Is it normal that people on Skein are mining a lot of dgb and finding block 50 times more than scrypt Huh Look how many blocks are found... don't understand why there is so much difference between scrypt and skein... this should be adjusted with difficulty normaly between all algos right ?  (Skein: http://birdspool.no-ip.org:5031/static/stats/ Scrypt: http://p2phash.com:9022/static/)

Taking the last 10 hours worth of data available from http://insight.dgb.cryptopoolmining.com I've come up with the following stats:

Groestl........185 blocks found
Qubit...........182 blocks found
Scrypt.........113 blocks found
SHA-256.....196 blocks found
Skein..........190 blocks found

The *big* difference between the two pools you linked to is due to the big difference in the hashrate of each pool - bird's pool is finding blocks at a much faster pace because there is a much larger hashrate contribution (individual miners' proportionate payouts should be very closely aligned on the other hand, since the scrypt miner would have a larger payout relative to hash contributed).

That having been said, the total blocks found (on a global, DGB network basis) for scrypt is clearly lower than the rest for this 10 hour period. (I don't have block explorer info going any further back than that, but I will keep adding to the spreadsheet I've started.)
