Wow guys - that's some blocktastic green run you've got going on there, well done!
Do you think it's because of your modifications -ck mentioned earlier?:
Gimme gimme........
The modifications are custom and private, sorry
Pools need to have some advantage.
I'm intrigued......
Well ... actually ... it is valid to say it affects the % luck of the pool.
There is a problem in the bitcoin world of saying what the pool's luck is.
Although you would statistically expect that over a long period of time, the pool's accepted hashes would approach the expected: 100% luck, that isn't completely true.
There are factors that reduce the number of blocks found.
Specifically orphans.
Some pools have long term bad luck because they are slow at handling block changes and lose more blocks because of that.
Eligius is an example of this
There were also pools that counted stale shares for a short period of time after the block change had occurred.
While this makes the pool look better by lowering and lying about their reject statistics, it also has the long term effect of lowering the pool luck.
Not sure which pools do this.
One pool in particular doesn't count all the hashes used to produce it's blocks and thus reports luck higher than it really is.
P2Pool
The change does have a long term affect on our % luck, but it doesn't affect what is really 'Luck' - which isn't exactly what pools report
However, it is also true to simply say that running ckpool has a long term effect on the % luck since it handles block changes very fast.
