Heya,
Basically this is my first post too.. I came here ask a question on my pool's thread but I've found out I can't post there before I get to post something serious here so let me ask the question here:

The pool I'm mining at has those statistics:

Pool Hash Rate   337.603 MH/s
Pool Efficiency   83.42%
Current Active Workers   807
Current Difficulty   113.32414688
Est. Avg. Time per Round   24 minutes 1 second
Est. Shares this Round   116044 (done: 2482.85%)
Next Network Block   15262 (Current: 15261)
Last Block Found   14702
Time Since Last Block   9 hours 7 minutes 49 seconds

Round Shares Submitted shares since last found block (ie. round shares)
Est. Shares   116044 (done: 2486.18%)
Pool Valid   2885057
Your Valid   905
Pool Invalid   573053
Your Invalid   16

Is it normal for a pool not to get a new block for 9h at difficulty 113?!

I'm part of that same pool. Just started mining a few hours ago. They finally got the block, but comparing to the previous blocks of similar difficulty it should definitely not have taken that long.
