So what is the longest the pool has gone without a block?
The length of time is not important because the rate changes with our pool size but it's the Diff% you go by. The two highest Diff% blocks we've ever had were 875.193% on 10/22/2017 and 928.788% on 10/26/2017. They can be found on the Block Statistics page. We are at a Diff% of 229% right now.
The pool had a 3 month stretch of decent luck so the question would be what is the expected amount of blocks for Feb? 5?

It is interesting that when the pool had 100PH the luck fell well short of expected. That was a bad time for bad luck since that might of sealed the fate of this pool not getting back to 100+PH again
Even though that is probably the rate you get from the evil pools like antpool each month from their pinch.
How bad does the luck have to be to payout worse than Slush if they had 100% luck?
I think Kano's pool is great but I am not sure why Avalon can't work with this pool to give it some beef.
Slush seems to have gotten the juice it needed:
