Title: Power over the pools - what I can do...
Post by: pokeyjones on March 10, 2015, 05:20:07 AM
If a pool is performing well, or experiencing some luck, I can immediately turn that around by pointing a miner to it. So if you have strong competition and will slip me a few coins on the side, I will go destroy their world.

Look what I did to AntPool

 25.1279467    4/120    5h 52m 12s   635.55%    61.26 PH/s    301,397,757,840

High Score? What does that mean? Did I break the game?

It's expected on average to be more than 635.55% 174 blocks out of 100,000

I once heard over 50% of statistics are just plain made up.

Most statistics are just made up or not valid.
Few people even understand them, let alone report valid statistics :P

Bitminter had some awesome luck lately.

Can I pay you to NOT mine in my pool?
