I'm wondering, with high variance on p2pool or another somewhat smaller pool, is it possible to actually lose money? Like in the long run luck is irrelevant, but what if you have really bad luck and then the difficulty goes up 30%?
In this situation do you lose money because of high variance?
I don't understand the math well enough to answer this question but I am sure many of you can
No, I don't think you will loose money. Now this has grown a lot and I don't think you have to do a long run and will the difficulty go up by 30% ? I don't think so. It will not go all of a sudden. Everything is risky, there is an equal chance for both profit and lose.
Kindly,
