Kind of a general questions for Kano on block finds, been thinking about it for a while. Not just at this pool, but looking at the block chain and other pool stats, It seams that quite often you see the same pool find blocks in a row, pretty quickly in most cases. My assumption was that if your pool & miner find a block, then your pool is the first one to switch mining the next block. Especially if you have good code and very fast servers. I would think it takes a few seconds for all the other pools to move to the next block and thus would seam IF that next block is to be a low diff block (luck) you would get it before others since you were the first to switch to mining the next bock. At least a few seconds before others.

Am I all wrong here, or its just dumb luck and no advantage like I see there might be.

Thanks,

A general answer to your general question, pools that are coded to optimize block changes and get new work faster have better chances of having their solved blocks confirmed and not become an orphan.
