Back from my week away and 3 hours after I get back, got into a pretty bad car accident. No one was *seriously* injured. Just a broken thumb for me and a bit of whiplash for everyone.

I'll try to answer the questions I noticed real quick though. (not fun typing)

Spondoolies are of interest and I'm looking to do something with them. I can assure you I'm not paying that outrageous price though Wink

BFL: no ship date in sight, but everything is ready for them. I'm running the numbers to figure out what to expect and see if there is a better way to handle the situation.

GHash no longer has the "bonus" producing equipment on it, but it seems to be producing less coins on other pools.... Something weird with GHash...

Tin foil hat wearing time but I might be able to add something to your comment - payout is better on GHash compared to other pools. I've read that they might be doing some variety of greedy mining, not releasing their blocks right away to try to run ahead of the pack and guarantee a better payout and for that reason they tend to pay a little bit better than other pools. Of course it's a crazy internet theory at best Grin

It's not crazy internet theory... There's something going on there and I've spoken to some of the smartest Bitcoin minds about it and they all agree. Running a 72 hour test against BTCGuild and have someone contacting Eleuthria about it.

I had considered the fact that they may be greedy miners for a couple months now.

Just posted to reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/280s3m/eligius_pool_operator_catches_block_withholding/

If ghash.io has more than 50% of the network hash available to them, but don't want to spook people, they direct hash at other pools, but withhold winning blocks. Which makes it more likely that they find blocks....
