Part of me likes long blocks. It gets some of the jumpers to go away to other pools making my shares worth more.
Go away and stay away jumpers.
LOL
I'm telling you, majority of my time is with Slush. Seriously. The last couple of days pissed me off. Had me paranoid. So, I switched for a bit before coming back. I'm not a hopper!
You can call me a "Jumper," that's fine. At least I made a good luck decision.
Yes, you are right about your shares being higher WHEN a block is found.
dmwardjr - not sure why you feel the need to justify an otherwise brilliant decision. There are no flukes in bitcoin mining, and seeing you have invested quite a bit in your hardware, I am (with hindsight) glad for you as clearly it has worked wonders on this occassion. What is perplexing me is why you'd want to switch back to slush when you are clearly doing better than you would at slush! I've got an account with the evil empire as well, and often switch over en-masse to them (not in the last few months though).
