It reminds me of how Deepbit disappeared from the pools list.
It's no wonder [Tycho], and others, have disappeared from these forums. Let's accuse everyone else, with NO evidence, of malfeasance as well so that we have no responsible people left in the community.
Great idea.
Well, seeing how things get removed from this thread, why bother?
let the data over time speak loudly on this one
Approximate Pool Luck* (24H / 3D / 1W / 2W / 1M / 3M / All Time): 57.525% / 66.081% / 76.537% / 80.554% / 84.873% / 90.909% / 98.545%
just a bad streak.. seems legit
Bad luck can't last forever unless it's not just luck and there is something more nefarious going on. Other pools may have also figured out how to gain some sort of mining advantage and are good about keeping it a secret. If someone discovered some sort of advantage that allowed them to earn more BTC, sharing it with anyone while it could still be exploited would be silly because it would eliminate the advantage.
I like the fact that eleuthria is so transparent regarding BTCGuild and urge eleuthria not to remove useful pool information like luck statistics. Most other pools don't even bother posting information about luck, so why have it on your site and open yourself up to scrutiny if you're trying to pull some shenanigans? That doesn't make any sense to me.
Since BtcGuild and Eligius are both underperforming right now, some other pools must be over performing since the difficulty keeps going up. Does anyone know which pools are experiencing better than average luck right now?
