started mit my jupiters 4 days ago on eligius.
my miners have found 3 blocks so far.
eligius has paid me
"everpaid" 26.46
"unpaid + everpaid" = 31.32
but: "maximum reward" 36.84
will i get maximum reward ever ? why is the spread so large ? (it seems to be smaller with other pool members)
does this further mean i would sit on 75 btc if i had mined alone and is this (bad) luck ?
You are mining at about 3200 GH/s so if you were solo mining at the previous difficulty (it just went up) you would generate a block every 3 days. Now this is an estimate it may take you 5 days to solve a block and then 1 day for the next this refers to variance (or luck as some call it). So NO chances are you would not be sitting on 75 BTC more likely you would have solved one block by yourself and be sitting on 25 BTC but who knows the variance could work in your favor and you could have more. Latency becomes an issue when you solo mine and you have to make sure it is all set up correctly otherwise you could be working on old work and never solve a block(I hope I said that right). We (the pool) are all being served work and work served to someone else is work you don't have to do so I wouldn't look at it as you (your miner) solved three blocks but rather the pool did. Based on my math you should have about 33.6 BTC with 3200 GH/s for 4 days, so when you figure some variance (luck if you so desire) you are right where you should be. Pooled mining doesn't cut into your income (except for fees and there are none here) it cuts down on your variance, your income over a given period of time would be the same whether you are pool mining or solo mining. my miners have found 3 blocks so far.

Took care of it, though.
