3. mining is still working and we will be paid by slush per block instad of PPS
I hope we don't get paid out without PPS because it would [truly] suck to earn what a GPU card owner earns for the last two days of delivered work. I put out about 1000 times more work than the average person using a medium range [single] GPU card.
Just on the day of the outage I discovered 2 blocks. (Got a screen cap of it too)
I am the last person in a circle to be "the greedy type" but lets hope some metrics or thoughts are put into play when dispersing funds. Like one Mod mentioned in the Custom Hardware Mining board, I pay out more in fees than the average GPU owner earns in a day (possibly even in a month if I am not mistaken). Or at least that is what the Mod hinted at when they ran the numbers against various fee sizes.
Edit: Anyway, it really takes the wind out of my sails just hearing about that.
If anything, he could probably take our average hash rate from prior blocks and apply it as the missing data to spread the btc accordingly. My hash rate doesn't vary too much and is pretty constant.
