Question....
As I understand it this is the longest streak ever without finding a block in this pool. Is this purely because of bad luck or is it a combination of that and the recent difficultly increase?
If the latter, is this pool going to be profitable at it's current hash rate as these streaks become more prolonged and extend across additional difficulty increase events?
No, it's not the longest streak ever.As I understand it this is the longest streak ever without finding a block in this pool. Is this purely because of bad luck or is it a combination of that and the recent difficultly increase?

The longest was the first block the pool found, that was also a lucky block (less than 100%)
However, time isn't a number in the calculation of rewards.
Difficulty is the number that matters.
Yes we are over 500%
No it's not the worst ever yet.
The top 2 (worst) are there on the Blocks page at the end of October.
Profitability is the same at most pools.
While we are 'expected' to find multiple blocks per diff change, i.e. multiple blocks per 2 weeks, profitability wont be affected much by changing pools.
You can't predict luck and luck is the biggest factor in PPLNS.
Of course if the pool gets 'too' small then that will noticeable affect Profitability, a fact that certain smaller pools like to hide from their miners, however we've been growing pretty well over the last month ... so that's not currently a concern.
