WTF!

Again a block with over 10 hours....what is happening at slush?

This blocktimes in this order with this times are not normal, if you are looking three month back.

What is the reason for this? Is it the pool itself or is there something wrong in the whole network?

Anybody some answers?



I was you not too long ago.  Wondering the same thing during slow times like this.  According to statistics [on hash rate] our pool should find one block approximately every 5 hours and 30 minutes; or 4.7 blocks every 24 hours in order to maintain 100% luck.  Those were rough estimates.  However, the hash rate does not remain consistent either.  That's why it's a rough estimate.

So, again, that's to maintain 100% luck; 4.7 blocks every 24 hours at present hash rate.  We go 15 hours before finding a block from time to time.  So, don't pay attention to THE NOW.  LOOK at the pool luck for the last 30 days...  It is above 100%.  Just be patient.

Also, I think part of it has to do with the total hash rate of the network not keeping up with the present difficulty.  Which see:
