Slush pool low performance - why is that?

Yesterday Slush was able to mine 10 blocks - great result! :slight_smile:

I watch Slush’s performance for the past 3 days and I am impressed. Really… For some unintelligibly reason pool mines more pool with the same HR. So lucky Pool Luck period? :blush: Interesting, very interesting…

Yes the pool hopper sucks, they make the earnings low, I have mine over a weeks now on Slush, when the CDF goes up to 70% the global pool hash rate become high (3.5Mh/s), and when the block become mature and finished, the global pool hash rate become low again (2.5Mh/s). It’s not great when someone is mining from begining, providing lots of share, and loose of some their earnings because of this, someone at slush must ban the pool hopper!

WOW - you’re right - pool hash rate was 2.5 MH/s 12 hours ago,

No blocks found in nearly 15 hours and pool hash rate over 9 MH/s.

That really upsets the earnings…

Yes, that’s what I’m talking about, Slush seem not to know about this, or know but take no action against this? I have spent over 12hrs electricity just to get rob by what … 5 hrs pool hopper and rob all my earnings?
I have sent them notice about this, on other pool, they will surely ban pool hopper like this, let’s hope Slush will do properr action against this thieves …

I was on Kano.is for some time mining Bitcoin, they have a 5day average hash rate. Slushpool it averages your hashrate over a very short period like 10mins. It would be nice if it was averaged over days, this would reduced the hoppers.

The problem was not in HR, but in pool luck. Anyways, Slush is out now.

Hi guys I have been reading through Zcash topics related to Slush pool and their low luck percentage, and got me thinking what did you mean by your last remark. " Anyways, Slush is out now ", is there some news i am not aware of about slush pool and zcash? thanks, I have been mining for a week on slush pool now and they only have 3 or 4 ZEC blocks found each day! was wondering what pool is recommended, since I am just using my pc to learn more about mining before i decide to invest in my own mining rig.

Testing pc with one GPU rx570 on slushpool. Correcly. 1 day active mining and got my rewrd and12 hr off to rest pc and turn back on again. And now i’m online 12 hr nothing precentage to get zec. Would u thing about slushpool…??

my experience with slush isnt good i got the best experience with supernova or fly pool

my last reward dates back 25hrs ago, slush pool not looking good to me so far, I tried the new Zpool guru and still is too few ppl mining so luck chances are very little. For the past few days Slush pool was finding a block up to 4 times a day and usually from 9am GMT+2 til 4pm. so i will stick with them until i reach minimum payout and leave, i think flypool is showing better performance so far. IMO.

I know this topic was started some month ago but i wanted to share my expirience in the last few days:
…I would be happy with 3 blocks a day…

1.637 Mh/s seems to very poor for profitable mining :pick:.

Add to that their ridiculously high fee…

Hi Dev,
I have a doubt for the experienced?
Am using nice hash to throw up some hashrate to slush pool.
Assuming only one block at current time.
Do i have to mine after a block is confirmed or mining is itself confirming the blocks (valid or invalid)?

And also, the orders in nicehash to mine zcash in slushpool wont be active /stable always
and will be in dead orders.Verifying slush pool using pool verificator says “Difficulty too low”.
but Slushpool uses vardiff but still the error?

Any reason why?
