The way I see it, I am buying cheap bitcoins from my electric company.

I know I check 1-2 times a day should be looking 1-2 times a week lol

why does the pool register my hash rate at abotu 20% less than what it is?

I think a slow ramp up in reward for those joining in the middle of a block would deter hoppers and reward the loyal, kind of reverse of what we have now.

Hi guys

anybody else had an issue on block 304275 had half reward but i did not stop mining before end of block or something else

opened ticket just in case but just for information am i alone with trouble on this block ?

Oh look 10% done and already an hour into the block.

...looking back over my previous 20 or so blocks, its kinda evened out...

With a very modest hashrate (about 7.5 GH/s split evenly between Slush and BTCguild) I see large variations in Slush.  This seems to be due in no small part to over-aggressiveness on the part of Vardiff:  it appears to go in cycles over about 20-30 minutes, dropping from difficulty 4 to 1, then up to 2, then up to 3 or 4, then back down to 1, resulting in big swings in the estimated reward.  BTCguild, meanwhile, remains steady on the minimum of 2.  Sod's Law decrees that Slush will often solve a block just when the estimated reward is at its low point, resulting in variance of over 50% even on reasonably long rounds when one would expect some consistency.

It seems to me that Vardiff is too sensitive to sort-term changes; while this may be a useful attribute in the first few minutes after establishing a connection, it becomes a liability once the worker has settled down.

Right, on the My Account page.  That's what I was asking about originally.  But, that only shows an average for the worker across the whole of the current round.  I'd like to see a 20 minute, or even 1 hour, average.  So that I can see any effect of tuning in my workers without having to wait more than a full round.

Thanks.  I thought that might be the case.  Makes it hard to see variation in any changes I make in the config of my miner, since rounds sometimes last most of a day, but understandable.  Is there any break-down of what work is being contributed by workers elsewhere in the interface?

Where can I find the Slush Pool forum?

  28 Eur so around 38 $ , they're weren't that easy to find here and
I can't order from ebay because import tax here is  calculated in math
formula that would be harder to crack than any crypto formula  

If the PPS rate dropped, then the Litecoin network difficulty became higher. Simply as that. The PPS rate is calculated dynamically on this value.

AM I reading the stats correctly that we've found 15 blocks in the last two days?!!

Your on Slush because you like drama. If you want sit back and watch the sausage factory go on one of the big PPLNS pools. At the end of the month you could be up or down depending on which pool happened to have better luck that month. You can spend hours analyzing why it works that way if you want something to occupy your time but in the end there's no way to beat the odds.

I have a question

does the monthly luck ever have a chance of going 113%

seems to me the monthly should be pretty close to 100%.

So, Slush is on PPLNS??

Just lost 1.3 btc...miners for sale. anyone interested?

A mining rig is a tool used to achieve some other purpose which is to mine BTC. 

In economics and business decision-making, a sunk cost is a retrospective (past) cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered.

In traditional microeconomic theory, only prospective (future) costs are relevant to an investment decision. Traditional economics proposes that economic actors should not let sunk costs influence their decisions. Doing so would not be rationally assessing a decision exclusively on its own merits.
...
Sunk costs should not affect the rational decision-maker's best choice. However, until a decision-maker irreversibly commits resources, the prospective cost is an avoidable future cost and is properly included in any decision-making processes.

oh and to humble you even more. Previous poster mis quoted. Our pool in 1.3 PetaHash/sec
