hmmmm 94 hours and still no block.
Add in another 4.5PH and it would have been ~24hrs so far 
Slow blocks are ... slow
Anyone got 4.5PH lying around?

By the way, sometimes when you say there is a restart but you do not expect there to be failovers...
What is the difference between those of us who do failover, and the ones who do not?
The pool wont cause a failover if I don't restart ckpool.By the way, sometimes when you say there is a restart but you do not expect there to be failovers...

The pool is basically made up of 2 main parts:
1) ckpool that you mine to
2) ckdb that manages all the ckpool data, db, payouts etc and the web interface data/php
Restarting ckdb doesn't affect ckpool connections (except in rare unexpected circumstances)
If I restart ckpool, some will failover but most will not.
On a restart, ckpool passes the connections from the old one to the new one, but it's not 100% guaranteed every connection will survive this.

CKDB restart coming up in a minute.
No miners affected as usual for a ckdb restart (i.e. no pool restart)
Updates you'll see on the web site:
1) The shifts page now also shows how many times each shift has been rewarded -
i.e. how many blocks found on or after the shift inside the 500% limit after that shift
Remember the expected average is ~5 (a little bit above 5 due to the last shift in each payout pushing the 5Nd up on average half a shift)
Of course current shifts will be 0, 1, ... increasing as you go back past each block found
2) The Rewards page includes a truncated UTC date stamp for the block
3) The block statistics table includes an Age field showing how far back that statistic extends from when the last pool block was found
So that also means the time taken to find the last 5, 10, 25, 50, all blocks.

This is very good stuff.
I have got to start my own FAQ of Kano notes so I can keep up with these things.
Thank you sir!

Come on 64 hours already at time of this post and no block found yet 
We're only at 150%, these happen very regularly. I wouldn't be surprised if we get to 200%+
Certainly hope its not one of the killer blocks, Antpool had one a few days ago. over 10 hours @66Ph. 584 Billion shares. That would take us like 21 days....

That would be very nasty. I don't know what the luck% that come down to but one of those block is very rare. We had a 666.66666% block early this month it was iirc... and people were bordering on tears. ^_^"
Indeed when a high Diff block happens, the short term luck is pushed low, but it is the long term luck that is what matters, since no pool can avoid high Diff blocks
... and no pool/miner can know in advance when they will happen or even know during any Diff block, when it will end.

I've been here for a couple months so I know that block well. The above block @ANT was around 1,080%

Well waited more than a day at ghash for a block recently, even tho it has 4x hash than kano. Today blocks were found by mainly big pool, slush and eligius. Bitminter again was lucky to find a block.
And I have to say, I hate everytime I see BitFury or KnC. :/

Kind of Ironic i was saying last 2 weeks were tough since we had such low Hashrate. Then 2 hours later we had found 3 blocks ^_^"
