If everyone in the uk switched on their electric kettle at 7-50 pm instead of 8-00 pm, then the sudden demand would shut down the power grid.(it's expected at 8pm but not before). It takes 24 hours to restart all the tripped out nuclear power stations.
Do many people in the UK switch on their electric kettles at 8:00 pm?  It was a traditional event on a Wednesday evening  |

Hmm.. my reward for round #20236 is ten times lower than usual.
If it helps, mine was well within the bounds of what I consider "normal". |

Do many people in the UK switch on their electric kettles at 8:00 pm? It was a traditional event on a Wednesday evening I'm assuming this is just an example of 'British humour', lol. Because if true, that is VERY odd societal 'behavior' (translation - behaviour). |

Anyone else seeing fluctuating rewards ?
My 00:50am and 1:44am (2/10/13 or 10/2/13) were half of what I normally receive :-(
The two round in between these were normal (1:00.29am and 1:01.28am) and the once since.
So I am only moaning about 2 rounds lol

You can always use your hash rate and the current difficulty to determine an average amount of time it should take you to solve a block. There is always the chance that the first value your miner comes up with will solve a block, but that is highly unlikely. When you get a solution sooner than the average calculated time then you got lucky. If it takes longer you were unlucky. The way I understand it, 100% luck means that for the time period in question solutions were found in the expected average amount of time. In the long run our luck should always be at or close to 100%. Sort term variance can skew luck to above or below the expected average. Feel free to correct me if I'm totally wrong. heh.. Chad |
