http://catc.speedhash.eu SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the fuck!!!!!! this bloody pool has been down from right after I went to bed around 3:00AM to 8:00AM (GMT+2)

And you call yourselves professionals! Fuck you guys, you are not making it fair...

[Really angry and pissed-off]

We were just unlucky not to find any blocks at that time. But it doesn't mean we were down.

Look:

On the other hand we were much more lucky before and after. In the end blocks are being found @ average pace among all pools.

SpeedHash is a SCAM?

According to this [1] from block 590 to 711 your pool has not found any block (almost 5 hours!).
However if we look at the address you are using for the reward (from block 791 for instance [3] -> CWZKAp7BdeveELrXkpyMUozpujEPAeoWsQ).
The block explorer says that your pool has found blocks 637, 645, 663, 680 [2] which means 64 CATc you kept for yourself!!

Can you explain this please?

Even its not our pool, but for your mentioned blocks its just a transaction OUT from the adress. So not the pool has found the block, its just used for a transaction.

That is true, I mess up with INPUT and OUTPUT. However this exact 16 CATc output transactions are a little curious.

And by the way, I don't believe that pool has been running for 5 hours without finding any block.
Anyone here knows how to calculate the probability of NOT finding a block during 5 hours with scrypt-n difficulty 8-10 and 30MH/s of hash power?

IMO there might be two answers:

1. some technical problem which the pool owner does not want to tell
2. pool changed its CATc reward address and mine for some hours for itself

Is there any way to verify the second point?
