My workers that I shut down last night due to diff increase are still reporting a hash speed because they have shares in this block.  Very disconcerting.


with a score of 0!
but why would u shut them down? cpu miners?

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking.

Congratulations, just keep it like that !  I wish to quit soon too..

I increased my hashing capability by 50% yesterday, three blocks before this mega long block.  I was hoping to see a great looking graph at the end of the day.  I guess I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow. Undecided


it sucks, right? we also added 1 block erupter today and wanted to see if it was enough to cover for the difficulty jump... been waiting 7hrs for a first earning on our huge 1.1GHash... lol... hoping for 0.0015, and if more miners leave the pool, we'll probably make it, too... but when?!

11h !!  Wow.. kinda long.. I wonder what the 1 day luck % will be when this one will be found !

I've made a "mining room" in the basement, and just before the begining of this block, I powered up all the mining that was down due to migration !  At least, no more noise and heat in my computer room.. quite a releif Smiley

I want to shut this machine down and mirror the HD... but I know damn well if I do that this block will end in minutes then we will find 2-3 quick ones!! that is always what happens when I attempt these things!

Be a good sport and do it, 10 hours is no fun ;-)

Yeah best to do that kind of stuff after a few short blocks - but it's always a gamble Smiley

Funnily enough I had to power down 2 pc's for 15 mins and chose to do it 3 hours into this marathon of a block - good call.

We almost at 100% but I got a feeling this slows exponentially so that 99.99% CDF could take an hour ?

Shares contributed in current round: 150960764
Current shares CDF: 99.70 %  

Not sure if more shares are needed with higher diff, I guess so

It doesn't work like that STT - you can't put a time on it - theoretically we could wait a week without finding a block - it's just unlikely. The CDF is merely a statistical indicator not a rule.

And mining shares with a higher diff will only serve to ease the load on the network communications between you and the pool servers - has no affect on whether we find blocks faster or slower.

The only thing to do is be patient and carry on mining - any one person in the pool could be just about to solve the next block...

Wow. Well I've come this far, I sure ain't bailing now  Smiley

Plus the more people drop out, the bigger your slice of the pie will be when we solve a block... of course there is that whole pesky idea about less hashing power=longer time between solving blocks...  but lets just ignore that for now. 
Good JUJU  come our way!
 Cool

Has a block ever lasted this long before?
yes, there was at least one 12h block IIRC

I've seen almost 16 hours one time

confirmed, and it's not soo long ago either! I'm sure there will be plenty of 15min blocks again... though it seems a lot of miners have left slush during this block already... tststs impatient miners
