Nearly identical round time. Nearly identical shares. 5.49% reward. I don't care how much cheating is being prevented by the score system, you can't convince me this isn't pure bull.
I'm going to BTCGuild.
Later Slush.
It is a 20% difference in shares. You had some problems in 19078. And if they were on the end of the round you are on a loosing side of this. But if there were on the start you would get about the same as for 18077. This is just a way it is with Slush method. Unless you are saying that you were mining all the time and you did monitor it or log it and you didn't see any brakes in mining.
P.S.: You are not big but BTC Guild has 51% problems. Consider any other pool to help them out.
20% difference in shares is negligible compared to the factor of 180 between the rewards. Yes, I gave my GPUs a 5 minute cool down period near the end of the round. I don't think that deserves the loss of nearly all rewards from almost 2.5 hours of mining. I realize that is a matter of Slush's method, but that doesn't make it tolerable. I'm not a solo/pool jumper. I prevent my cards from cooking once in a while. This is not the first time I lose out due to short down periods. While I agree that giving more power and wealth to the already massive pool that charges 50% more than Slush is a bitter pill to swallow, I'm tired of being on the losing end. I know I'm not "big", but I'm certain I'm not the only one getting shafted this way.
