Who told me that I'm an idiot when I say that this might be a problem? Will he apologise?
It wasn't me and i don't remember such post from you, but it doesn't matter too much in this case:
All pools are using the same version 8.1 right now as there is just no other choice, so all of them get the same (similar) delay and all of them had increased chance for invalid blocks (reason for the global bad luck lately?), so it was not a problem for the Slush's pool only.
Well yes and no. At least one admin did a fix the same day. But I think that it was more then one...

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I start at the beginning of every round because I leave my miner running 24/7 and my score goes up and up and up and my reward goes down not sure why there is an inverted relationship between the two. I know I have a slow hash rate but I've got new mining equipment coming so I figured start slow to learn the process.
Stupid question vs 2.0 I take it that the lack of response to my question is a sign of the complete stupidity of the question or I'm being ignored so could someone please let me know were to find the answer thanks
I would answered you if I noticed you. Can you tell me your hashrate?
Lets just say not much higher than a cpu, not doing for coins right now doing to learn how it works and if it is worth the effort. understanding the beast before I try to feed it. it's around 50. I dont quit during the block and mine the whole time, I've had over a hundred shares one moment ( yes I know very low) and have a very small payout (.000078489)ish and then the next time I have 54 shares and a lower score and end up with .0002345.. only differences are that the first block took longer and I had a huge score and the second block only took like a half hour and a much smaller score.
Well 50 is not much so you have a bigger variance. You are doing less then a share per minute right? On a long block score is decaying faster so you will get much less if you don't send shares in in at the weary end and much more if you do. You can't just look at the shares. You must look at the score to. You can find total score on a statistic page and score for your miner at account page. From time to time this score will get reseated and sometimes some errors happens. Now that Slush is back I'm sure they will get fixed but if they don't get fixed till 50 conformations you might write something in this forum... But error at your speed would probably look like 0.00000000 a big variances are normal. When you get more speed you will see much less difference but still if you end mining before the end of a block difference will be big.
