Been lurking for awhile (been mining since march)
While the bad/luck good/luck statistics are all find and good i tend to agree with Entropy-uc. while it sucks to lose 200TH even with my limited experience mining i felt much better today when i logged on and didnt see multipool. A week ago i was looking at the solved blocks and thought to myself how the hell is multipool not solving any of these? KOI has the same power and hes solving a bunch. Then i came to the forums and found all this.
I am barely in the top 50 (3.8TH) but even at that investment level i was getting worried last week at how the numbers were working out.
My 2 cents.
BTW the bad gear conversation is very interesting. I have all Antminer S1's oced to 393.75 and they all run +/- 3% of eachother at 200GH. I have not solved a block yet how long should it take with average luck 3.8TH to pick a winner? Just curious.
