well if you came here and raised yourself to 5n during the 16k to 19.9k time period you are kinda of screwed
if you got to 5n early when coins were at 4-6k you made out.

I have been with the pool since the beginning and aim to stay here.
On all 3 of those points, we mostly agree; however, it still doesn't change the fact that "since we expanded" is, at best, misleading to even put into the conversation (I point to the phrase I've most had to type in the last decade: correlation does not show, or prove, causality).
no you miss my point entirely.
my point is very simple since we went from well under 20ph to well over 100ph
the luck sucks.
from the beginning up to the expansion the luck was average. as you point out 106% is fine especially since we get block tx rewards and low and now no fees.
I am saying 150% is not fine.
even with block tx fees and no fees.
it is not complicated the turning point was picked by me only because we added the hash.
Surely you see that means not a single thing in any way other then the luck was close to normal and now it sucks.
It is hard for me to put this into words as I am only an okay writer.
But
1)pool got big in may of 2018
2)luck sucks since may of 2018
3)every block we hit is over 100% since may of 2018
there is no meaning or cause implied in that simple set of 3 facts
that is all true shit not misleading in any way
Life can do that.
Here is an example I live in Howell NJ it is near New Egypt NJ 30 years ago a T-storm stopped and sat on top of New Egypt NJ only 20 miles from my town it rain 11 inches in 24 hours and the entire town flooded. Some people even in the 1980's were spooked and thought it was the devils work
If it had been 1750 maybe some one would have been killed for being a witch. Modern times people said it was a freak T-storm.
So 6 blocks all over 120% in a row are simply freaky bad luck thats all. The luck started with halong moving the miners here merely a coincidence .
Now what hurts is the pool is now at the mercy of them. They built the coin level to 10btc and they could leave now as I type move all the gear to f2pool get pps.
We would mine here at 10ph and they double dip. If we hit one they get paid from f2pool and from us.
-ck has a good relationship with them.
I have a good relationship with them.
I don't want them to leave us.
I am hoping for them to rip a hot streak.
Rather then the cold streak that we are in.
6 blocks at 963 = 160.5%
lets do 3 quick ones and we all feel better.
