Hi,
I've been pretty new to bitcoin mining. I've joined bitcoinpool.com and have mined during two blocks that didn't take very long to get payed a little.
So now I've been mining for 10 days and it seems that the current block still isn't finished, the round time is over 10 days! So I have a couple of questions:
* Is there any way to know when (approximately) the current round will be over?
* If the round is over after the payments go down with 50% to 25BTC, does that mean they will pay me out 50% of what I mined thus far?
Just some things that I hope someone reading this can clear up for me. THX
*EDIT* The round has completed shortly after I posted this. The answers still interest me... thanks.
