really, but if switching over to v3 is literally that (turning a switch), then he'd have had to do the wiring for the switch beforehand for v3 to turn on when the switch is flicked (I'd say that's being on the ball). That slush switched over in (and on) time is a bonus to faint hearted mining there....

Ahh ... it is still v2! Still, slush is usually on the ball so we'll have to assume (for now) that they'll flick over as and when mining v3 becomes mandatory.
PS. Did anyone say something? Seems the pool hash spiked a bit in the last half hour or so .... may the luck keep doing its bit!
Well you just wanna hope no one finds a block here after the switch over is required, it will be rejected by the network and worthless if it isn't V3.

I've been at V3 since ... 9-May ... a while ... and I thought I was slow to switch over to 0.10.0 Tongue (now of course 0.10.1)

Slush is still mining Version 2 blocks. You have to upgrade ASAP or will be left behind.

For miners of Slush pool, I suggest you move to a pool supporting Version 3 block until Slush is upgraded, or your work may just be wasted.

 can anyone confirm this? this seems like a pretty large oversight by the pool... how long has version 3 been out?
Just look at whatever the last block found is.

Yep he's still V2

I have to say, whatever tweak slush did to get the luck back, he should have done a while ago. If indeed it is switching over to the latest v3 whatever, then it was long overdue! Here's to the luck keeping up doing its thing (block version notwithstanding)!

It has been a sticky topic in the Pools subforum for 3 weeks, and the switch to V3 via BIP66 has been in motion for quite a long time before that.

Version 3 will become mandatory when the red line hits 2.95. This may happen in as soon as 2 days.

A quick reminder to everyone - if you're moving to another pool *after* bad luck, it's already too late. You're just as likely to have poor luck at another pool, unless it's a pool that pays PPS.


Looks like blocks are back and so am I its mining on slushes tonight. Its a Free for All...........


(sing to Ted Nugent)


P.S. organofcorti is right still can't beat slushes. Reminds me of a girl I broke up with and wish I didn't.

Poor impulse control.

Around 3 PH/s is back at Slush and some blocks finally hitting.  Once BTCGuild shuts down maybe miners will split between Eligius and Slush and we can get some luck back.  I would like to point my hash back at Slush instead of Antpool or BTCChina that I recently moved to.
Oops might be true I found myself their too

Someone else have seen mining pool data synchronization in the last week?

I would go to another pool. I have tried to stay with them and noticed even the btcguild outperformed them. I tried and once a month I'll check their stats however something is fishy. Their payout estimates with comparable hashrates though lowerd are different. They don't match last weeks
