Restarts have been very good for the past 5 or 6 months. When there are no restarts the blocks get long in the teeth..

There's a name for this in psychology, where you associate one action with another and draw a connection between them.  I forget what it is called or the specifics of it, but I remember one point of discussion was that while one tends to notice that (it appears) if A happens then B happens, the human brain is very good at keeping track of this.  For example, "Every time I drive down street X all the traffic lights are red."  What the human brain doesn't keep track of, however, is all the times that A did not happen, but B happened any way.  In reality you drive down street X all the time and the lights are green, but your brain only makes a point of when they are red.

It would be interesting to see how many blocks are solved immediately following a restart vs. no restart.  Of course there's no causation here, but it would still be interesting to see the numbers just for the sake of discussion.

Or maybe it's not the restart that appears to affect the pool, maybe it's just Kano posting that he restarted the pool that does it...  Cool

That's correct. Its a mental perception Fallacy. In fact, only if there is an issue with the pool every time and restarting solve it, then would there actually be a raise in odds of finding a block. We found hundreds of blocks. Did we need a restart to find them? No.

Meanwhile we noticed that a couples of time, when we got a restart, a block happened! We didn't make the assumption that "we didn't restart and we got a block, so restart are bad" so why would you do the opposite?

Its just so happen that the odds of finding a block at any time is reasonably high, thus its bound to happen shortly after restarts, just normal odds.

Understanding this does not make me a troll, i'm just objectively observing the pool's performance and we're above average, whereas we would be under average if there was a problem with the pool that was only fixed by repeatedly restarting, since Kano has NOT been restarting on demand.

Dunno the exact numbers but when they were being restarted for whatever reason we were solving blocks more often. Less restarts lately, long blocks.

Last weeks' 3 in a row was either an anomaly or there were restarts involved.

But it makes me so happy when we solve a block, and I like to be happy as much as I can!

Usually after someone starts talking about chicken or pool restarts, a block is hit. Does it work??? Who knows, but it's some thing to talk about... LOL

Usually the talk doesn't start until a block is getting long in the solve, in which case the pool is due to solve one anyway.  Doesn't hurt to talk about it, but I think it's more a case of correlation rather than causation.  Tongue

So someone get a chicken to restart the pool already!

Haha if a reset would let us solve a block quick when we're over 100% diff, this would mean we'd have something like 150% permanent luck because we don't do anything when we get fast blocks ^_^"

Its funny to watch thedreamer dream, whoever. Smiley

Stop trolling will ya?

You seem to enjoy the long blocks. Be positive or go mine on eligius. Lol

But I know what I'm having tomorrow. Would have had it tonight, but ran out of the hot sauce for the mix! Can't have chicken if it ain't got the tang of hot sauce!  Tongue

Damn man, take a bland bite for the team!

Looks like I'm having a chicken salad for lunch.

Does the chicken thing always seems to help? I mean if it does shoot I will be eating chicken every day if I have to!

Ruu \o/

nope i have a feeling the network will crash because all of the inefficient machines will be forced offline.. it will be like 2009 all over again and small usb miners and cpus will be the only thing mining.
that first week tho is going to be brutal. Sad i bet the block times will go over an hour.

unless they figure out a way to make mining chips use 1/4 the power they do now very cheaply.

It didn't happen last halving and it won't happen now. CPUs remain the least efficient miners so it makes no sense that they'd ever come back online in any parallel universe whatsoever.

it happend with LTC, the block halved and the diff dropped so much i got like 10 blocks in one weekend with my gpu..

maybe it wont be so bad, but i bet there will be a nice drop in difficulty.
LTC is nothing like BTC. The ASIC/FPGA/GPU/CPU difference is absolutely absurd with BTC. Diff will drop but there is no parallel universe that... etc
