So if Slush can't find a way to fix his pool even when he knows it has issues
Have you ever tried to find someone to take care for something very specific, which only you know? Guess what it take longer than for yourself to fix it. If he can't trust his (ex) hosting provider (OVH) how do you expect he can give to someone all the passwords/keys and etc for the pool?
Pool was working on the wrong block for x amount of time for y blocks. Block could be found in x*y amount of time... So in one case it is 100% loss in other could be anywhere from 0% to infinity(but probably average out to 100% long term)...
And this will always be the case for each and every pool ... and once again:
18264 2013-05-28 17:55:43 238386
and from blockchain:
Height 238386 (Main Chain)
Received Time 2013-05-28 17:55:41
We have found it 3 seconds later, but didn't know ... our x time is 3sec and for each and every block and for each and every pool or host on the network there is such time. I would agree if x is 1 minute or so, but come on 3 sec is
nothing
