To all the haters and flamers out there about how; slush less than this and xx is better then xx.... stfu!
This pool has the best support out of any pools I have been with, and i've been with more pools than a hooker can make a career out of!
I submitted a ticket to the support staff back when the most recent blocks were not showing proper rewards, and this was at like 3:00am PST
I got a response back within 10 minutes assuring me not to be concerned, then poof what was said was done and I was credited!
In my honest opinion, if one does not simply mine with Slush, one does not have access to the resources and collaboration as said other pools!
My recent problems were a lot of stale shares but it looked like the amount of stales that happened when we were all on getwork, which is fixed now and we are all back being happy!
Props go out the slush support team, and everyone else that makes this pool possible!
Keep Calm and Mine on Everyone!
At the heart of a free-market is the right for people to voice opinions and freely mine wherever they want. I raise your "STFU" and "keep calm and mine on" Communist bullshit with a "Go screw dummy"- get a clue about what you are encouraging, stop and think about it, really think. The SIMPLE fact is that because of the voiced opinions us miners have a way to hold pool operators accountable and we have a method to inform each other by sharing knowledge and opinions here. I think it's silly and sad that people like you want others to bury their head in the sand rather than freely share opinions. Glad our luck turned around for now, but this is the place I hope to come for unfiltered user feedback, not blind faith and ass kissing propaganda. Long live Slush, until/unless there is a "better" pool because we are all free to vote with our hardware, and hopefully we encourage criticism here to share all the necessary information if/when things point towards our pool having a disadvantage. We all pay a fee, and nobody gives me "props" for simply doing my job, gotta go above and beyond for that and from what I know there's no real level of personalized service, just widespread technical issues, silence, and sudden fixes that (usually) happen after a few days.
Your suggestion to shut people up is a concept that kills the transparency needed for a competitive market, anyone that has studied econ 101 knows that competition drives innovation and the end result is the best solution for the market. A bunch of forums with a "STFU and keep mining" policy would be a world full of shitty pools with no accountability for their actions. It's a forum, free speech is essential. I'll say it would be nice for newbie questions to remain in the newbie forum, but if someone has a problem with this pool bet your ass I want to know about it, and if there's another pool without said problem I want to know about that too. If not for that, why else would we be here? Bad luck therapy and good luck "atta boys"? Even if we are delighted with the service it is through an open platform that encouraged criticism that we can ensure the quality is maintained, or improved when needed. Even knowing that you tried other pools without excessive commitment is valuable information, it's just the whole "stfu" thing where you are crossing a line that nobody here should
ever strive for.
I can't let this one slide by - you know me.
Who the heck are you to mention the right to voice free opinions and the need to freely share opinions over and over in a post directed at someone who is doing that exact thing! At the same time you FLAME his post with your fancy (in your opinion) Economic talk. Talking about communist BS, you have found your own elegant way of trying to SHUT PEOPLE UP who are doing the exact thing you say is so essential for a pool. Openly expressing their opinion.
You seem to like to use your Economic hammer on people to intimidate them into not posting what they feel and bend them more into your way of thinking. Now there's true Communism in the works.
And your attempt at intimidating n00bs and wanting/wishing they would be forced into one small area IS TRUE COMMUNIST THINKING! You believe in the class system don't you. Your perceived class and then there will be the rest of us in the other class, I see!
Who are you mister high all mighty to make such comments and still want people to openly post. You want them to only post what you think is relevant - is that it! Again sounds like Communism to me.
YOU crossed the line with your communist BS remarks. This IS AMERICA dam-it (at least I am in America) and he can post whatever he wants and shouldn't feel the need to run and hide from your flaming after he does. If you think this will stop n00bs from posting you're wrong, I still posted.
And yes I also have a college degree (thought I'd mention that since you seem to indirectly refer to your high level of education as if it means something). I also took Economics in school but I'm not trying to use it to shut others up because they don't believe like I do or trying to force others off the forum into a small back room because I don't like what they are saying.
It may not have been elegant but I understood what he meant sorry you couldn't.
So do you Really Want To Dance with me now? Is that your way? Bring it on! I have my opinion and my way of expressing it and no one, I MEAN NO ONE, will ever change that except maybe Slush forcing me off this forum himself.
Don't talk Communist BS to me, ever, MR J_Dubbs!
Now lets see how elegant you are or maybe not even elegant this time, when you flame me for expressing my FREE OPEN OPINION on this site.
And YES go on mining my Slush friends.
