there timing to attack is right on during consecutive low luck days
Is it possible that the attacks are impacting 'luck'? Does the decreasing hash rate of the pool during these attacks have any impact luck? (or is it not really decreasing? just bad stats?) I'm new to mining so excuse me if these are dumb questions. I noticed the luck decreasing since the difficulty change, I understand that it takes longer to complete a block now but it looks like the luck calc takes that into consideration. Keep up the good work WK.
See my post above.
The luck is NOT caused or effected by the attack, but I could certainly see the attacker using that as more fuel for the "leave Eligius" fire, unfortunately.
