Withholding Blocks.
I've only been mining less than a year.
I've heard of withholding blocks.
Pool finds a block, does not broadcast to network.
Apart from not earning a reward what effect does this have on the network?
Does this cause the orphan blocks?
Sorry for the questions would like to understand.
Flamer.

I worked Slush for several months last year. Switched to here when I learned that Con and Kano were the principals...they both have a well-earned rep for honesty and transparency that shows on the pool. I still monitor Slush; their FB content is incredibly obtuse. I don't expect every pool to have a FB page (gawd that would be a pain to maintain...I have to do that for three pages), but if you're going to have one, you should probably not be obvious about its propaganda mission...IMHO...

They were the ones withholding on Slush.
They obviously were testing their mining proxy/system live mining on Slush and it was fuxored, withholding blocks.
Testing code on a live pool means you are asking every other miner on the pool to risk losing BTC with your testing, rather than risk it all yourself.
Scum bags.
They should have solo mined to test their code until they found some blocks and thus knew it could at least do that.
I'd not go near them.
Though ... I guess I should try find out where they mine from and block them ... ... ...

Were they withholding just lately? This could explain Slush's luck numbers lately... I understand variance and high/low cycles being normal.. but these numbers have just been terrible:
That being said, I just switched over some more hash to Kano today.
You can read more about it on Slush pool's page, under the news section. But it announced back in Feb and he was very vague about the particulars. It wouldn't surprise me though if someone else was doing the same thing to that pool. They have been very slow to respond to problems. Unlike Kano.is
Kano is very transparent about issues and is actively involved in the thread and answering concerns.

no they did it on and off since 2015.
here is some advice anytime a 50 block count goes under 75% by very wary that the pool has a problem.
may be an error on the pool or may be the pool is attacked or may be an unknown.
but 50 block luck under 75% is not good.

You won't regret it. Do the numbers, Kano has the best payout. It is all about the payout. That Slush Dashboard is nice, but it does not pay the bills!

got it. thanks. Now under "N range", is it recording our Th/s the last 35 hours? or is that the Average of our N Avg the last 35 hours?
It is your average I believe.

So for the first time ever during a short period of bad luck I've stuck with a pool, that will be here.
Instead of pool jumping and getting nervous I'm just gonna ride it out and stick with you guys and gals.
To be fair, you all sound an interesting bunch on here and seem fairly friendly.
Catch you all soon.
Happy hashing Kano dudes!

Welcome to Kano Pool
You will see it's a great community and i am sure you will enjoy it!PS : new block
Great plan, I had to learn that one the hard way. We had a string of bad luck a few months ago and I started pool hopping. Bad choice on my part.
EDIT: Oh and welcome.

We always come back stronger after a short period of bad luck.
I would imagine that after some of our pool members get their new S9's online that our hash rate will move back up into the mid 40's where (I think) we do best.
My S9 will be online tomorrow to compliment my three S7's.
S9 that's my next step.
I'm running S7's all round my office and workshop.
I've spent the holiday money to double up but when I've earned it back I'll sell up and buy some S9's.
The wife needs a summer holiday, hope the plan works lol.

Does your 5nd start over if you Restart your miner?
A simple restart will not really effect your 5ND. If it stays off for hours it will. I think the 5ND is an average over approximately 35 hours.
Just as it takes about 1 1/2 days to stabilize your 5ND, it would take that long with your miner off to drop down to zero.
That's just my take on it. Perhaps others will have a better answer.
Hope that helps.

good to know that this pool just keeps chugging along regardless of what happens. got busy with irl stuff and come back and the thread has grown 30 pages and we are still knocking out the blocks at a decent pace. now i gotta buy myself a few more s9s and sell off the s7s i have so i dont go broke paying for power.
