Did something happen with Poolerino? I started mining at 1200 kh/s and went to sleep as soon as the fork happened. Now I woke up only to see that I've made only 5 coins in the previous 8 hours.
Does that mean I just wasted my mining power and electricity?
Here's what one of their announcements say:
"WE ARE BACK! Sorry, but after the fork last night, we hade to remove the blocks, that we're mined in the forkchain, but we are back on the right chain rightnow, and hoping, that there will be no more forks after this! Happy Mining!"
When you are mining, whether solo or through a pool, you are always at risk of mining on a wrong fork. When you mine a block solution on a wrong fork, there is no coin generated because the blocks become orphaned, i.e., subsequent blocks on the right fork will not recognize them, i.e., will not recognize that any coins got created. So, it's not so much that you wasted mining power and electricity, as that you are always risking a certain percentage of the times blocks are found, they turn out not to be valid, and that's what appears to have happened in your case. But statistically, over the long-term, you should not suffer this anymore than anyone else, so you should consider it just an inherent risk of mining, not that you got singled out to take losses.
