I don't know, but if you provide some examples (number of diff1 equivalent shares you think you submitted, number of diff1 equivalent shares the pool thinks you submitted) I'll see.

Can you or maybe anyone answer a question for me I've had for awhile?

It seems pools do not count the shares submitted correctly or something. Are they not able to count a number over 999? For instance BTC Guild shows a total number of shares submitted per work block then a total overall. I have several single submissions that are way above my total overall shown and a lot over my shown work block when I hit like 377k submitted or 3.04m submitted.

It seems the systems miss anything ending in K or m submitted. Is this true overall. I know I had a 55 plus m submitted on Slush then found out that the pool dosen't count but only the last hour or part depending on time. Understandable and my luck wasn't with me then I guess, no problem.

But my BTC Guild is doing same and it seems they can't count the ending K or m. Is it counting a submission like 8.49k as 849. 8.49 or? It seems it is not 8,490 as I get dozens of these over and over and even the occasional 18plus m submitted.

My submission rate always stays the same on both pools give or take 2000 shares no matter that I submit numbers ending in k over and over or a number ending in m once in awhile. Just curious.

Not really.

"Luck" = Submitted shares per round / network difficulty. This is not affected by a pool's hashrate.

 ...... In fact, last week about 50% of the hashing power got booted. Something like that certainly does and did affect luck.

Yes this pool is slow to openly address issues if at all I agree there but don't know about other things cause way over my head. I do like BTC Guild provides so much info but still seem to be making more here by small amount. That could all change again though. LOL

True, maybe, BUT... The pattern I see is we have maintenance issues and then a period of horrible luck. Sometimes I think the pool 'appears' to be working fine, but behind the scenes perhaps it is not, either way we usually don't get much feedback on what is happening. I'd love to see a time-series plot of our daily blocks found overlaid with the maintenance issues or tickets submitted. My hypothesis is during times of high issues reported that our blocks solved dips significantly. From what I see it's always during and after periods with technical issues that we have horrible "luck", which really makes the 'luck' value something other than pure.

Just remember the pool will always go up and down, always. Slush is not stealing anything from anyone you can go see what block numbers have been mined and by who and check this against the Slush pool numbers and they will match exactly.

We have bad period and good ones, so do other pools. That's just the way it is. Don't try to over think any pool because you probably will loose trying to outguess what will or could happen.

And he is right the pool seems better now.

pool seems to be alright now

Hi everyone,

total beginner here, I read the guide, registered on this pool to get up and runinng, but I have a problem.

I use GUIMiner on my Windows PC, with these parameters :

host : stratum.bitcoin.cz
port : 3333

login and password for the worker (got it from the pool website, no it's not my website login)

start de bitcoin original client in server mode, and then clic on mining, here is the console :

At the heart of a free-market is the right for people to voice opinions and freely mine wherever they want. I raise your "STFU" and "keep calm and mine on" Communist bullshit with a "Go screw dummy"- get a clue about what you are encouraging, stop and think about it, really think. The SIMPLE fact is that because of the voiced opinions us miners have a way to hold pool operators accountable and we have a method to inform each other by sharing knowledge and opinions here. I think it's silly and sad that people like you want others to bury their head in the sand rather than freely share opinions. Glad our luck turned around for now, but this is the place I hope to come for unfiltered user feedback, not blind faith and ass kissing propaganda. Long live Slush, until/unless there is a "better" pool because we are all free to vote with our hardware, and hopefully we encourage criticism here to share all the necessary information if/when things point towards our pool having a disadvantage. We all pay a fee, and nobody gives me "props" for simply doing my job, gotta go above and beyond for that and from what I know there's no real level of personalized service, just widespread technical issues, silence, and sudden fixes that (usually) happen after a few days.

Your suggestion to shut people up is a concept that kills the transparency needed for a competitive market, anyone that has studied econ 101 knows that competition drives innovation and the end result is the best solution for the market. A bunch of forums with a "STFU and keep mining" policy would be a world full of shitty pools with no accountability for their actions. It's a forum, free speech is essential. I'll say it would be nice for newbie questions to remain in the newbie forum, but if someone has a problem with this pool bet your ass I want to know about it, and if there's another pool without said problem I want to know about that too. If not for that, why else would we be here? Bad luck therapy and good luck "atta boys"? Even if we are delighted with the service it is through an open platform that encouraged criticism that we can ensure the quality is maintained, or improved when needed. Even knowing that you tried other pools without excessive commitment is valuable information, it's just the whole "stfu" thing where you are crossing a line that nobody here should ever strive for.
