Ok well it showed up. But in our recent 140 minute block I mined for the first 120 minutes before my PC crashed, during which I submitted about 1300 shares. My reward per block is normally 0.015 BTC but this blockI was only rewarded 0.0012 (10x less)?? Why isn't my work being counted?

Because of the score based system.  Each share is worth more than the previous one, on an exponential curve.

That's ridiculous, I legitimately submitted shares in 120/140 minutes because of a BSOD and I get 10 times less?

I may as well just not have mined for 2 hours at all...all of the money that I worked for is getting paid to everyone else who didn't legitimately work for it...

That's the reason I switched to deepbit. I like slush but my computer network is not always stable.

To be fair, slush implemented the score based system to prevent pool hopping (which is bad to the pool). I just wish they implement a different method such as delayed stats.

BTC Guild just implemented delayed stats within the past week. The jury is still out on whether things have improved for those of us who don't pool hop, but time will tell.

Delayed stats sounds very good. Lets face it, theres always *something* going on. Even if its on a small scale, some minor tweak or what, how many of you said "never touch a running system" or "i wont ruin my afternoon" because of the score system ?

I dont care how many rounds, shares and so on. Reading that stuff a day later would be totally ok.

All i need to know is, if its running ok and if performance is ok, lag maybe, whatever.
Realtime details are not necessary. Just give us a basic idea and everything is fine.
