I don't know the zcash protocol very well, i'm more used to mining ether coins, but, is anyone else finding it a bit odd that coinsforall.io pool has not found a block in the last 4+ hours? We were averaging a bit more than 1 block per hour before.
I realize that finding blocks is also a matter of luck etc etc. But with our hashing power IMO it should normalize block discovery time a bit.
Did any major new pool enter the scene? To the more experienced miners, what is your opinion?
Probably, network rate is increasing, difficulty too. Our [218941.589 sols/s] is too low for constant rates... We will see suck "hickups" often.
Probably it was a momentary hickup and maybe we shall find more blocks in the coming hours. But by my very rude calculations considering a network total of 5645173 sols/s and average block time of 165.25s, our 217905 sols/s should be getting one block every ~71min on average. We do represent less than 4% of total mining power, wich might explain this, but on longer term I think we should aproach that kind of average.
