Well in case anyone was wondering about pool changes (and someone commented before)

Blocks have been found since all changes that have occurred.
i.e. the pool does find blocks with the current configuration.
I'm not using any of the current ckpool git segwit which doesn't work.

The bad luck itself (as I posted before) has quite clearly been since the last block in November.

Now for some statistics (since the middle of May) I mentioned I'd post sooner or later:
Code:
Name         CDF[Erl]
S9v1         0.994766  103.6 BDR   79 Blocks
strat 0.8.x  0.883100   15.0 BDR   11 Blocks
A6+?         0.881335   83.2 BDR   73 Blocks
proxy 1      0.776782    6.5 BDR    5 Blocks
A7v1         0.772224    6.5 BDR    5 Blocks
S7+S5+?(4.8) 0.627001  307.3 BDR  302 Blocks
ckpool                   5.7 BDR    6 Blocks
S?+? (4.7)   0.298274   16.5 BDR   19 Blocks
S9v2         0.223353   10.2 BDR   13 Blocks
A?+? (4.9)   0.040362  143.3 BDR  165 Blocks

strat 0.5/0.6            0.4 BDR    0 Blocks

Total 668.1 BDR  678 Blocks
'strat' is stratehm stratum proxy

The total stats since May is:
Block finders: 753.8 BDR  750 Blocks
Non-block Finders: 3.5 BDR

Please tell me that we don't need to start sacrificing cats now, chickens I'm okay with, but cats, well I'm okay with that too but other people will get mad...  Cheesy

I had chicken for lunch, hoping to appease the block gods, but to no avail yet...

Regarding the bad luck streak...

1) First I am soooo sorry.  Srsly, so sorry.
2) Seems, whilst I was composing some bad-luck poetry, to target another pool of course, I was called away by events beyond my control and my cat sat on my bunker-PC's keyboard and she died.
3) Why does this matter, well her carcass was pressing CTRL+V and pasting the badluck passage into a google search window with site:kano.is in beginning of the search string...
4) I think she, RIP kitty, really messed us up sending out this bad juju but targeting our beloved pool
5) I don't go in the bunker often, but as soon as I saw her [and the terrible prose on screen] today - I put an end to it.
6) Srsly, so sorry.

Things should improve from here, again, sorry - it won't happen again.

of course it would have; not on luck itself, but stdev of blocks per day, almost certainly.
organofcorti should correct if i am wrong.

A smaller pool should typically have more variation in the number of blocks mined per day than a larger pool.

to me, this ^^ sounds right.

Yes, you will get more blocks per day, but you will still get 600%+ blocks.
Blocks per day is not the way to look at it, the way is average shares per block.

The only thing having more hashrate will do is make the bad blocks go by quicker, which makes it feel better, but the reality is that there is no difference. We would all be getting less per block also, so the amount of BTC per day would be lower, so the number of blocks per day is not relevant.

Holy crapola, batman, we're at a 2 Trillion share!!  Here's where you separate the serious from the frivolous!

Mine on, kano-ites, we're bound to crack this damnable hellBlock if I have to squat down and start prancing/clucking like a chicken!!  Cheesy

my 2c is that when kano had 45 Ph, having a good site might have moved him to 100 or above and it would have been less luck fluctuation.

There is no way to know if a change in hashrate would have any affect on luck.
Yes, it would potentially give us more blocks per day, but that does not necessarily correlate to an increase in luck.

We always see people pool hopping during bad luck and then returning once we get hot again.

Furthermore we had a few people who think s9's are unlucky on kano.is that have moved and likely will return when they see the same bad streaks elsewhere. Then there are the noobs who are easily enticed by Amazon gift cards or Roger Ver-fied zero fee pools.

Agreed, Zach. We can't deduce that factor because luck itself is not a scientifically definable element...and if you can wrap your head around that one, I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to talk to you about...  Grin  I have so much fun here it's ridiculous.

Seriously...hindsight is always clearer. I've always appreciated Kano's...and Con's...positions, and at least for me that's far more important than a slick site or catch-phrase PR...no matter the luck factor. I'd much rather have a pool operator whose acumen is in the specific technology, rather than in marketing/sales.

I gotta go have some real fun and clean house. Mine on.

Interesting. I mine here because it's transparent, openly managed, and for all appearances over an extended period of time, honest. I don't give a rusty duck about a fancy GUI; I want to see hard numbers and open structure, and that's out front here and not buried. I'm reasonably confident that bad luck is simply that.

I've been doing this for several years. I came here last year. I'm not going anywhere.

Mine on.
I agree, a fancy GUI isn't important to me either, Although a bit more condensed homepage would be nice.
I'm just passing on what some of my friends have said, which means others feel it to.

Everyone who has done website design etc. Knows that info on a site isn't what pulls everyone in, look layout and feel are a big part, Even if it's irrelevant to the purpose.

Bitminter's got a good website layout and they've lost most of their hash power over the last 2 months.

It is less relevant now as only the 'hard core" remains.
Regarding utility of flashy sites-i find slush's interface too buzy. On the home page there are few things that are truly relevant and most important is a oneliner hyperlink. Google had a single line box for years; it did not hurt them at all.

I wonder if someone can built a mathematical model for this. My hypothesis would be that smaller sites can only survive for long with high or moderate luck. If they are small, bad luck period can basically fluctuate them out of existence as there is a possibility of a vicious loop.

The sad truth is most people prefer a site that has so much crap that they only use 10% of it over a site that has exactly what they want/use.  Undecided
