Im not saying things are bad.  For a while, lots of people pointed to the numbers that were shared on Minergain.com as a reference for the benefit of this pool.  That all *appears* to have fizzled away yesterday when the owners of minergain agreed to change the weekly number to 0 instead of what was prior a N/A because there had been no blocks found.  I suspect, but who knows what the math is, that those N/A's weren't being counted in the percentages and now that they are and at zero, it's strongly impacted what was presented as an advantage.

Granted that's just a data point and it may not be an accurate one now as there may be other math issues that it uncovered.  For me personally, I know that at slush in 6 days I was paid .01 BTC, the next .01 BTC took 10 days and this was all at the beginning of this month (I've only been here since the 18/19th).  The above was with 14TH same as here.  I got a small amount on the last block .001 from here and so I'm really curious what the first *real* block for me will look like.  That will tell me some of what I want to understand in a bit more imperical way than percentages and numbers that may not be correct.... We'll see, not going anywhere just curious
