Is that normal?

As if blocks below 75% don't exist anymore, or something...

Don't know if it's normal, but I do know it's painful.

yeah it can happen.  this is now a small pool. percent wise    down side means bad luck is really long and slow.  if you look at the chart 92% lasts 1 day.  there was a time a 92% block would take us under 4 hours .  why asic miner was king of the world last spring and came to our pool we had more then 30% of the entire network.  we made lots of 5 and 10 minute blocks.

This pool has a huge upside if it gets hot you can earn 3x what you should in a single day.     of course when you move here from a pool like btcguild or cex.io you can be very annoyed when the cold streak comes.  I finally got back to a high hash rate and am now at 850gh.  Was with the doc for more then 15 months in a row. but I moved to btcguild in jan of this year.

A few days ago I felt luck and switched back here hoping for good luck.  So my 850gh has earned me about .04btc in a 2.5 day period.
if I had stayed with btcguild I would have made around .24 btc  I was hoping to over earn.
not under earn with the switch.
  I think I will bail tonight as the bad luck is tough.

That is probably my plan too unfortunately unless this block gets solved soon and the next one is better. I know it's all luck, but I am at 1.5-2 Thps, so the bad luck is really killing me.

Same here. Just getting going. Spent some time at BTC Guild on PPS, and was really digging the steady 0.1 BTC every 12 hours. Since coming here 5 days ago, I have 'lost' over 1BTC and counting. Unless this changes dramatically within the next 12 hours, I will be leaving too. Cool web site and stats, but not $600+/week cool.
