Was there a reason we switched pools to bitminter? I don't really mind just curious. I went back 5 pages or so and just seen talk of no blocks. So I thought I would just go ahead and ask.

Adam, you run a good pool at Multipool. I've used it to mine various coins. Keep up the good work. Wasn't sure at first if you were the official Multipool when I saw you show up at Bitminter.
The concern that everyone has is with that much hash, you should be solving a block every couple of days. Is this just a run of bad luck or some other problem? Were your blocks solved at Ghash on par with what the average of your hash rate should be solving?
As I stated before, we don't solve Bitcoin blocks. For that coin, we merely proxy stratum connections directly to the upstream pool (Currently Bitminter). Mining at Multipool when we're on BTC is exactly the same as mining directly at Bitminter, other than having your worker name changed to ours and your shares recorded in our database for payouts.
If one of our miners happens to solve a block, the share is sent upstream just like every other share. We've already found a Bitcoin block and multiple Namecoin blocks, which proves the software is working as designed.The upstream pool is then responsible for assembling the block and submitting it to the network. We've already found a Bitcoin block for Bitminter and multiple Namecoin blocks, which proves the software is working as designed. I do not have statistics on what blocks were found by us when we were proxying to ghash, as they do not publish that information.
10 days is way too short of a period for anyone to be calling 'bad luck' on a group of users with ~200TH. If you want something to compare with, head over and take a look at
https://eclipsemc.com/block_stats.php. They have over 3x our average hashrate on Bitminter and have several times recently gone 2-3 days without finding a block.
