Why not post them here? Then hopefully someone will copy them across.

For me it looks like everything's as should be. Have you read the full thread up to date on what happened?

The key fields are block value, your shares and the total.


Now the basic formula is (Block Value * 0.98 * your shares) total shares. The .98 is because Slush takes 2% for his costs time managerial fee

So you're theoretical earnings are for each block
0.005184494    -0.0039388642
0.011731808    -0.0031357578
0.012788401    +0.0023007888
0.011075702    -0.0008164716
0.007881458    ~0

Total = 0.0486618628
Leaving you -0.0055903028

This could be a fault. I expect however its down to the true formula being a little more complex. Older shares are worth less to discourage attempts to cheat the system. Its probably just coincidence with the crash and you're mining rates were fastest at the start of blocks.
Im sure you've noticed the hash rate fluctuates a little bit. Not to mention, if you started stopped the miners at all then bad timing could leave you with earlier less worthy shares.

If you are still concerned let me know, i'm about to get out of newbie mode so can put a copy of this in the slush's pool thread.

3 things you need to know.

1. Slush pool is using Slush method... It is not simple (Block Value * 0.98 * your shares) total shares. It is more complex do discourage pool hoping... But basicly shares at the end of a block are more valuable then one at the start. Longer the run bigger the difference. And you get penalised if you stop miner...
2. You will get less on short runs do to pool hoppers(when they take away from you) and more on longer runs(when you take away from them).
3. Forget mining calculator, this only works on long time frame

From what I can see there are some shares missing(you were under normal speed) in all the blocks you are underpaid so I guess you were offline or something like that...

Any idea how long it will take to get my pending payout from the outage, I had to take my miners down for a while because of the outage and it wouldnt let me connect back up, but now i have items that i am not getting. They are still sitting in pending and from what i have been reading is that people are already getting their backlog of blocks found.

Thanks, I guess i must have passed right over that message. I will take a look tomorrow and see what happens.

I did notice that the luck for the day dropped significantly.  Any simple explanation for that?

I was wondering if it had anything to do with the page being down,  It seems although I made a lot of unconfirmed, running blind yesterday,  none of them have been confirmed yet which I would expect confirmation on about half of them by now.   Wondering if the pool running without the webpage was somehow handicapped.

Ahhh great.

I now understand, thanks to everyone who helped.

I also have 2 quick questions about solo mining if anyone can help to clarify for me:

1) Does stopping and restarting the miner (CGMiner) have any effect on things? (I have written a scheduler to restart at different intensities)
2) To use multiple machines for solo mining do you point them all at the same rpcuser?

That's it cheers for all the help.

Sorry I'm not sure what the correct terminology is but I mean mining to my own own instance of "bitcoin-qt -server" i.e. not connected to a pool.
I thought it was solo mining.

rpcuser is the account user you set in the bitcoin.conf.
