Quit panicking, this is variance. We've seen blocks last much longer in the past. There is nothing wrong with the pool. Miners of old can tell you about blocks lasting 48 hours.

Pool hash rate was probably much lower then?  At any rate, I agree that it is what it is: variance.


 the almost 14 hour  block# 232949 time   13:57 =    1 block

  the next almost 14 hours   blocks # 232957 to 233037  time  14:26 =   13 blocks     


   
This comes to 14 blocks in 28 hours and 23 minutes.  Just about 1 block every 2 hours and 2 minutes.  We should be around 1 hour 46 minutes to 2 hours a block based on our hash against difficulty of 8.9 mill.

My point is it averages out both sets of blocks   are way off one is very bad luck one is very good luck. When averaged very close to normal numbers.
