Seems like we are having a luck hopper problem.
3 hours here, 2 minutes there, 4 hours, 1 minute. Wacky! But that is randomness for you!
its called statistics. the diff with our hashing power dictates we will find x blocks a day. Luck will causes variants above and below that mark but in the end it will average out close to what it should be.
it would be cool if the masses would accept that as fact instead of complaining about long blocks and being silent on 1 minute blocks.
Well I am not the masses and I am mining 24/7, because I see that @ 102 - 103% mining luck the pool is paying out quite well for me. But pool luck (unequal to my mining luck) does not consider the actual hash rate in the pool. Now subjective indication ís that at ususal pool luck I observe an average pool hash rates which comes to 44 - 49 Thashes. If the pool performs well we get 51 Thashes/s, which is more than what would have been to be expected and is extremely unlikely.
So what I am curious to look for is whether if pool luck is high the pool attrackts more people than would come by pool hopping. This would somehow influence the income in an inconvient way. Additional questions would be where these People come from. No Problem with idle GPU's, but what if a shift from the guild or ABCpool is very co-operative?
Maybe the question has been discussed/clarified already. Then I apologize for bothering a hint would be nice.
