It's the exact same situation that score based pools are in. You're attempting to predict when the pool will solve a block and it's a gamble.

I could do it this way... Any user under 70% efficiency wont be paid.

I wouldnt call myself unlucky at all, just average. Honestly if you just take the last 10 blocks we found and average out the times its about 10hrs per block which puts us well within our performance range for given hash rate which fluctuates quite alot due to people joining in and dropping out for whatever reason. Ive seen us go from 14 to 8 then back to 14 in one day and however long we stay at a current hash rate affects our prediction of when we should hit. But i assure you it all evens out and adds up. a round may go long then have some really short ones to balance it out. Now i think its bad form to talk about what goes on in other pools that your not apart of but i can say in this pool the shares that i do work on i actually get paid my fair share for as if i mined it solo. And there's no fee and my very first share counts as much as my last share and i get to track everything in a nice neat website so it was a no brainer to mine here instead of solo vs other pools. The other pools have a large Hash rate so it looks attractive to new comers trying to make coins fast but splitting the shares with a larger number PLUS fees you make less, just add it up. We really just need some guys to stick it out for about a week and you'll see what im saying and why im here solely for this pool.  And id like to apologize to Yrral. My post wasnt aimed at you. I know i led off commenting back at you but i was speaking in general, so please accept my apology.

ROTFL man, this is awesome. I will send you a bitcoin for fidning that myself.

Yeah makes you wonder if they sit around laughing while they think the names up to see what they can get away with.

The only reason why ponzi schemes are banned is because central banks would like their own ponzi scheme (fiat currency) to be the only [ponzi] game in town. I do not see why bitcoin community should be concerned about this at all.

I wouldn't think a public bank would have to take an appeal on an information request all the way to the supreme court.
I'm assuming if it's the government (public) then the records would be public and handed over without a fight.
