well, you get a reward once we find a block. We have not hit a block for going on 7 days (152.5 hours) also you have diminished rewards as you ramp up - I think that takes about 7 days.
Ramp up takes 5 block finds. Normally, if we have 100% luck, that is on the order of 7 days, but it could be 3 days, or 10 days, or ... whatever it takes to find 5 blocks.
wait, its 5 blocks to get ramp up? from the way it was explained to me was that it was between 7-8 days or was it 6-7 days? I was receiving full reward after like 3 or 4 blocks
