I was fortunate enough to be here during the sad spell few days ago, jumped, pool got hot, came back....and I am the cooler----blame me everyone.

got to love these super long, energy consuming, cost more in electrical consumption than actual reward blocks. sweet chin music in my face !

Yeah. I have worked to keep my calm and not jump because of long blocks. I learned that when I moved from Eclipse to here because Slush was right in the middle of a good string of good luck and I thought it was normal! Still glad I moved, though.

My personal philosophy is that one of the good reasons to move pools is bad management. I moved from Eclipse because of a protracted string of bad decisions and a protracted period of time that their system would not pay out properly. I didn't know at the time that Eclipse has such a close relationship to BFL, so after learning that I will never go back there at all. You have to have trust in the pool's management as the pool operator has the ultimate control. If they appear to be dishonest in any way (like BFL's constant dishonesty) then THAT is a good reason to move.
