Does anyone know of an iPhone app, or twitter feed, or something... that would send an alert each time a block is found by Slush's pool?

Well this is a good bye, I have jumped ship completely all my miners have been transitioned to BTC Guild.  I do not know why I clung on to Slush for so long, it was nothing but a waste of my time and hardware for the last year.  At the new pool my gear has earned more in the last 48 hours then it has on Slush's pull in the last week I was here.   I don't see it getting bad there either, The longest block so far has only been about 2 hours.

I am not sure why so many of you die hard Slush fan's can not see the writing on the wall, it is clear as day.  Your pool leader does not care about you anymore, I was stuck here since I started mining in 2011 but have finally realized what a joke he is.

Bye bye, so long, cya, don't let the door hit ya in the butt on your way out.

You obviously are a real noob and haven't been on BTC long at all. I've been on BTC as well as Slush since I started and if you haven't seen any 3+ hour blocks over and over on BTC you haven't been there long. A 3+ hour block on BTC is like a 12 hour on Sluch. True BTC is paying better right now but has only been so like you said in the past week. And true they offer better graphics and info but overall over 30 days Slush has paid better.

Didn't like your dumb act talk anyhow and I think you are same jerk on WOW talking same way irritating everyone and getting put on ignore by 1000's of players.

So just go and be gone already.

LOL... Who would have thought, a Slush Mining Pool fanboy. It's ok, take a tissue for your tears.

for those that want to jump, the best thing to do is try another pool or split your resources into two different ones and compare the two over a stretch of time. . obviously a week or two isn't going to be reflective of what the various pools are capable of producing, but the only way to see if the grass is greener is to try the other side. .. .

for me personally, I am sitting in two pools.  Slush has its good stretch periods and its bad stretch periods. ..  but sitting in multiple pools does lower my variances a bit.

good grief...

yes I was thinking the same thing...

SLUSH controls all my miners and he is telling my miners to not find blocks because mtgox.

on a more sane note...
these 8 hour blocks get longer the more we have...

Bless me Slush for I have sinned. I just purchased 600 GH/s of miners. At the horrid luck Slush is having it was doubling the time it would take for my investment to pay for itself. This is the first time in 6 months i Have mined somewhere other then slush's pool.

Ok so you dont know what im talking about.....im talking about the NUMBER of online exchanges that got hit by a security flaw with bitcoin transactions,and Slush hasnt been the same since then...I wasnt comparing Mt.Gox to slush in any way, besides saying maybe he stored coins there. Im saying MAYBE he has been hit by the same glitch and the coins are gone..odd i switch pools(dont worry you can make fun whatever) but there has been more payout in 24 hrs then in 5 days on Slush...yeah luck and it'll get fixed...keep your hardware at Slush and let me know how it goes for ya
