Title: Why do I sometimes not get any shares in a round? Post by: Gamah on April 07, 2013, 08:55:26 PM Per the image below, why wouldn't I have had shares happening in the red sections, when I was even able to submit 2 during a round time that was significantly shorter in green?

wow the newbies section is really active here. Title: Re: Why do I sometimes not get any shares in a round? Post by: Gator-hex on April 07, 2013, 10:03:31 PM Use a PPS pool instead of a scam pool ;)
I recommend 50BTC or BitMinter Title: Re: Why do I sometimes not get any shares in a round? Post by: lassdas on April 07, 2013, 10:07:32 PM It's called luck, or variance.
You've just been lucky to find 2shares in a row within a few seconds in one round and unlucky to find no shares at all within 30minutes in another round.

You've just been lucky to find 2shares in a row within a few seconds in one round and unlucky to find no shares at all within 30minutes in another round. The rule of averages tells me that I get a share more or less every 10 seconds... I can understand that not happening during the 3 minute round, but in 27 minutes I should have generated some 203 shares on average.. the odds don't stack up. Surely something else must be going on? I see rounds like this daily. Title: Re: Why do I sometimes not get any shares in a round?

Title: Re: Why do I sometimes not get any shares in a round? Post by: Gamah on April 07, 2013, 10:51:56 PM I just tried 50BTC but it wouldn't connect :( any PPS pools as reliable as slush's?

Just checked it and pool.50BTC.com is mining just fine. Title: Re: Why do I sometimes not get any shares in a round? Post by: lassdas on April 07, 2013, 10:58:23 PM Bitparking (http://mmpool.bitparking.com/pool) works just fine, has a lower fee than 50BTC, plus merged-mining name- and devcoins.
Title: Re: Why do I sometimes not get any shares in a round? Post by: Gamah on April 07, 2013, 11:34:46 PM With what I come up with on bitparking's PPS rate, I would have to mine for almost 33 hours (on average) to get what I've been averaging with 19 hours mining on slush's pool...
So back on topic: Is there no way to see if there was a networking issue or something else preventing me from submitting shares for almost half an hour, or should I just chalk it up to being extremely unlucky for a few rounds per day? |
