COOL!
so are you mining solo? or so you mean you found the block somehow through slushs pool?

No, found it as part of the pool effort. It's the first time they've found one, quite chuffed

Just noticed that one of my miners found a block; 313457. That's the first block I've found Grin

and I've been mining since March

If slush's pool penalizes people for leaving not staying, whats to stop someone joining the round right at the end doing a few Gh/s then getting the same 'estimated reward' as they would if they were there mining all the time on that round? Is that how it works?

it meant nothing!

Searing

So what is the best PPS pool still around. I was going to go deepbit - but they don;t have stratum.
Does BTC Guild only have PPLNS system now? If so would that work for me - when i switch off my miners, would my rewards remain?
Thanks

Eklipse found block at a speed of 840Th. I think that somewhere we switched and we are working for someone else and not for yourself.

Back to load balancing again... Incredible how 10 mins into load balancing and expected Slush payout has halved despite 24 hours of full speed contributions! Hmmm...

You know, this is something... I have noticed the inverse as well - I plugged in a new miner 11 hours in, effectively doubling my hashrate, and an hour later the pool found a block and I got a payment proportional to if the new miner had been mining the whole 12 hours.

It seemed my share of the payout was calculated on the past hour - not the whole 12 hours I had been mining at 50%.

Thanks AFlatMinor - you guys are great! Thanks for the help. I would have been mining for days on and off for nothing.
So what is the next best thing to slushs pool that will let me keep my rewards even if i dont finish the round etc. I was really keen on slushs but perhaps BTCGuild?

Thanks mate! Good to know.
Is this to prevent pool hopping. Yes, you lose yours shares very quickly Do i have to stay in the pool for the whole round. Yes at the end of the round you will only get whatever is in the "expected" field And if so how can i tell when a round is starting/ending so i know not to switch off my rig! If you can figure that out please let me know Wink

Thanks so much

Yes you can click on the statistics link on the left side of page to see the current pool stats which will tell you when the last block was found, current server time, time on current block and lots of other good stuff.
Its best to go offline at the beginning of a block and then join back in since the pool-hopping check penalizes leaving before end of block more (higher reward for later shares). You still get rewarded for all shares submitted but the reward is larger for later shares.

If i have to switch off my rig occasionally - would i be better in a pool that was not designed to prevent pool hopping. That way i could get my reward for the shares i did - even if i switched off my gear half way through.
Is BTCGuild like this?

No. Here, if you stopped production after a few minutes of remuneration will be only memories.
