That's a good question maybe others smarter than myself about the whole network security can answer but to me just seems like ninja is basically twice as big now even though it's 2 pools.
So when burst team pool shows Miners: 579 and ninja shows Miners: 687 are those singular people mining or every single mining computer from all users?
Why wouldn't it make sense for me to go back to ninja for the faster deadline confirms even though it's a max 24hr deadline, I'd gladly take that chance with my tiny 20tb's. Shit yesterday I sat and watched a sub 100 deadline that would have won a block waiting to confirm only to see the next block start up before it even confirmed and lost it of course lol
Don't worry about those larger numbers as I think they are the number of miners that have at one time registered on the Pools. The actual number of miners whose nonces have been accepted are the Miners Responded number in the middle of the screen. Typically now only 65 on ninja and 200 on burst-team.
I have switched between the two pools several times and with my TB I only get within the deadline on ninla about 2 Blocks out of 3 but have to say I much prefer it for responsiveness, consistency and total payout.

That's right, the large number is simply how many accounts are assigned to the pool.
I have successfully gotten the new mining team to move some of their miners over to the new pool. I do think though, that we're going to need to start another pool.
I will see what we can do about this.
But we've successfully balanced the power, so that's good! I think we will start yet another pool, and make it for smaller miners, then the pool.burst-team.us should likely be moved up to a 5 day deadline, and the new pool can be higher for smaller miners.
I will suggest this to haitch now.
But, I'm also not sure why you're having issues submitting deadlines, because that isn't an issue for me... on pool.burst-team.us right now...
We are going to be starting another pool for smaller miners, please give us a chance to get that done, as both of the team's pools have grown extremely fast, we will be needing to start another for smaller miners.
Your cries have not gone unheard! Just bear with us while we handle the situation.
My suggestion is currently this...
Ninja - will be kept at a 1 day deadline limit for larger miners
burst-team - will be set to 10-15 day limit for medium sized miners
new pool - will be set with 30 day limit
please bear with us while we work the details out and get the new pools up. BURST is growing extremely fast since we've been pushing more PR, so these are some great new growing pains, never fear, we always handle things quickly. Thanks!
