As far as I know there there was no network drop and nothing went down from what I can tell.
I have two separate connections coming that are bridged and then connected to the switch my miners connect to. Even if i lost one incoming line the other one would have still carried the load. I have been looking as far back as I can and didn't see anything off, no loss of connection no miners dropping, just seems like I got the shaft.
I did submit a ticket, but I do that for every problem and never hear anything back. There is always a slight variance to the number of shares my miner pulls compared to the pool since they can not seem to find a var diff they like they are always bouncing around, I just go with it since this is more of a hobby for me then anything, but it is just discouraging when I get hit with a problem like this.
crashoveride54902 - What pool did you move to? I am considering jumping ship, its just a tough choice since I have been here since 2011, and it has never given me this much trouble as it has in the past month.
I was on Slush since June 2013 and have moved on as well. I now split my hashing between BTC Guild and Eligius evenly. I can compare the two pools and it seems when one pool is having good luck the other is having poor luck, so I am not sitting and waiting as I was with Slush. I also in the past have been paid what seems the wrong amount a few times that never were adjusted right but for the most part it was. I switched as the pools % of network hash rate has dropped to a point that the amount of blocks found on average is getting to low and the good luck days are getting to far in between. It's to bad as in the past when Slush was close to being at the top in size it paid much better than the other pools.
