Now I will be disappointed if it doesn't go for longer than 24 hours lol
Think about the climax when we hit!

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the
subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The
subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:)

Although it does make you wonder if larger pools like ghash.io are the answer where if you run into a bad block its a maximum of 3-4 hours worst case. However from experience I don't seem to earn as much on those pools as slush's.

Actually, if I recall right, we (slush) had a 29+ hour block back when the difficulty was around 15b

About the record, I was joking of course. Just from these rounds want to go to another pool. But our pool of the best! So I'm staying!

Yes i guess you'r right Slush has an average of 20% as compared to other pools taking into account the last three days, so maybe moving on would be very wise

Would be good to cover half the cost of the miners! If this luck continues that is doubtful... Not like the good old days anymore
