You sound like those guys walking around the Atlantic City boardwalk

Ouch - that hurts!  I don't gamble and if I did AC would be the last place I'd want to go!   Grin

- the problem is that at least the casino odds & payouts stay the same..  but with mining, luck doesn't even out from one diff change to the next.   It only evens out correctly within that diff change and with this pool you only have a few rolls of the dice between diffs to even it out..
that is what kills small pools..  the need to get more spins on the wheel before a bad 'day' at the track puts you on the street.   
a bad day at a big pool is like two bad months here.  You can recover if it really is one day during a diff cycle... but here that same amount of hashing would span 2-4 diff cycles

You make a good point - with the difficulty changing a bad run may never really even out.  Nevertheless, I'll stick with Kano since his pool is fair and transparent. 
Bitcoin will go back up eventually and make it all worthwhile and if it doesn't then life goes on - its not like my life savings is tied up in this.  Smiley
