This matter is now resolved - locking this topic. Thank you to everybody who helped us navigate and understand the trust system.

Cheers!

As noted in the email regarding the new T&C and operating entity change, we have started closing accounts inactive for a very long time (several years) and notifying such users via email.

That said, do not hesitate to contact our support team regarding any questions or assistance related to this topic https://help.slushpool.com/support/tickets/new

We just messaged all who gave a bad trust rating right after the hack ("2017-01-04"). But there seems to be no consensus about how many have to help us for the message to go away.. Actually it seems it wont help anyway.

Is there anything else we could try?
- Add positive ratings to tip the scales maybe?
- Beg Theymos for help in this odd case?
- Any other creative ideas?
- Anything that slush himself can do?

Hello fellow Bitcointalkers!

Some time ago user "slush" was hacked - it was during the time some bitcointalk pw hashes were stolen. Some scammer brutforced his account and started posting scams which were reported by other members. User slush got his account back very soon after the hack and setup a strong pw but a warning message is displayed in all threads he started years after the btctalk hack and we cant find a way to "appeal" or something.

For example, the original thread about Slush Pool is tagged as created by a scammer: "Warning: One or more bitcointalk.org users have reported that they strongly believe that the creator of this topic is a scammer. (Check their trust page to see the detailed trust ratings.) While the bitcointalk.org administration does not verify such claims, you should proceed with extreme caution." link https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1976.0



We, braiins.com acquired Slush Pool from Slush himself in summer 2020
1/ announcement https://braiins.com/blog/braiins-acquires-remaining-stake-in-slush-pool-slush-focusing-on-satoshilabs
2/ twitter proof https://twitter.com/slush/status/1346139300547735555

We would ideally announce that pool is under Braiins now, close the pool thread (not for new people to write new comments but keeping it public for the history purposes) and create a new thread which would be moderated by us / Braiins. But keeping the first mining pool thread ever for historical purposes with a scam warning seems very odd.

It would be nice to get rid of the scammer warning. Come on, forum hashes were hacked and slush himself is not a scammer, he is a cool guy who did and continues to do a lot for the BTC. So please, is there anybody who can help us? Tried reaching out to admins, tried tweeting at bitcointalk... but no luck.

Anybody has any tip please?

Have a good day!

New mining stack on the way! Secure, transparent and flexible

We are designing a new mining protocol, Stratum v2, with the aim of addressing all the major issues of the current one. To provide a complete mining stack — open-source and compatible throughout — we have also taken a big step and started designing the new mining software in Rust language.

Now, we’re almost done with the design and would like to invite you all to participate in our effort to create this open standard. We’d be delighted to listen to your needs to find out what features you’d like to see in the new mining package.

Hi,

we are working on that. We believe the NMC payouts are going to be processed until the end of April/at the beginning of May.

We are once again sorry about the delay.

Dear miners,
the most requested data export feature is here!

Export your payout, reward and activity data for your tax reports (yay) or whatever else you need it for.

Now you can easily download history of your payouts, rewards and even activities in standard CSV and JSON formats,
comfortably readable by both humans and machines.



Available exclusively on Slush Pool 3
Enjoy and let us know if there is something we can improve!

NMC will be paid out exactly according to the exchange rate.
There have been several exchanges last year. We will provide more details when we will pay out NMC.

The NMC rewards for the previous year will be paid out within a few weeks.
We are very sorry for the delay.

Hi,

we will look into that.
You can report the bugs also on this website.

Thanks!

Hello, there has to be an explanation.

Please contact our support team, they will look into it: https://support.slushpool.com/conversation/new

#MineAsOne

It is an estimate based on the share of our pool and the condition that luck is 100 %. In reality, luck, of course, fluctuate around this value which causes short-term variance in rewards. Don't worry and keep mining.

We also have a few related questions in our FAQ:

https://support.slushpool.com/article/78-why-does-it-take-so-long-to-find-a-block
https://support.slushpool.com/article/72-is-it-possible-to-drop-a-block-if-it-is-taking-too-long-to-find

We have our very own backend.

Hall of Fame is rather "for fun" statistics that show users with top Peak Hash Rate. It does not say anything about the amount of the work contributed by listed users or rewards paid to the users. We will not go into details since we value users privacy, let's just say it is perfectly reasonable to be listed in the "Peak Hash Rate" table and not in the "Found Blocks" table. Hope this makes sense to you.

We provide transparency through Hash Rate Proof. Feel free to investigate it here:
