in that 2 hour period whomever hits the block or blocks it is his or hers just as if it was solo mined.

yeah koi will get the most hits he has 200 th I have .4 th but any one with dud gear/dud software will never get a block in that time period.

2 hours a day we all get a shot at a big hit.

the other 22 hours we are at normal.

This would discourage that suspect bad luck canon would it not. Opinions?

I would not mine here. I have .6 th. That's like an extra 8.333% donation (not that donations are bad or anything). But with so little hash I'll never find a block. I'm here for the 'pool' aspect of the pool.

It's like adding the Perk, 'Feeling Lucky'
Donations required - 8.333%.

I'm not feeling that lucky. But perhaps if all the people that worked a two hour shift were to pool 'their' blocks...

  This why I would prefer the top dozen pools to do it. Thus you would not be able to avoid it or you would have to go to a really small pool with high variance anyway.

I also want you to realize that during the 3 hour solo pool you are getting better odds then the power spent by your gear.

I am not going to get back in the top 50 here and I was in the top fifty from sept 2012 to may 2013 using a lot of gpus 20 -25 and 11-13 pc's.

  Mining coins as low as 6 bucks a piece. I paid a lot of dues for BTC. I taught a few hundred people how to mine once I sold them gear on ebay.

Here is my ebay record.

Here is my bitcointalk trust rating

  I support BTC for more then just the "I will make money idea of it".

Back to ideas splitting us into 5 teams with 20 percent of the hash each can help.

But I would like to propose another idea. I have 3 ant miner s-1's running under clocked and undervolted. 420gh how about we get a lot of antminer s-1 guys group them and see how ant miners do.

I have 6 r-box they run 195gh I can run them here in an r-box section along with a lot of other r-box

I have 1 dragon miner hosted 1th I run it at btc guild I am will to point it at a dragon miner only section of a pool.

  This idea is more work to do you need a miner to show some proof of what gear he really has. The sections need to be large 100th or more. since right now 100th is about a block a week. you need to run around 8 weeks to see if a 100th group is really far off.

This idea also has some other merits if you find a trouble section you can further test for possible commonalities within the group.
Lets say hard wired vs wi fi. may turn out that 100 sp10's with hard wired connections work better then 100 sp10's with wi fi.
On in the case of my hosted dragon miner it could turn out that it can't make a block. while people using dragon miners in house make blocks 2x the rate.

Once again it is harder to do then the simple 1/12 of your work is done solo mining idea that I offered earlier.
