You already hit the nail on the head. 50BTC @ 103 TH/s means they should find blocks 4x as fast as BitMinter. Which, they do... Obviously, you only get paid 1/4 per block, but it does reduce variance.

Ok cool.
Coincidently, we just got the luckiest block you could ever hope for!! Shocked

Why are our block builds so terrible on this pool these days?

My devices on the 50btc pool rarely exceed 4 hour blocks.
Where as on minter, we get these crazy 18 hour blocks!? with most blocks exceeding 6 hours

Is this just a simple fact of not having enough power to pump into the network relative to everyone else?
Minter being at 24TH and 50btc being at 103TH seems like the primary difference.
Or is it that the merged mining affects this?

So why do we find nmc blocks without Btc ones ?

If the difficulty of your share is more than the NMC difficulty, it will solve an NMC block. If it is higher than the BTC difficulty, it will also solve a BTC block. Since BTC Diff is more than NMC Diff, finding one that is >= BTC diff will always be >= NMC as well.

pretty logic...

Because difficulty for NMC is much lower than difficulty for BTC.

Is it normal that we find a btc block pratically the same time as à nmc block or the inverse lately ?

Finding a BTC block should always produce a matching NMC block assuming nothing was wrong in the NMC block creation (outdated NMC info/orphan). The only time this wouldn't be the case is if NMC somehow had a higher difficulty than BTC.

we haven't attracted many mini rigs

FefoxBFL has 4 (500GH x 4) with at least 2 more on the way.

I thought all pool were working on the same block at the same time. If this is wrong please tell me. I don't understand why we are not making more. I see on block chain the other pools are raking it in.

The more hashrate we have, the more chance we have to make a block.

It's like complaining that someone else keeps winning on the slots and you keep losing... it's just luck.

We've only found 12 blocks in the last 5 days Sad

Yes, we found 12 and should have found 25 ... less than 50% of expected payout. This wave of bad luck just doesn't want to leave. No one wearing red underwear?
