Humm, even my 27-28th has mined at least 2 blocks that i know of... this is also only been mining for a bit over 3 weeks.

Total BTC received from the pool is just a little over 39 btc.  I know things are suppose to even out and work in our favor eventually but that just makes me think, I could have over 50 btc (if not more) if I took the risk and solo mined.

With that said Multipool has been mining for about the same time with almost 10x my hash power so how can this be right?

In any case is there some post on here detailing exactly how valid hashes can be submitted but never generate a block... I know that people have said it was software or hardware but I don't really get how someone can submit and the pool accepting hash that will never generate a block?  I thought for the most part CgMiner is used for many asics, I would doubt that he would write bad code.. also doesn't a valid hash have to have the correct amount of leading zeros (if that even matters)?  AFIK.

So it would be great if someone point me to how this is done, as far as i know the asics don't care about anything else but generate valid hashes (some of which should generate a block).  I think some very detailed super geek technical information on how this can happen would help us all especially to potentially figure out who is shooting blanks!
