I can't afford that. Sad

I hope we do go much longer without any.

So my site has been grabbing 5 minute detailed info for a few pools in my upcoming minergain site but dont have the info live yet. Eventually this data can use your real miner data to do "what if scenarios - even though luck is luck". So all this got me wondering so I thought I would share some real comparison info... So if you were with slush for December, here would be your btc per Th that your miners submitted.... After the date is the number of blocks found and the next column is the BTC / TH for that day. It fully takes into account the hash rate for every block and the 2% that they take.

Total: 0.003702629 per Th/s.

So if you have an S9 like me with 13.5Th/s, that is .0499854915 BTC for the month (assuming fully "vested" in the PPNLS). As I have mentioned before, the 5 blocks found on Kano (even with the current 8 day delay) is .04509834. If we got another block today, it would be roughly .054 BTC for the month. And if we picked off another one tomorrow, it would be roughly .063 BTC. So yes, there is a little more gambling here, but the potential upside is way more than the sites that give lots of blocks per day... And isn't that really why we are all in this "business" - gambling? That is exactly why I moved to Kano from Slush after just one month with them... I can afford a little electricity if needed, but with that said, my full power bill was paid by the 3rd of this month... I also purchase coins on the exchanges, and this is a much smaller investment per BTC - just slower. Anyway, just to give a little perspective for the newbies (me included).

I didn't dispute that kano had better upside with the way this is set up. I was just thinking that there may be a reason other than bad luck that there has been no block found for 9 days now. I was just throwing out an idea that maybe some other DDOS attack or something was happening that we are not aware of. I do not mean on the web server, I mean on the backend ie stratum server or upstream of the node which affects the ability to break open one of them 12.5 Tonne Golden nuggets!
