How can this happen?
12 blocks found in 2016
Zero blocks found in 2017, exactly at the moment
in which i joined this pool.
What are the odds of this?
I'm an unlucky one, I think.
Not really what killed blocks was btc price range.
In 2016 1 btc at nicehash could rent a lot and give you about a 1 in 12 shot at a block from July 15 or so on well maybe more like a 1 in 13 shot at a block
for all of 2016 1 btc was less then 910
so I could rent 1 btc 1 time a month for under 500.
As price shot up in Nov 2016 above 500 from Jan 2016 to Nov 2016 I did 2 or 3 btc in rentals Spent well under 2000 doing it.
Last year it was 900 to 19500 and now it is 10,700 I can not spend 1 btc 2 or 3 times this year. Same is true for most of use renters so hitting a block is harder.
3 misses at 10,700 = 31100 usd
3 misses at 500 = 1500 usd
