MPH is the best and most trustworthy pool. I wasted time and got scammed by other ETN and MUSIC pools.

So tell me why I am 1 hour and 10 minutes without gaining any zcash in MPH, while in other pool every 10 minutes I get something?
yesterday in MPH I got nothing for 4 hours, I got really pissed, I sent an email asking if it was normal, they answered that I had bad luck, bad luck!!! make me laugh please!!

Luck is everything. It will all even out in the end, this is PPLNS (google that and read up on it). Go to the coin you're mining on MPH and click on 'blocks'. Then look at 'last 20 blocks found'. On the far right you will see 'percentage' which is 'luck. If it is red it took longer than average if it is green it took shorter than average to hit a block and get paid. There will be strings of bad luck but those will be offset by strings of good luck where you get paid more than normal. Over a month it all evens out, as long as you don't get frustrated and hop to another pool because block hits take too long.

Right now on litecoin (the main coin I mine) luck has been pretty insane with a hit pretty often (about every 12 to 18 hours it seems like) but that will be offset by blocks that take 2 days to hit. That means 2 days without getting paid, but I'll keep chugging away for the high luck periods.

Be patient, the coins will come. If you don't have the nerve for PPLNS look for a PPS pool.

How many miners does it take to change a lightbulb?
A million - One to do it and 999,999 to verify that he did.

Baaahahaha ... did I make you laugh? I laughed at that one.

neoeny152,
You seem to be experienced with bitcoin, your answers are great and didactic
It is hard to learn the information about the mining, I am a beginner, and various information in the pools I do not understand and I think something is wrong and it is not wrong, just lack of information =/ like my previous post
clarify to me what is the 'hit a block' that you say
If I find a block, do I get any bonuses?
