Still. his attitude is like people mining here are rolling in dough, when the reality is that something is up with this place and it's behind again.
This comes up at EVERY pool, anytime short term luck plummets. People come out with their conspiracies. Start pool hopping. Sacrificing virgins. But really, in the end, it all evens out. If you look at the long term stats, they are still above the expected PPS return.
On a rare occasion, there is a problem like a block withholding attack or some other nefarious purpose/glitch in code. But at least here you know that here, the pool op is looking into it and updates you regularly with what is going on. If ever that stops happening, it is time to run. Like at Slush from dec 2015 - feb 2016. When everyone mining there got robbed. Finally after 3 months of miner complaints and being told everything is ok, they announced someone (I think it was Omega mining) with a large percentage of the hash was running hardware that could not find blocks. Then the pool op said basically, oh he didn't know. Let's just let him keep all your coins.
So really, if they can't handle the swings. STFU and move elsewhere where there will be less variance, or at least the long blocks don't last as long. But you'll be in in the dark as to what's going on.
OR Mine ON.
Oh, and sacrifice some chickens....
I've been mining on here for quite a long time and was aware of this possibility. I hope kano can figure it out, it just seems a bit ironic that this pool did so well for so long and then the luck just goes down, I guess as many will say that is luck, but thats just the easy answer. Once he's able to get everything sorted out i'll be back in a flash, but I need to get a return on my investment (power) unfortunately I don't get it for free. and last month wasn't spectacular. Here's to hoping I am wrong and November ends as a bright green month.
