Title: Suprnova finding blocks slower than ever?
Post by: Manojdaran on April 25, 2018, 02:29:34 AM
I dont know if its just me or the entire mining community. For the past week, I tried mining many currencies from suprnova, [Of course they have a huge hashrate] yet couldnt get what I thought or what WTM estimated! When I look through, blocks are rare to be found on suprnova, whereas pools with minimal hashrate could find considerably. Why is that? When inquired on BTG discord, dev said it is because of difficulty adjustment, and it will pass over time. Is it real?

WTM is never very accurate. My experience, they can be off by as much as 30 percent.

This is simply not possible. The higher hash rate wins consistently. That's why people choose suprnova and similar large pools, because their rewards are consistent. A minimal hashrate pool can "only appear" to be winning for a very short period of time (because of pure luck).

I agree, but the reward finding time is nowhere near to what the dev said. Even asked a BTG dev who has no ideas, asking to wait a little.
