Nevermind.  Looks like it took forever to update the payment for that last block.

I just moved to bitminter, because i feel like i am missing out on profit from nmc, if slush adds nmc, ill be back.

Lol - good riddance to you and any others. You wouldn't know a good pool if you drowned in it!  I defy any miner on slush pool to post a graph showing a daily decrease in their earnings.

Yea sure a couple blocks had funky payouts - I don't give a crap if it's variance or even a bug, because there is no detectable decrease in my earnings.

Didn't two NMC blocks just go through?

What's with all the NMC beef? I've been getting my NMC payouts?

I see that Slushs keeps in 9.5 Ghps from a lot of time. Others pools (as bitminter where i´m moving due razonable fees on getwork), are growing fast. In fact, the named pool grows from 7.5Ghps to 13Ghps in 15 days or less.

This means that some miners are in disagree with slushs services, due some strange calculations, or punisher reward system, and don´t keep here, or move his fast miners to more fairly reward system.

It's mi opinion.
Your observations about bitminter are correct; your conclusions are not.

Bitminter went from 7thps to 13tphs over the past 2 weeks because of 1 thing: ASICMiner has moved miners from BTCGuild (can you guess the reason?) to bitminter. ASICminer is running under a single user and has 6thps on bitminter right now; almost half the total pool hashrate.

That 6thps from ASICMiner is what brought bitminter up from 7 to 13 now; it has nothing to do with people migrating from slush.

From what I have seen in my (nearly) 2 years here Slush has always provided great service.

For a different perspective: Slush has a pool fee of 2%. At 9Thps that's the equivalent of 180Ghps which, at today's exchange rate, works out to Slush getting $1000/day from pool fees. For $1000/day it is not unreasonable for users to expect a certain level of service.

Now, if users feel they are getting value for their pool fee, they stay; if they feel they are not, they find a better pool and leave. It really is no more complex than that. One needs to look no further than Deepbit for a recent example of this; once the largest of all the pools, it is now just a mere shadow of its former self.



Given his prompt response to the hack And putting in the hours at some ungodly time of day/night for more than 1 day AND making sure people didn't lose out because of it is what i would call Quality of service. Im new here, but that response has convinced me to stay put.

Thank you!  Simple enough, stay or go!

bit harsh init...

according to google translate:

"этo в кaкoй интepecнo yзнaть"

means

"it is interesting to know what"

I thought that was quite philosophical...

Nope, you're wrong.

"Stealing" is when you take something for your own benefit. It would've been the case if Slush took those BTC for himself.

He didn't.

Those BTC got paid to a number of random people.

There was some (programming/internet/database/you name it) error that happened.

If there is anything wrong it would be that Slush isn't monitoring his pool on a daily basis to spot and correct issues like that. On the other hand though, he has never promised such thing either.

There's nothing to sort out.  All these complaints about rewards are either a result of variance on slow miners, or bad luck with the designed score reset.  There are no real problems.  Everything is working the way it's designed.

Which is why nothing is getting sorted out.

When there is a real problem, slush will make an appearance.
If that would be the only glitch I saw last days OK. But this is not a case. I'm seeing missing shares(log from cgminer), jumping from stratum to stratum2, stratum3, api, backup pool(log and shares on backup pool)... And I don't see it fixed. Because of some random errors I got less on about 7 to 9 blocks now. Others have problem connecting... I think that Slush took a holiday without internet or something happened to him and pool is degrading without maintenance. So yes it is a problem... Slush didn't make a appearance over a week. This is not normal for him.

EDIT: and even if you are right that this is how it should work, why did Slush fixed this in a past?
