Looking at their stats they’re doing very well. Looks like they’re averaging a block every 3 hours or so. No rounds above 12 hours for at least a couple of weeks. Definitely much better than previously. I suspect pool hoppers are still an issue though, however less impacting if the rounds aren’t reaching several hours.
I left slush almost 2 weeks ago. the pool hopping just killed it for me. the GUI is great, and the reporting and mobile app is amazing. I put in a request to have the score adjusted to help fight the pool hopping and it wasnt even looked at for a month. Also i was pretty sure the 0% fee period is over, and they charge 2%, which is more than most pools now.
I honestly dont care about that. the pool hopping was doing the most damage to my earnings and just pissing me off. if they can just fix that one thing, i would probably switch back. But right now that pool has major major abuse.
here is an example:
Block time Pool Hashrate
2017-08-06 22:41 05:56:55 3.462 Mh/s
2017-08-07 01:25 02:44:11 5.426 Mh/s
2017-08-07 18:11 16:45:33 3.714 Mh/s
Where the hell did that extra 2Mh/s come from and where did it go!? that hurt our pay out pretty bad.
Slush displays the CDF, and when a big miner sees we are statistically due for a pay out, they jump in, mine for 30-60 min and jump out. The people that mine 24/7 t that pool lose out.
I knew there was another reason I wasn’t continuing at Slush. I posted the announcement about the jump from 0% to 2% fee. I take issue with that fee because their app is stagnant and hasn’t been updated and is missing multiple features. They also do nothing to prevent pool hopping. As far as I’m concerned, they haven’t earned that 2% fee.
Thanks for the heads up. So, pool hoppers still an issue.
I’d like to try the pool unfortunately still hasn’t got around to successfully connect EWBF with it. Waiting for the pool owner to come back with a reply.
You would probably receive help much quicker here than most of the pool’s support teams. You just have to be willing to do the legwork. I mentioned in another thread to post what you have in your bat file. Or what command you’re using to initiate your miner.
@nekkidtruth, thanks.
Turned out I spoke too soon. I still cannot connect to slushpool using EWBF miner. Hasn’t tried other miner. Would be awesome if the miner is supported.
