I have mined at three other pools before joining middlecoin a few days ago. So far, I'm seeing less profit than the other pools I had mined before. Why is that? Could it be because the difficulty of 512 is too high for my miners? I have 4 GPU's: 1x6950, 1x7790, 1x7850, 1x7950. On other pools, I got about 1300 KH/S. Here, I'm getting 1000 KH/S. The other pools operated with vardiff; here, there's only one difficulty of 512.

You can talk statistics and probability and whatnot all day and night long. I can tell you from my day-to-day experience that this pool with a high diff set at 512 runs very inefficiently for me. Probably because of my gpus can't hash fast enough for the pool. I am going to have to return back to wemineltc.

All your post does is show that the statistics and probability are *correct*. The people that keep arguing otherwise have yet to show any math to back it up, other than "you must not know anything about math." We've shown charts. We've broken things down into small pieces. We've used various analogies. The people arguing that we're wrong are still doing so without giving ANY reason why other than because they simply don't believe anything that's said, regardless as to how much proof there is to back it up.

These are the same people who would say "a gallon couldn't possibly be the equivalent of 4 quarts. Sure, you can sit here and show me all day long. You can even show me the conversion factor and math that proves it. But you're still wrong because I simply choose not to believe that proof matters; what I think is all that matters. And I need nothing to back it up because I believe what I want and you're all wrong."
