I'm mostly trying to find a balance between the wrong belief that "short shifts give me unfair low pay" and the wrong belief that "long shifts give me unfair low pay".
This is a good news, so many must look at pools with 1hr+ shifts and jump in, thinking BitMinter with its 12hr+ shifts will take days to fill.
The psychological angle is HUGE, good move Doc.
If the law of averages prevails here why not just make it 20 mins like the big pools? heck even 10? worst case we get some pool hoppers and start catching blocks faster than 5 days....
