I try not to mine at 0, but occasionally do when my rig is rented out. I'd had a rather effective strategy with the longer shifts of compensating for that by throwing a lot more effort at the pool to make up for times when I was at 0, with that extra work pulling in enough to cover the cost plus a little extra. Now, with the shorter shifts, that's more of a gamble. If you put a lot of work into an unlucky period, not being able to sustain it means it will go unpaid (conversely, putting in a lot of extra work just before a lucky period would be freaking awesome).

Here's an example. We hit one block when my dance card was partially filled at 12TH. But now, it's cleared itself and I'm back down to .9.

I can understand your feelings and I have mentioned before the same things. But as The Doc has pointed out the law of averages should prevail

Hey Doc as a feature why not show a graph/user what they have earned and compare it to the btc/day/thash type of thing. This way each user could see how much they are making. This should give a good perspective oh how much users are earning/site averages. It should also show how great a week last week was with all the lucky blocks.

To those who rent, renting it is a gamble. More now than before but if you hit them right you can get great returns for not a lot of btc.

Thanks
