 Can someone please explain to a rookie why does it take so long to finish a round?
 The pool hasn't found a block yet. |

 Just hope this marathon run of a block find will be followed by lots of < 1 hour block finds to make up. |

 yep 27hrs now..heh   1 day, 3:06:51 FML SearingI still reckon luck will turn post this block & we will hit 6 to 7 within minute's. 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 |

 A new record! Congratulations! Better to such records no longer had.   Not a record - it's just ~7 times difficulty shares, while we had rounds with close to 12 = 48h round at current diff and pool hashrate |

 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!   |

 I know when this streak of bad luck will end... ...the moment I point my miners to another pool!    |

 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   |

 One has to wonder, just last week, while we had some 12 hour runs, things were chugging pretty good. |

 I do not know what to do. At lease 9 Th. Yesterday, money down the toilet. And now, or wait for a block and throw money on, or spit and go somewhere and something to recapture.   |
