You do realize that internal accounting is actually completely public via the APIs and fits perfectly with everything you linked?  You realize that 1Change and 18d3HV are cold wallets for various failsafes with the reward system (well known and noted in Eligius's block viewer, and which you personally know about and have incessantly complained about)?  Did you also notice that the 1Change output is capped and that the balance always goes to 18d3HV?

Just because the actual output that includes the fees of a particular block is not spent on the blockchain doesn't mean the reward system hasn't accounted for it like it's supposed to.  You'll notice that for every block that doesn't include direct miner payouts the pool's payout queue increases by that amount as well as miner's earned/unpaid balances.  Those funds don't just disappear.  Every satoshi is accounted for.  If for some reason Eligius were to close today (not happening) then every single satoshi of unpaid miner balances would be paid from the cold wallets, which would be emptied to the tune of about ~460 BTC right now.  (And you've just independently confirmed for everyone that the funds are actually available (at least when you add in the balances of change addresses from previous transactions on those wallets as well), thanks. )

It's actually only that high because I've let the payout queue grow a bit more than normal.  (Cold storage manual payouts, admittedly, are a bit of a pain in the ass lately and I've been doing them less frequently.) Plus that total includes ~200 BTC in funds held from the block withholding attack that is due to the miners/victims affected during that period.  Doing this distribution is actually requiring a substantial rewrite of a lot of core reward system code since such tampering with balances would throw off auditing that is possible via the public APIs and isn't even possible to do with the existing code.  I've been working on a way to do this in a way that keeps everything still able to be publicly audited.

In any case, your post proves you have no idea how things work here and have worked for years.  You also pretty much prove that Eligius has on hand the funds to cover all miner balances.  Feel free to sum them up yourself and confirm.  You'll find that the API includes every miner's balance at every single block found available for retrieval.  Oh, and guess what?  If you actually looked at that data you'll see that the balances work out exactly as expected (block reward + fees - payouts).

Troll elsewhere.

(Edited a few times for clarity)

Can anyone explain this? In the image below, at the point the arrow is indicating, a block was found. Yet I was awarded practically nothing. The "estimated change" was indeed almost zero, actually negative for some time, for the whole duration of the round. Why? As you can see from the image, my hashrate was normal. It's not because it was hitting the maximum reward either, my current total earnings are more than half a BTC under that, with a total luck of 95.85%. I see no reason why I should not be rewarded for that round..

eligius is the best pool out there. Good job guys and thank you.
just a question, what is your opinion about BTC XT? are you going to support it in the pool?
i guess we are going to 2 different BTC coins!

At this point it's just extreme variance.

I disagree with your conclusion, if not your decision. It's a variant client, and an attempt at forcing consensus (which will succeed, but probably not in the way Gavin et. al. were hoping). I think it's mainly a tempest in a teapot.

However, it does shine some light on problems that do exist in the current implementation of the reference client. The 1MB limit WILL limit adoption. So does the 10 minute block time. BTC paved the way, but the way I see it, almost every altcoin is technically superiour. First mover advantage does not last forever, and frankly, the Bitcoin Foundation seems more interested in hookers and blow than in improving Bitcoin.

That being said, XT was exactly the wrong approach. It was a demand, whereas consensus requires a request. I agree that it will fail.

I've always held this pool in very high regard, and continue to do so.
As someone who used to mine with you some years ago (back when I had BTC mining equipment), you have never appeared to veer from being honest, efficient, and having integrity.
I hope you guys manage to stay around for as long as possible to highlight how crypto can be done.

Nothing new, it's from last year.  Based on some legal advice it was determined best to not immediately do anything with those funds.  I am, however, working on the code to do so.  When it's ready they will be distributed (paid to shelved shares in the share log accumulated at the time of the withholding attack).  At this point that probably will mean some small payouts to some miners who were active at that time.  Hopefully most still are active, anyway.

Looks like the site is down yes i cant enter it aswell.

Webserver was hanging hard when I checked on it.  Investigating possible causes.

No worries, mining has been fine.  As always the webserver and mining servers are separate, so mining can always continue if there are webserver issues.
