Hello,
I have been mining with this pool for about a week now and it has been great so far; however, no blocks haven't been found in over a day. Is anything going wrong? did everyone just freak out because of the 1% fee?
Hello,
Nothing is wrong, this is just a combination of difficulty, hashrate and variance. With the current hashrate and difficulty, a block is expected to be found every 18.5 hours on average. The current round seems to be a long one and we are already waiting for 32 hours for the block. That is just something that happens with low hashrate pools, variance is an important factor. On the other hand, most of the the previous 10 blocks have been found well below the average, so it works both ways. The 1% fee change had relatively little impact on the total hashrate, maybe 10% lower hashrate.
I hope this helps. You can find the same information on the Statistics->Pool and Block pages.
