Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

Last block on 2013-07-15 17:27 ! WTF ??!! Now is 2013-07-16 11:20 !
We get the payment for the missing blocks???
I have seen blocks under 1 min longest block I can remember was 22 or 23 hours. our pool's hash rate should earn 6 blocks a day or 1 every 4 hours. https://bitclockers.com/calc put in 8,200,000 for hash. put in 26,160,000 for difficulty. you get 157 coins a day or about a block every 4 hours

+1 I have never seen such bad luck before Your current round is at 135m shares as of this post. That is only ~5 times current difficulty. Most pools (BitMinter included I bet) have had *at least* one block that was 10x difficulty. The fact that BitMinter has solved a few NMC blocks in that time is a good sign that everything is probably still in working order.

Most pools (BitMinter included I bet) have had *at least* one block that was 10x difficulty. It is worth asking though. The fact after the maintenance we did not find a single block exists. Shit happen and it may be related. Let us hope that Doc will check it asap. No matter of what i am sticking to the pool. If there was a bug hitting us we will loose a day or two of profits. I can leave with it.

On the 14th we had a 7 min and a 35 min block. Maybe this is just to make us pay for those  And I know that isn't really how this works, but it helps me to justify it that way

Bad mojo don't talk that way. Best would be we get a block in about 10 minutes from this post. Then pop 2 more quick blocks.

We get the payment for the missing blocks???
There are no missing blocks. Just like there are no "extra" blocks when we have lucky short rounds. Bitcoin mining is like a lottery. Sometimes you find blocks quickly with only a few hashes (lottery tickets) and sometimes it takes many hashes. Luckily we found a couple quick blocks after that 26 hour block, which helps even out the bad luck we just had. If the variance makes you uneasy then you can mine in a PPS pool instead. You'll have high fees, no income from transaction fees, no namecoin income. In short, you will lose a lot of money. But you won't have any variance at all. The same (very low) payouts every day.

That's the thing... all miners occasionally lose out due to bad luck, one way or another. If that didn't happen, then you're also not benefiting from good luck--or else the pool would go bankrupt So really, there's no point in trying to avoid it. I'd rather see the downturns all laid out in a direct correlation (payment = % of block) rather than hidden behind extra fees (and not really knowing how much I'm really losing.) I'm sticking with Bitminter; I find the payouts to be quite fair.

Bitcoin is the ultimate freedom test. It tells you who is giving lip service and who genuinely believes in it.
... ... In the future, books that summarize the history of money will have a line that says, “and then came bitcoin.” It is the economic singularity. And we are living in it now. - Ryan Dickherber... ... ATTENTION BFL MINING NEWBS: Just got your Jalapenos in? Wondering how to get the most value for the least hassle? Give BitMinter a try! It's a smaller pool with a fair & low-fee payment method, lots of statistical feedback, and it's easier than EasyMiner! (Yes, we want your hashing power, but seriously, it IS the easiest pool to use! Sign up in seconds to try it!)... ... The idea that deflation causes hoarding (to any problematic degree) is a lie used to justify theft of value from your savings.
