Cheers. I had already applied to Foundry while mining on Ocean, so I switched to them mid month. Getting paid every 24 hours is the definitely way to go for me.

The main reason I decided to try Ocean Pool was because I liked the idea of transparency with payouts (i.e getting paid directly when each block is found).
Also the 0% fee and promotional payout helped too. I didn't start until just before the first block on the 1st. I think it was like a few hours before too. And I had to stop on the 14th so I could mine enough to pay my electric bill. I'll still get paid something on the next block, but that obviously is diluting as the more days pass. I will probably end up losing maybe a few days to a week of income, hard to tell at this point. But yeh, I'm running a business here, so I probably should have stayed with one of the bigger pools.

Does luck generally average out over time with smaller pools? Ocean found 2 blocks pretty fast, but looks like the third one is averaging out. Sitting at 2.57 times expected currently. Generally what would be a worse case between blocks? I’m pretty new to mining just wondering how bad could it get? It’s difficult hanging around when you have the electric bill to pay.
