So I'm a small-scale miner... averaging about 1.1 Th/s on this pool. Lately things have been really terrible. We're currently almost 24 hours between blocks... what's going on? I was thinking about switching pools, though I have no clue where to go. I thought about that new bcmonster or whatever it's called.
If you play with dice, statistically, you have a chanceof 6 to make 6.
But sometimes it can get you to play 20X without making a 6.
This is the same for finding block, it is a matter of chance. Normally we must find 6 blocks per day, or one every 4 hours. But sometimes we find 3 in less than an hour, other times one in a day.
On a pool of this size, the value begins to be stable, that is the monthly average. And yet it fluctuates a bit, +/- 10% is not abnormal. It's very difficult to know on short period if something is wrong.
