Seems like this pool has been having awful luck, if the blockstats page is accurate. "-88.60940710" I assume this means the pool has lost this much due to bad luck/long blocks?

Longest block ever if I am correct. It happens.

Sure it happens, but being -88 BTC would imply a long streak of bad luck rather than just a single long block :p. Infact, payoff for long blocks drops exponentially, seemingly capping at 30BTC or so, which would mean a couple of bad blocks wouldn't result in that high of a loss. It'd take a significant amount of unlucky blocks to hit -88 BTC.

It also makes me wonder about the longevity of the pool. Can the owner afford to keep this pool running? 88 BTC is almost $40k at the current price.

LOL, I assume doublec is doing alright...  but I also assume he appreciates your concern Wink
