So wait, now that there are 3 servers with 3 separate hashing speeds, does that mean that the rewards variance is higher?

Or, in other words, is BTC Guild now 3 300 ghash/sec pools instead of one 900 one for rewards purposes? Yeah, I know it'll all even out in a week anyway but the difficulty increases about that often and I want to reduce my risk.

Rewards are combined between the 3 pool servers.  This is the exact same as running on a single large pool, I've just split it across multiple datacenters in order to provide members with the option to manually point to a closer server.


That's not why he was asking; he was asking to find out if it is now three separate independent hashing pools, each trying to find a block separately at 200 GH/s, or if the hashes are being directed to one main pool for a rate of 600 GH/s.  Three smaller pools would find blocks slower each, so the variance would be high

Uh no eleuthria answered the question
