Anyone else having trouble connecting to the pool?
I'm trying to connect with guiminer 2011-08-24.
I've created an account at the pool's site, and registered a worker.
I edited the bitcoin.conf file to look like this:
rpcuser={Random user name}   <-Should this be the fill name of my worker, as displayed on the site?)
rpcpassword= {random password}
rpcport=8332
rpcconnect=http://api.bitcoin.cz:8332

I've also tried omitting those last 2 lines and replacing them with "server=1" as per another guide I read somewhere.
Neither seems to work.

Somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong here!

poclbm/GUI miner is affected by serious bug. If your miner is crashing on 'unexpected error' message, please follow miner forums for the newest versions.

Use CGMiner, Phoenix or DiabloMiner...

One good thing about a streak of bad luck like this as that some people bail on the pool after a while, which brings the pool hash rate down, which in turn brings my block rewards up.

I know it has a lot to do with luck, but I find that the lower the pool hash rate is, the better I tend to do overall...


Say what? Have you considered how high your earnings per round would have to be to make up for lost earnings due to an 11 hour block?

But but but...it's all relative. You still make the same in the end regardless of what the pool hashrate is, it's just the rate at which the earnings come in that varies. It's a psychological thing. Personally I prefer a moderately high hashrate so variance is not so cruel. But after seeing 14+ hour blocks I can see why so many miners snowball into the deep bit...

A 14 hour block and the one day luck goes up over 100%? something is wrong

Says 49% for me... Maybe it hadn't finished calculating when you looked.

yeah, it really looks like the pool luck is broken.  At least the 24hr number is.  There's no way that can be right...

Pool luck is based on time of completed blocks only... Doesn't count blocks that aren't finished yet, so expect it to dive as soon as our monster block is complete (if ever, lol)

I do think it should take the current block into account if it takes over 2 or 3 hours, maybe a feature for the future?

Pool luck (1 day, 7 days, 30 days):   96%, 85%, 96%

Few hours ago the first figure was somewhere around 80-something %, anyone else noticed it?

We've now exceeded both the time and number of shares of the last extra-long round. Looks like we get to set a record without an outage as cause.

Oh, and thanks, slush!

Im pretty sure this is the worst (all three combined) luck ever (documented).

Afaik there was ~30% daily luck and ~80% monthly luck few months again. Luck in last few days is really strange, damn variance. However, long term luck (90 days and all time) is still 100%.
