Something strange is happening again with the payout queue.
I entered the payout queue in the late teens of blocks ahead and then it went all the way to 26 blocks ahead. I have since dropped down to 22 blocks ahead and now I am starting to climb back up again, meaning more blocks ahead of me.
Why does the blocks before me in the payput queue go both up and down. I thought that once you enter the queue, any new blocks solved would just move you closer to the payout, not farther back in the queue.
If this has been answered before, then assisting with a link would be helpful, no need to repost the info.
Thanks.
Topic: Eligius: 0% Fee BTC, 105% PPS NMC, No registration, CPPSRB - page 215. (Read 1061449 times)
Just want to note that Eligius has been under constant DDoS attacks for well over a week now. Mitigation sometimes requires temporarily killing one or more public facing IPs and letting miners reconnect to others. As long as you're using the proper hostname, stratum.mining.eligius.st, then your miners should do all of this automatically.
What a ball-ache wk - how can you mitigate against this kind of anal attack... More servers is all I can think of... Keep up the good effort!
Mitigating DDoS attacks is pretty basic, depending on whether they're trying to attack the TCP stack (like SYN floods) or the protocol (like that NTP reflection attack that was going on a couple of months ago). More servers won't help unless you have a genuine scaling problem.
Luck has no relation to how many people are connected, disconnected, reconnecting, whatever. It is a stat that has no real meaning whatsoever and is there as fun information. It is calculated based on difficulty and accepted shares for the round.
If a miner is disconnected they have no shares being accepted and thus are not factored into the calculations.

Oh! Of course! Sorry, I forgot how simple the luck calculation actually is. That's what I get for posting without having any caffeine...
That's what I suspected.
Has about as much of a chance as the DDoS attacks: zero.
Would praying to Zeus change our luck?

Luck is luck. Stop trying to spread FUD. Everything is accounted for here, and there is next to zero trust needed here as everything is verifiable. You can look look at your own traffic and see that every share you submit hashes 'Eligius' into the block's coinbase. Feel free to do your own scan of the blockchain.
Also, DDoS attacks have had no impact on luck, nor can they possibly have any impact on luck. Again, luck is luck. I don't see anyone complain when we have days/weeks where we're well over average luck... which is just as probable.

Once a day my commute miner against another pool because the failover is activated.
Is there a problem in the pool for users with KNC?
then connect with stratum.mining.eligius.st: 3334?
Thx in advance!

Most likely shuffling of resources on this end due to DDoS attacks causing you to need to reconnect occasionally.
Could it be that the calculated luck numbers are being skewed by the people having connectivity problems? If the pool has a certain TH/s, then (say) 10% of those people drop connections for an hour, how long does it take for the pool to re-calculate its expected block rate? I assume it uses the 3-hour rolling average, but if the round starts when everybody is connected, wouldn't the luck calculation be set at that time, and not change until the next round? Of course, the opposite would also be true, and push the luck upwards temporarily, but adding hashrate makes blocks be found quicker, thus resetting the luck calculation faster.

How could 90 days of 87% happened? It just happens.
Everyone has the same income. My is also about 75%...
If you don't trust pool operator the only thing you can do is change the pool. But at current difficulty/hashrate it is hard to say that anything is wrong at the moment.

Go to blockchain.info and see how many blocks do Eligius find. You will see it is only that... It happened the same on BTCGuild. 90 days average was 87%... It happens...
EDIT: Numbers from there: Approximate Pool Luck* (24H / 3D / 1W / 2W / 1M / 3M / 6M): 82.260% / 89.902% / 91.992% / 88.882% / 89.889% / 97.229% / 100.716%
So if you would be at BTCGuld you would last 2 weeks only got 89% and last month 90%... - 3% fee... And 2 days back thus numbers were much lower... It looks like new privet mining operations have good luck since all public pools have bad...

>> maintaining your 3-hour average hash rate of 218.87 Gh/s is 0.02198455 BTC per day.
>> Latest Payout: 2014-03-28 08:41:50
>> Estimated Total: 0.02323145 (as of 2014-04-02 01:36:00)
So I should have made like 0.065 but I made 0.023 instead in the last three days.

yes, I met the same problem.
everyone please check your account. The payment is wrong!!!
Just check your income. 25%-30% is missing. Is there something wrong?
I've changed pool. Eligius has very very low hashrate 40 % less than normal. On ghash.io all my miners are working fine
Yes luck is down... Number is estimate not what you will get. Long term average will be that but there will be days you will see much more or much less...

Any hypothesis as to why?
Has it contributed to the bad luck at all? The payment queue is quite long.
Good reason to split hashing between pools, eclipse had a pair of ball busters: 2 days of hashing with 600gh for what: 2 cents? :-)
Luck will stabilize out. However as difficulty goes up we *will* see more variance.

EDIT: sorry glitch in the stats wasn't showing the last actual payout, which was on the 31st, so I'm fine with the pool. Thx

I'm just noticing that over the last 3 days, I've only made approximately 30% of my expected returns, and it seems to be just bad luck from this pool. That's some serious, sustained bad luck.
According to my math:
last 10 blocks: 151%
last 12 hours: 125%
last 24 hours: 89%
last 7 days: 74%
