Anybody noticed any reduction of their rewards on a regular basis? I thought it has been my imagination. I usually see it drop about .01 BTC every now and then so I thought that's just normal. However, this time around, my total rewards dropped at least .02 BTC from about .89+ to .87+. I work very hard and invested a lot just to get those bitcoin cents.
Slush, what's going on. Is somebody milking my rewards every now and then hoping that I would not notice it?
If new people join slush, it lowers all the users rewards. It was 20701.827 Ghash/s the other day, now it's 31701.827 Ghash/s...The numbers you provided are inline with the growth of the pool.
Fun fact: the next diff jump will be around 30% (all time high growth) as it seems now, some of the new hash power joins slush so expect the rewards to continue degrading.
If this makes you nervous you shouldn't have invested in mining.
