Hello all,
I'm a very new miner. Depending on which computers are currently running, I'm having 110 - 630 MH/s. I decided to use this pool as my primary pool because this seems to be the only one that uses Meni's scoring system. I don't get it, but I'm very confident he got the math right. Martok also seems to be trustworthy.
One thing bothers me though ... I made the following calculation:
The expected number of hashes to find a block is EH=3766548342687541 (
http://blockexplorer.com/q/hashestowin), the hashrate of the pool right now is HR=11825476621 (
http://www.continuumpool.com/hashrate.php).
If I calculate EH/HR/3600/24 I get 3.7 days to finish a block in average.
But
http://www.continuumpool.com/roundstart.php says that the last block was found 2011-05-30 14:20:23.526037-07. That's about 24 days!!! So, what's wrong here?
