I see that those are the main Block finders :
aHBqmMiMzcHpYd9HSsGWnoLnA5GZ8Rn5KJ(F2Pool)
a69iYfxDwwuCnYdVKqscGSaLS2xfu6hDh5
aGbz8dk7XMs8ViqzTpJivVfZP7t5UmiQPG

What I don't understand is how F2pool finds most of the time 8~10 blocks in a raw!,  there is some serious block distributions problem(lyra2z bug or?).

P.S: I asked before if F2pool pays the Extra luck they get or miners only get what they should based on their hash-rate? there is no stat on F2pool and 4 me as a miner is hard to determine.

Edit: Another "Lucky" day with only 52% of the net hash-See 4 yourself:

146 GH/s out of total 246GH/s = 59% of hash on f2pool right now

may 26 - blocks 88871 to 89028 = 157 blocks on that date (yesterday)
87 out of 157 found by f2pool which is 55% of all blocks found yesterday.

May 25 - 89 blocks out of 146 found by f2pool, or 60% of all blocks that day.

Seems fine to me and corresponds with pools hashrate. I dont know how f2pool finds 8-10 blocks in a row, but they have majority of hashrate so nothing strange.

f2pool is PPS so you should get payed on shares submitted, you dont care how many blocks pool finds. Even if pools finds no blocks you get payed per shares submitted, hence the high fee 2.5%.  Also if pool is extremely lucky you won't get payed more - they keep it to themself.

It sucks f2pool doesn't have any statistics.
