Yes, thats true ! When you play roulette and see a table with 20 times red, bett all you got on black ! For sure it will come.

Srsly: If a pool got 10000k miners he is still able to get 100000 blocks with under 10k coins in it. Its a lotto-roulette-gambling coin we talk about here.
Its unusual but possible. So go away with your 2 hours testing time... thats nothing.

Easy to spot scam pools because you end up with 25% of what you should get, even after 1-2 hours. I know that luck plays a factor but that's not the case in pools with enough miners. I have been using without any issue and auto payouts always get sent in a timely manner.

At no point did I say 2 hours testing time, but okay moron. I said it's easy to spot scams early on. Obviously you have no idea what you're talking about and are happy to be scammed, which is up to you. My advice is solid and people who follow it won't get scammed. If I was so inclined I could easily set up a scam pool and lie about found blocks, not hard at all. Larger pools will ALWAYS find blocks regularly and your payouts will be EXACTLY what coinwarz says, within 5% difficulty variation. Now if you stay with a pool for 24 hours and you get 25% of what you are due then you're an idiot and deserve to be scammed. My point is that if you join a large pool then your average payouts will be close to the coinwarz estimates, even after a coup,le of hours. Obviously these things are more accurate over time, but a 75% reduction is a farce and the pool is either very unlucky (in which case shouldn't be used) or it's a scam.

Your advice promotes poolhopping which generally costs people money. It is entirely possible for a pool to have a low payout over a day long period, if they unfortunately only completed blocks that were worth a low amount compared to the average for that day, which is plausible, unlikely perhaps but with so much mining going on I'm sure it's happened many times to many pools. A 25% payout does sound ridiculously low but I have never known a pool payout so little, although people do tend to vastly overestimate how many coins they're due even using coinwarz, so that may well be a factor. Luck doesn't really exist, abandoning a pool because it's "unlucky" is just disguised poolhopping and not particularly sound advice, see the events are "random", so your advice could easily lead to someone pool hopping right before his previous pool discovers a max reward block. The point is you're too quick to hurl around scam just because you aren't getting what you feel you're due, that's pretty rude especially when you have no actual proof of any wrongdoing and your advice tends to lead to miners getting less money overall, especially with pools that use a PPLNS system.

Again what are people misquoting me for. I in no way promote pool hopping. This is my advice:

Find the biggest pool and use it, however, if the payouts are way less than they should be then find another BIG pool. If the payouts are close to expected then stick with it. If you think that pool hopping is bad when using a scam pool.........wow.

Because you're accusing other pools of being scams just because you have bad luck and that isn't okay.
You know you can just check the blockchain right? If the reward reported is more than the reward the pool claims to have gotten then you have a scammer, hence why no-one does that, because it's so ridiculously easy to catch and you're foolish for thinking otherwise. Feeling the need to throw baseless accusations at other pool owners because you don't understand simple mathematics or how cryptocurrencies work is guaranteed to get some blowback, if you think spouting your misinformed opinion promoting paranoia while trying to shill for a particular pool using scare tactics is okay........wow.
