I might have quipped this before, but it bears repeating: variance happens, even in a pool the size of BTC Guild. Heck, even in a network the size of BTC as a whole, variance happens.
Doesn't make it any less annoying, but the reality is that kvetching is part of the fun, too.
Now, leave me alone while I try and figure out how to load balance...

Looks like we are loosing hashing power.
Always happens when a pool has a period of shitty luck. Just funny that it happens to Guild within 12 hours of bad luck (but still solving blocks), while other pools will have 10-20 hours on ONE block before they start to really lose any speed.

An updated namecoind will be deployed on all servers tomorrow in preparation for the hardfork to fix the bug that was discovered a few months ago. This should be completely transparent (all the servers are setup to ignore namecoind if it fails), but just giving everybody a heads up in case something does go wrong during that update.
I've already given it a test update on the DDoS filtering server, and everything went smooth even with a somewhat shaky update on that server (took a few tries to remember which RPC calls I modified in namecoind to make it work just like bitcoind).
While you're at it, can you press the Pool Luck button?I've already given it a test update on the DDoS filtering server, and everything went smooth even with a somewhat shaky update on that server (took a few tries to remember which RPC calls I modified in namecoind to make it work just like bitcoind).

OYE give me your hashing power!

Just seems like a real bad 10 hrs or so
it was my fault.. I switched back to PPLNS which is always the kiss of death...
I went back to PPS so you all can have your big luck again!!
my bad

So, I zoomed in on the graph just out of curiosity. To bring some perspective in here, this "terrible" bad luck has only been going on the last ~11 hours as of this post.
yep its a bummerbut as they say
"what goes around comes around"
just hope its sooner rather than later lol

Hey, you guys remember when we had 8 out of 10 blocks? Good times.

Here's a strange coincidence - just when transaction revenue was all time high (source: http://imgur.com/fVnj0PV,yklZue7) the BTC guild pool luck was all time low (source: http://imgur.com/fVnj0PV,yklZue7#1)
This accounted for hundreds of BTC lost revenue for the miners.
Coincidence? What do you think?

Ah the joy of two independent events. No, there is nothing sinister at stake. It can be proven as well. BTC Guild only works over Stratum. This means you can see the coinbase for every piece of work you're given. In that coinbase you can clearly see that the wallet every block BTC Guild mines to is still the same (along with the Mined by BTC Guild tag). There's no way to hide those blocks from the world.
I think I just had deja vu.

yes, I don't think there is a way to game this

It's awful variance. Lady Luck not only kicked us to the curb, she curb-stomped us while she was at it. Gruesome imagery, but it seems fitting at the moment. 
Hopefully she will turn her favor on us once again, Soon™.
