I disagree, there hasn't been a block miscalculation since the one everybody went berserk about exactly one week ago.

block=start_time,duration,reward,hashes,luck,difficulty,confirmations
235160=2013-05-08 15:13:44,1:27:14,0.00000096,9167,1.34,10076292,100

Since then people have been reporting the slightest variations as problems - when it's perfectly normal to have some variation - based on your own luck and the pool's luck as a whole.

Where people are reporting zero payouts, they are showing that they have submitted no shares - meaning connectivity issue - not block calculation issues.

I think Slush is monitoring from afar (I don't blame him for not coming on here with all the bitching going on) and long may it continue. Connectivity issues should be kept separate from the block miscalculation issues (which seem to have disappeared as I say).

User was looking at screen as he reports(and he is not the only one). I had logs that prove that shares are missing(unfortunately log is deleted when you restart CGminer and I deleted the copy from my computer since there were no way to report it to Slush and the block got confirmed). CGminer reported accepted shares(meaning that cgminer sanded the share and pool confirmed it valid) and pool didn't record them. Nobody is saying it is a calculation issue. It is database issue when you see this.

And I don't think Slush is monitoring this. Unfortunately I starting to think that something happened to him about 10 days ago and he can't control the pool and it is having bigger and bigger problems.

I still use Slush as a backup pool and I did see in time of maintenance of my new pool one miner connecting on Slush(stratum) and the other with same configuration going over all stratum server and api to old backup. So tell me that this is normal for a normal working pool. After loosing on 13 blocks I have given up on Slush since it cost me about 0.05BTC

Man, all the Fear/Uncertainty/Doubt you can dish up.

All the blocks I've seen with incorrect payouts were eventually corrected. I see some people freak out just after "Processing..." is completed. It's clear there are multiple calculations on different boxes to get the final number. I suspect on some of the blocks with "short" payouts, one of the boxes is missing from that calc. You can refresh and watch it grow in 3rds...

I think the pool is better than ever. He moved to a more stable host (and faster IMHO).... I think he's tired of having 5000 employees and having a handful of those who work the least complain the most.

He's recalculating "short" blocks... it seems correct... but I tell you what. Log your next block session, don't lose the logs, and come back and complain with some REAL evidence you're being shorted. Coming on here and bitching about what you suspect doesn't do anyone any favors.'

There are logging options in cgminer. Use them, do the math, and then come back with real evidence and make some real accusations. The pool has never been stronger.... He reacted to a theft, and a DDoS attack, and it's still going strong. All the while, maintaining a good attitude and helping people. Give the guy a break... and we'll see you back next block with some real evidence, right?

You relay don't get it. I had log and this is first time in 10 days someone asked for it. I have explained how I know what I know in forum and also why I can't post them directly. Read back and you will figure it out why none asked to have them. And I'm not the only one who had this problem so realy. I'm not moving back just to give you a log. I'm not stupid. Since I moved I didn't have to make a single complaint about payouts and look at a single log since all is as it should be. Last days at Slush were:"Hell what was wrong with this one, this one and this one...", connecting to miners to see why they are not submitting shares seeing everything is OK and hoping it will fix out. Hell no I don't need this drama. I like that I only need to refresh a page once a day and see all is well. It is relaxing.
