Still new and learning here but I’m curious...
What would be in a block that takes a pool with 1.631 Eh/s, 6 or even 9 hours to complete? Some blocks go really quick while others seem to take forever... so is it the amount of work to be done? That the pool hasn’t found a new block to work on? A combination?
Just wondering.
I am also thinking to leave slushpool for Antpool, after disappointing performance on 12/25 . 10 vs 21 block
Same for today.
I know Slushpool pay a little bit higher, but if it can't find any block, this really does not matter. Antpool PPS+'s pay is much better now and I can average .0025 per S9 similar to Slushpool's Score systems, but they have much higher (2x) block count for 12/25 and 12/27
