very nice! a second block!
Ok, that should tilt the month's luck:
Ok i guess it needs to be above 100% to be lucky, sorry about that... At least we are closer to average instead of unlucky.

What a pleasant surprise to wake up to this morning, kinda feels like the beginning of the month again.
How come nobody's complaining it was such a short wait, Block was nearly 6 days early really throws off my whole weekend.

Actually, 4 blocks out of 5.4 expected so far is not that bad or unlucky. We have to remember that a 100% block for our pool size is a little over 6 days. Since we had 3 rather quick blocks right at the start of February this 339% block was not out of the realm of normal and we have a real shot of a good February.
no it is not - one more and we will be right where it is estimated to be - but if you go back as far as the table shows, I think we are about 8 blocks or so below expected.

This has been a bad luck month eh? But not for long

In the big pools the luck has been just as shitty lately. Just a bad luck season or something.

2 minutes of nothing but invalid shares and you'll get disconnected. That's not the same as stale shares. No proper cgminer would ignore the difficulty sent to it and continue sending fucked up 10 diff shares, unless you're using some broken shit arse fork, of which there are lots of I guess.
Thanks! I disabled stale share submission and everything seems to be normal now, continue mining as usual, but less dramatic now, with no disconnects. Yeah I agree I must have some shitty fork. But it at least works for now (Though be careful, the paedophile who runs that thread, called me a stalker for doing that, so you too may be called a stalker by a forum mod for reading multiple threads ...)
Anyway, the important point to note about the post I've quoted above, is that the answer is completely wrong.
Never disable stale share submission in a miner ... ever.
This can lose blocks.
This is one of the very brain dead things that Bitmain did in their clones of cgminer before the S9 - that I fixed in the S1/S2/S3 versions I created.
They throw away stale shares to make the stale share counts look better.
But this also throws away stale blocks, which can become valid blocks if the pool handles them using the change I requested in Bitcoin that core implemented a couple of years ago.
Now I will also say, that I didn't request the change from core for that reason, but it was discussed in the issue on the Bitcoin github when I brought it up.
We do also attempt to convert stale blocks to a valid block.
... and another forum mod has merited that post.
Why on earth would someone do that ... ... ...

Hello,
PPS pools have higher official fees, but that's not all.
If you try to work for them, you will notice that they tax you in a hidden way too: Your mean hashrate displayed by the pool will be lower than on a non pps pool.
They rarely pay the benefits of the transations.
You usually have 5% of Fee on PPS versus 1% to 2.5% for non-PPS pools.
On the other hand, you are paid, whether the pool is lucky or not.
This large fee permits to pps pool to have reserves.
The risk for them is a block retention attack by an important thief miner. In addition to the cost of a failure fully supported by the pool, a PPS pool is particularly exposed to this risk

The PPS pools act as a "reserve" for them, but that comes at a price of higher pool fees and the possible loss of the money "in transit", in case they get "hacked" or the pool it does not (really) have the proper reserve to withstand an extended bad luck period (or a combination of).
I guess a day/week loss of payment for a single asic miner isn't much to worry, but the whale miner would lose a fortune. Ironic they rather take the risk than learn to manage themselves. If the PPS pool fails a payment, then they would fail with it. Essentially you are trusting the pool like you would trust a bank, hope they can keep that "reserve" safe... And how can you audit if your PPS pool has the appropriate reserve levels?
agreed. for me it makes no sense why miners with huge hash rates would do a pps vs pplns -- i do understand why small miners do though.
