Re: [12000 GH/s] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + UserDiff; ASIC tested
Should I be finding blocks? Never have I seen blocks found more than 0 on my account page. I have thousands of shares...
Okay I think I get it, I had about 3000 shares of that 14M share round, about 1/13k chance of finding that block.

Simply accept that you'll never find a block.* I tell you it is easier this way. You need at least few - more than 10 - GH/s for a reasonable chance. In that 14M round with let say 3M shares yes, there is a reasonable chance. With 3k or 10k daily there is simply no hope in hell unless block is like 10 shares big and you supply at least 1 share = JACKPOT. But blocks like that are even rarer than chance to find a block with 3k shares out of 14M.
I have found 7 blocks in the just about 2 years I have been mining on slush. But ALL of those came in before ASICS, when my 1.5-2ghash was a decent number.
I haven't found any blocks in almost a year now...
EDIT: but I would like to say that my total payout during those 7 blocks was about 450btc. Which means I'm ahead of the game by almost 100btc. Definitely pays to mine with slush...
