Enjoy new ECC wallet update, give me some feedback please
I am afraid of bothering you too much updates but sooner the better.

You need to give us one more update, this time with a constant block reward!!!

I have already demonstrated that the people mining constantly were only getting 90% of the number of coins they should expect. It is even worse than that. My previous figures were the previous 7 days. In the 24 hours since then I got these results:

Novahash: 173,359.026 per block for 4 blocks
Hashfever: 171,181.571 per block for 7 blocks
OKPool: 172,247.381 per block for 91 blocks

Is this OK for you? It's possible that the results for Novahash and Hashfever might not be statistically significant, but the ones for OKPool should be pretty good. I'd bet that ECCHouse will have similar results.

HERE IS WHY THE POOLS ARN'T GETTING AS MANY ECC AS THEY WOULD EXPECT

No doubt they have already taken more blocks since I checked just a few minutes ago. I copied their results into a spreadsheet and ran some calculations. The times are the number of minutes and seconds between the blocks that they found. There is no connection between the time between blocks column and the ECC/block column. I just put the averages on the same row, etc.

	ECC/block	TIME
Average	239000	02:39
Median	248109	00:43
Min	100332	00:00
Max	299862	25:03

One more frightening statistic. They are mining 1/3 of the blocks!!! Even though they are aren't even trying to mine some of them, they are still getting 1/3 of all the blocks!!!!!!

Obviously they are mining incredibly heavily (1/3 of all of the blocks!!!) and are using some sort of profit switching algorithm, which tends to go after the high reward blocks. Another important point: They only started 3.5 days ago!!! That is, unless they were using a different wallet address. Still, since the luck the pools have been having is getting worse lately, I think they just started recently.

You might think this is some sort of multipool, but I think you would be wrong. As soon as the coins mature, they are transferred to this address. Only about 8 million coins have been transferred out of that one, so if it is a multipool, it's not paying out quickly.

Obviously this is some sort of whale! Frankly, if they can contribute that much hash power, they can have their way. But, IMO, we should at least even things out so that the normal miners aren't essentially taxed at 10% to 20% because the odds for the high reward blocks are so much lower than for the low reward ones, thanks to someone with a huge amount of hash figuring out how to go after the high reward ones and using that in his profit switching algorithm.

At this point, I would recommend that anyone who is mining this coin just stop mining it and mine something else where the blocks can't be cherry-picked, then trade for the ECC. You won't have a fair chance at the high-reward blocks otherwise. You can come back and mine it after a wallet is issued that fixes the reward at a constant 200,000 ECC.
