This is insane. Even before the rise found blocks have been taking crazy long... 3h, 5h, 4h, 2h, 4h..... such BS lately.... Seriously becoming pointless to mine btc Undecided

btc was designed to increase in value but its looking like the design is backfiring....

Long round duration is due to low pool luck... Even 70 % now:
Pool luck (1 day, 7 days, 30 days): 70%, 89%, 96%
[edit: Sure it depends on pool hashrate also, but this is quite high now.]
Block times for the whole network look OK.

Are there any data for the whole "network luck"? I'm afraid those can't be obtained easily, because the whole network hashrate is calculated from found blocks, thus supposing "network luck" equal to 100 %. This way, one can't differentiate between hashrate changes and luck changes.
Or am I wrong?
