Don't confuse the website with the pool. I don't see any reason to be concerned.

My Eligius unpaid balances dropped to 0 without payment and my hash to zero about 3 minutes ago.

The estimated total looks OK.

I am unfortunately - not at that location and did not set up a way to independently verify connectivity.

I saw the same thing, went back to check at location, miners are online and hashing.

In fact, total hashrate shows 0 on the home screen.

Hm... why is my unpaid balance suddenly on 0.0 on every account?
Because you were paid.

blockchain.info is nearly entirely misinformation in general, and is better off ignored.

This is true, if you trust the PPS pool to take on that risk and not run off with the bitcoins...
Are there any PPS pools left?

Eclipsemc is still up and running. They've been quite fair overall, I've mined DGM with them for awhile and although it's maddening when it takes days to hit a block there are those 5 block days that send things all over. So it pretty much evens out. My son mines with PPS, and he's running at the expected 95% rate.

True about stale blocks, collisions are a loss. I've sometimes thought that a huge pool would have a very *slight* advantage in the first few seconds because they would be the only ones mining on a "new" block while the block propagates as solved to the other pools, but that's a small advantage and the only one I really could think of.

As for the shelved shares system, that sounds quite fair, nice way to do it. Granted when the payout halves they will lose value, but until then it's better than having them track the work one did at the time one did the work.

The 2nd biggest pool is 4% PPS... DiscusFish. And yes, it's a public pool.

I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)

What do you think about Matt Corallo's backbone idea for Eligius?

If the amount I simply will never get back in shelved shares exceeds 5% then it would have made more logical sense to mine straight pps at 5%.

Of course luck is simply that, luck. However given that bitcon is a true no house edge system then there must be 50% of the people as "winners" to offset the 50% as "losers".
Not quite. Stale blocks (which are the only reason shelved shares won't reach 0%) are wasted hashing on the network. So nobody "wins" there.

Actually I never thought about this but: Do shelved shares "depreciate" in value as difficulty goes up, or are they paid at the value they had in terms of finding a solution when they were mined?
They're counted as a percentage of block subsidy. So they're paid based on the original difficulty, but once the block subsidy halves, they lose half their apparent value also.

It's because I popped back in. Now let's see if I can pick up that 5% of shelved shares that's been sitting out there for a few months. Speaking of which, any way to figure out the bitcoin value of one's shelved shares?
You can calculate it from the percentage, but that's a meaningless number.
Sort of did that in my head yesterday, however it does have a bit of meaning: If the amount I simply will never get back in shelved shares exceeds 5% then it would have made more logical sense to mine straight pps at 5%.

Ok time for a good comment, the luck gods like us 14 blocks in the last 24 hours
Heathen! This is why we have bad luck!
Pray to the true God and His faithful St. Eligius. Smiley
