If Slush changed the pool's reward method to PPLNS, DGM or PPS, most of the payment issues would go away. He was going to do this well before Trezor was a sparkle in his eye. It's a huge shame, DeepBit going the way it has and Slush's pool seemingly on the way - more parts of the network's history disappearing.
Agreed. I mined at Slush's from I began mining, but I left for good when things started going a bit wrong - wonky payments and the likes. It's a shame, it was a good pool.
Slush is planning/programming new reward system and all sorts of other stuff. Hopefully his pool will endure this hard time and be reborned like phoenix :-)
