Yes let's hope. I have confidence that slush will fix things

Sucks however to be directed over here to comment, since his site is down, only to have to make 5 posts and wait 4 hours to be able to comment in the thread he is watching and working through.....

You do realize that when ASIC's are a reality, and that will happen, FGPU's and GPU mining will be no good anymore since the difficulty will be increased so high that they are unable to be used, just like what happened to CPU mining.

So my point is, I would not spend the money to build a kick ass box right now, only to see it become obsolete and useless for mining inside of a year.

Yes I am aware of that, however I was directed here by Slush'es pool, since his pool website is down and therefore this, and his thread about it, is the only way the pool members can communicate with each other.

I understand newbie restrictions, but I was DIRECTED here due to a pool outage, which the restrictions are now defeating the point of that direction, since I can't talk to any of the pool members unless I spam useless posts

i.e. I understand restrictions when they make sense in normal situations, but not when I get told to go here to talk with affected pool members, and now I can't.

Well here is my newbie post, although I am not a newbie, just never needed to comment on here before tonight and am here only to comment in Slush's area.....

so can I post yet or am I still restricted to noob hell even though right now, this forum is the ONLY way to communicate with other members of the pool I belong to, which is why I was directed here in the first place.
