Its not normal, im reciving 70% less than usual
Yesterday we hit a block after 7,5 hours which corresponded to 590% effort on the pool. This was so far the hardest block on the pool. Then a few 150-250% blocks and you get the picture, why there has been a bad day at virtopia. If you average the effort on found blocks in the last 24 hours (only 10 blocks), you get average effort 177% per block. In my case, I should be getting 265 rvn/day according to calculations, yesterday only 149 rvn.
But on the other side, if you average the previous good days with today, you should be still getting more as on other big pools. For example if I average last 5 days on virtopia, I got 295.10 RVN daily on average, which is still better then calculated 258.33 RVN/day
