Well the blockchain says it was solved in 10 seconds (unless I'm mistaken.) The pool stats say 20 seconds though.

I got lucky too, doubled my normal payout because my miners got in quick.
no, it's normal ... me, too = double paid than normal.

I'm mining forever. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Regardless of profit. In a twisted kind of way, mining at a level that is less than or equal to the cost of electricity is essentially using the electric company to convert fiat into Bitcoin. You get untraceable Bitcoin for fiat, which is definitely not a bad thing.* *for various definitions of "bad".

Why? It is very well possible that the price of ASICs will go down and price of BTC will go up, and you can for some time profit even when you only own very small part of the overall hashrate.

On one hand, it's over $100 for 2 tix, parking and food/drink to go down to Comerica's Park for a Tigers' game. For a similar amount, one could have 6-12 months worth of mining at that cost depending on one's hashing.

Big whoop... ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) The network will adjust and the other blocks will be found slower.

20 seconds? I've seen blocks a few seconds apart in the past.

20 seconds? I've seen blocks a few seconds apart in the past.
Every block gets solved in 20 seconds. Think I am wrong? You don't understand math. For each block, go to a moment in time 20 seconds prior to its solution. At that moment, the network has accomplished zero progress on the impending solution. However, in the coming 20 seconds - it finds a solution. A solution doesn't get easier as time passes doesn't depend upon. The network doesn't advance and close in on a solution as the clock ticks. The same error in statistics is made for those people who think that 10 rolls of a die without getting a '6' increases the chance that a '6' will come next. It doesn't. The chance of rolling a '6' is the same whether or not 10 non-'6's occurred previously. The state of the miners 20 seconds prior to a solution is identical to the state of miners which have been working for one hour. Thus, the probability that a solution will come in 20 seconds is identical for the case where a solution was just found, and for when the miners have been working a long time. Miners having been working a long time do not increase the probability that a solution will come in the next 20 seconds. Thus, every block was solved in 20 seconds - it is just 20 seconds prior to the moment the solution came. Idiots - find it incredible that a block was solved in 20 seconds - they all are.

I understand that there is no progress on the proof of work... That doesn't change the fact that sometimes there is 1 minute between blocks and sometimes there is 1 hour between blocks... We weren't talking about how long it took the device to find the solution which happened to be the correct one for the next block. We were talking about the length of time between blocks.

Thus, every block was solved in 20 seconds - it is just 20 seconds prior to the moment the solution came. Idiots - find it incredible that a block was solved in 20 seconds - they all are. So according to your logic a block was actually in 0 seconds. However, we're not here to explore meanings of used terminology, we're here to discuss the small amount of time between 2 blocks being found.
