so wait if another group solves the block first we dont get paid??
Your shares are still counted toward our winning block!
Ah right ok, so on a pool like deepbit or swepool, which pay you as you go, if they dont win that block the pool owner has effectively lost that money until they win one?
No, they just solve blocks faster. Unless you use Pay-Per-Share, which is like donating 10%.

ANDROID account app is up on the first pageIt's not pretty, but it works. My java experience is pretty limited, so a full blown app is a ways off.
