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

If you and a friend walk into a casino, your friend bets 100 USD and wins 1 USD, you bet 1 USD and win 100 USD. How can this be right?

I don't think the casino would even bother to explain it. They would look at you for a moment, and decide you have had enough to drink.

It's random. This is why you mine in a pool.

Some users get a lot more pay than the blocks they find, some get a lot less. This is how pools work.

95% CDF doesn't mean there is 95% probability that the person is a scammer. If you mine long enough, it will happen to you. It doesn't mean you are a scammer. 5% of the time your luck is expected to be that bad.

If you walk into a casino and play the slots and every coin you put in results in a payout... the Casino would shut that slot down and check for mechanical bugs. It is not statistically normal even thought it may be statistically possible.

Pool mining ASSUMES all users are honest, and all users have hardware/software that are equally capable of finding a block, and that's why pool mining works. If you violate one of those assumptions, then you are taking advantage of the pool, intentionally or not.

So, that's the issue for me and others with respect to multipool. Multipool was reaching "my" limit of unreasonable behavior for the size of the hashrate. In a manufacturing operation, you expect a mean performance and you have upper and lower control / spec limits. if you are drifting far from the mean, consistently, you investigate why.

We are dealing with with real costs (capex and operations), which makes the conversation more emotional because for most of us it is *our* money rather than faceless corporation money that is mining.
