You know how prime numbers tend to group together?  I wonder if it is truly random...

The beauty of randomness...

You know, it is theoretically possible (however very very very very tiny probability) to solve 30 blocks in one day on a machine doing 10khash/sec.

But i think that winning a block on core2duo after 5 days, qualifies one for playing national lottery Wink

I have three mining rigs, two 5830, one has yet to solve any blocks, my 5870 has solved 4.  Here is the kicker....

My 2.4ghz core 2 duo on 1 processor (780kh) solved one after being on for 5 days.  It should do that every 1000 days or so?

Just thought I would toot my horn, and brag that I solved 7 blocks yesterday on my mining cluster of 8 5970's.

Oddly, 4 of the blocks were solved by a single 5970.

On average, at the current difficulty of 55000-something, I'm supposed to be solving less than 2 per day.

I know that a lucky day is occasionally to be expected - it's the nature of randomness - but after plenty of days of less than average results, it's nice to get a day of way more than average to balance it out.  And I suppose this thread is for the benefit of discouraged miners who are mining away and questioning their results, if they're not lucky at first.
