Re: [2900 TH] BTC Guild - Pays TxFees+Orphan+NMC, Stratum, Private Servers

No, I wish to stand outside the restaurant saying that the restaurant and the food are good in general, but can be improved.
What is so bad with adding luck per user selectable length of time to the already good selection of statistics?
How is that against the interest of pool users?
Wouldn't you like it if you could see what the luck was for the past 7 days for example?

I've said this before, but I'll repeat myself. Why does it matter? Luck is luck. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. You have no control over it. If you're considering going to a pool because it has "good luck", make sure you throw salt over your shoulder first.

If it doesn't matter then why every single major pool including BTCGuild display luck?
You are making a point that luck does not matter, yet the reality shows it does: people use it to feel good about their choices, regardless of being completely random.

Considering 25+% of the BTC mining population is on BTCGuild, apparently a large number also don't care.

Don't confuse not caring, with not knowing.
I am absolutely certain that if the admin was to put a poll on the website along these lines - "Would you like me to add an option where you can check pool luck for any period you want" more than 50% would vote YES. Realistically even more than 75% would vote YES, but it has no negative effect on their mining experience, but quite the opposite - the more statistics there are, the better. People like fancy graphics and stats. It also would have a negligible effect on the performance of the website as the data is already there - it just have to be presented in a different way.
So it's a win-win situation.
