Oh bugger, I just sent it over 10PH/s.  Got bored and pointed 140TH/s at Slush.  I've now sent them back where they belong.  My apologies if I've kicked off a 24hr block.

Always baffles me how the pool can go so long without a block then two are struck down almost consecutively.
... because luck is a measure of the past and finding a block is not affected by the last time you found one.
(and the human mind tends to remember the extreme and forget the average)

Yup, I think the phenomenon that SargeR33 observes isn't just confined to mining pools, I get this feeling when I play in casinos too!

Going through a proper slow down.  Hate anything over 6 hours.

Not long now before the blocks start falling over themselves seeing diff has gone up to 46.7 from 44.5 ...... fingers crossed, thats if my theory about slush's algorithm being fast to learn how to crack blocks at new diffs is right.
There is no algorithm to change how fast you find blocks and it is completely unrelated to the network difficulty other than the simple test "Is this share a block?"

You can try till you're blue in the face, but some people just can't or won't learn.

You are so full of yourself @kkurtmann. I am sure you are not alone in the crowd that believe's that whatever is written in this thread (or forum) has to be aligned to your thinking, but as you've taken it on yourself to define me as you have I better point out to you that the reference to a slush algorithm was actually a joke (in jest of the 9.9 thresh-hold) which I am sure you've noticed the person who started it acknowledges it to be as much. I did not respond to @kano's comment because I felt embarrased for having indulged him in the joke, not because he said anything I did not know.
So all in all, I am sure you know who the fool here is .... it certainly is neither @kano nor me ... lets see!

FFS!!  Slow block times here.  Betarigs upgrading and ruined their site for now.  Nicehash having issues.  What a crap mining day!  Sat here looking at monitors full of misery.  Think I'll go have a jacket potato and maybe things will brighten up.

This is in direct correlation to how many beers one drinks.  Tongue 

Also depends how many leprechauns are mining too.

It's funny how my latest Betarigs rental started the exact same time as the wifes "Lets fuck with the internet" day. Had to pay out 3 hours compensation.  Angry

I think this got to stop. The point has been already be made about 10 PH. In the end it does effect the pool in negative way. Stop this madness!!!!!

Anyone tried Nicehash before?  Also known as Westhash.  Thoughts?

I rented on Westhash during the Paycoin rush and made out very good for about a week.

Was that selling or buying hash. I've just set up selling

I sold during the PayCoin rush and was buying last week for p2pool

Put nice or westhash in the #1 spot on your pool list and  if you set your password to  p=.0xx put what you will take as the lowest amount like .0112 your miners will stay failed over to the next pool on your list until that price is met.

The network is definitely slow today .... is it due to the impending difficulty change? Not sure, is that due 23rd Feb (aka 2 weeks after the last change on 9th Feb)? Network block just finished was 32mins .... never-mind, I'll look up the interwebs!
