Every single one you (almost), need to rethink how you view bitcoin and your rewards in this pool. You act as if you do something you deserve, hahaha lol deserve a reward for it. And then post many inane data filled clusters about that proof, and don't still realize one simple thing. I can say none of you get it because the increasing page posts about this and that and how mandy shoulda done this and that within roughly the last half of the totality of the posts on this thread that I've read does not mention this maxim.
If I do A then I will get B, this is what happens at a J.O.B. If you endeavor into this realm where A does not mean at all then that B proceeds then you will have learned a lot about life. If you mine and you have introduced to the pool so many hashes this does not mean you will get rewarded what so ever, and if you do it may not be what you expect. This is understood, and accepted, it might be a hard concept with which to wrap your head around, but that is it. And if you have made a huge investment in this endeavor then you did so at your own will. No one, Not Slush Nor you held a gun to your head and said throw away your money, or risk it. This is your risk, no one else's, your choice.
Hi, this is a job. It is recording the Bitcoin transactions and maintaining the security of the Bitcoin network. Many people in the Internet industry make a living by maintaining computers that perform some type of service such as web hosting, database administration, running data servers, etc.
This bitcoin is a risk, risk will pay you money or make you lose money, but it is a risk. Not a job, a job will pay you for x amount of work. In a way you can expect to get paid for x amount of work in a pool, but you still are taking a risk. Sorry if you can't see it that way. But that is what it is. If you have invested large sums of money to mine bitcoin, there is no guarantee you will receive what reward you expect, there is no guarantee here. I don't care, or rather it don't care how much math you throw at it.
