rewards are the same. what are you guys smoking.

True, rewards are still the same only less blocks being found atm because there are now more pools which divide the blocks. Therefore payout per hours is less.
Going to set up a forum when i relocated to my new house.
https://dgb.luckyminers.com

The number of pools on the network doesn't change the payout per hour.
Even an increase is total network hash wouldn't change the payout per hour or day until the re-target changes the difficulty.

For the pool your mining in it is. If a pool finds less blocks then there is less to be payed out to it's users. The amount per block stays around the same unless the network splits it..

Think what have here is a simple mis-communication

At a given difficulty, with a given hash-rate, the number of pools has no effect on the amount of blocks a specific pool will find.
hash*difficulty=blocks found

If more pools are created and with those new pools comes additional miners and therefore additional network hash, the difficulty will re-target, and the prior amount of hash will find less blocks as the difficulty has went up. I was simply stating that the number of pools itself doesn't affect the amount of blocks found; only the difficulty changes that.

1 MH/s, 1 pool, 1 difficulty == 1 MH/s, 1000 pools, 1 difficulty.
