350% --- Ggggg. Chasing luck never worked for me, I always get screw. I would hope odds are better Kano go green then Slush luck continue. However, I always wonder about SQUARE laws. Example does a pool with 200Ph/s get exactly 10 time more chances then one with 20Ph/s or does it have more? I'm no math genius but seen square law effecting the obvious outcome of things.

The answer is "yes" and "no" Tongue

Since every share is random, every share has an equal possibility of being a solve.
The larger a given combined hashrate is (in this case, a pool), is the more shares produced by that group in a given time frame.
The more shares that are produced are the more chances that group may have a solve.

In the long run (over an extended period, i.e. 1 year), a pool with 200Ph/s will find ~10 times more blocks then one with 20Ph/s; however, in the short run (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, etc), every share/block is "anyone's game".

And for the record, when looking at "expected" find rate over the last 250 blocks found, including the "bonus" % that Slush had today, the difference between Kano and Slush is ~3% (or about 1 block a month, roughly 0.00675BTC p/TH p/year). My hope for 2017 is that people quit looking @ the narrow picture and panicking; but, instead, look at the big picture and realize that "it's all good in the hood". Grin
