Now, if you don't trust Slush to have a sane scheme for distributing mined blocks according to your contributions until the pool goes back to normal, just go mine somewhere else for a while. No one will think any less of you. Heck, someone is even entitled to have a wacky theory that Slush is using the pool to mine only for himself, what do I know! Mine on your own then for now! But can we please stop spamming this thread with wild rumours, misconceptions about computer security and questions that could damn well have been answered within the thread if the thread itself wasn't spammed with said rumours and questions (negative reinforcement loop?).
Please go and watch TV, play games, work, have a wee, wank off or whatever and let's see when the only person that can bring clarity to all this (Slush) is done with priority number one (getting the pool infrastructure/homepage in order) and can motivate spending time on calming down a bunch a mining loons (myself included).
I read the post you qouted. I wasn't worried until I read this
3. mining is still working and we will be paid by slush per block instad of PPS
And since I didn't find anything else on that I was starting to wonder... I know we are not PPS but I was unsure what method slush will use and since database was down it look like something that is a possibility... Since I'm not on IRC all the time I thought that came from there...
