Yep, but note I asked if hash rate stayed the same..
So I suppose I'm asking, why leave in the first place..
If your 2% shrinks to 1%, the leaving 1% must've thought their bread buttered better elsewhere..
But if it's all luck, and your 1 larger payment at BM every 30 days is about on par with 30 way smaller payments elsewhere every day, then why leave?
Just psychological for one or two at first, but that's enough to start the snowball rolling?
Or, were they definitely better off elsewhere?
When YOU moved, if ONLY you had moved, would you have been better off longer term?
So out of interest, why have many folks moved on? Assuming hashrate about the same, all pools must pay out about the same, give or take?
pool shrinks a bit say from 2% to 1%
this is about 6 blocks every 2 days down to 3 blocks every 2 days.
this happened a while back.
then a cold streak. I left when this pool had back to back .99 cdf so you hit 2 blocks in 11 days vs less then 2 days.
during the cold streak when I left 7 of 10 blocks were .90 cdf or higher.
crazy bad variance.
A lot of us left at that time
pools share got lower then 1%
lower than 0.5%
so on and so forth.
