i have a 10+ hours pending reward, why so slow to confirm...

SERVERS People!! Can't stress enough to look in on who is suposed to be recieving the shares as ( for me at least ) we got a 2 fold issue

1) Name Coin IS being processed by at least 1 stratum server ( and it's not ' official ' yet, shows on the namecoin stats page as Stratum Connections )
2) there is no indication on our end or on pages ( that at least I can find ) how many NMC Shares have been submitted.

So, both of you and future submitters, please post what stratum server seems to be the issue.

Apologies if any one is offended by this rant as I for one am waiting on either a posting here or a response in messages ( yes, i click names and send replies that I think don't belong in this thread ) from Slush.  If we post here specifics and not ' it don't work ' it's easier to get it resolved. Please and thank you.

I'm using v*****.bitcoin.cz. Seems to be okay. I don't think the issue ever was bad shares but rather the score system. Do we know how score is calculated or increased? I can tell it has something to do with the number of shares you contribute and how quickly. The tiny rewards happen when worker scores reset but the total score does not (or reaches a 12-digit+ integer).

guys - guiminer is flakey on any pool - try cgminer or bfg

This is getting crazy. If you don't trust this pool's stability, go try another. Sooner or later Slush will show up and look into things. Right now all you guys are doing is feeding each other's uncertainty and discomfort. There is nothing anyone can do except Slush. If he needs input from the users, i'm sure that he'll ask us for it. Constantly posting about this server, or that server, or this calculation, or that, isn't going to accomplish anything until we here from Slush.

Yeah, we'd all like to help and figure out what is going on, but none of us can see the whole picture. We can't look behind the curtains and see what is going on.

I'm only a little miner, about 130MHs, but i've been getting exactly what i expect from each block we find.

Just confirming that about 20% of blocks (6 of the 30 currently on the statistic page) I am only getting about 45% of what I should be as a reward.

This is a net loss of ~9% which at 950mhash isn't exactly devastating... but it's quite noticeable and has been going on for quite some time.

I received no shares or reward. I left my guiminer mining all day and most of the night without turning it off. WTF? why am i not getting anything in the last 2 hours.
