...You are, however, arguing with Kano which will get you banned or jumped on by half the community. Just a heads up.
Initially, I wasn't going to respond to that part, but.... It leads me to ask, "If two grown men on a site can't have a rational conversation (heated or otherwise) without one one of them getting banned (or uninvolved 3rd parties 'jumping on' one of them), should a grown man care if he gets banned from such a site?" Now, that's not to say I want to be banned; just that all ongoing conversations are 2-way exchanges and I have better things to worry about than if random strangers get butthurt over random comments on the interweb.

On to something that actually matters to me...
I have a question that I'm not sure if goes here or in ckpool/proxy, but here goes:
Firstly, I'm aware that "best share" doesn't really "matter" (especially so soon after reboots); however, I despise synchronization issues.
That being said: I'm running all machines through ckproxy. I have a 28,181,771(.733868394) best share reported by the site. I have a 76,532,480 report from machine 1 I have a 42,359,439 report from machine 3 I have a 37,693,724 report from machine 8
Any idea why the mis-match?
If your "machines" are ASIC's with custom versions of CGMiner then they may have broke a portion of the code that reports the best share. That's the explanation I've seen when others have asked that anyway. Just a WAG, Sam

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

No more custom than any other S7 or S9

By "custom" he meant the antpoo fork of cgminer, which is notorious for incorrectly reporting the best share, among other things.

However, converting that to 1 in Xyears is incorrect.
Then why do you do it in your calculator? Your Average Time per Block: 1768days 19hr 43min 37sec Simply coz it caters for people with enough hash rate to get a valid number there also. I guess if you enter a small hash rate I could ban you from seeing that number if you thought that was appropriate ... ... ... ... ... However, no one has ever donated a single satoshi to that web site in the years it's been there, so I only change it when I feel like it, not when people complain about it trying to cover their mistakes ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) I guess it would help if you actually bothered to look what's there also ... Scroll down and it allows you to estimate the diff change and thus get a BTC estimate based on your choice of diff changing. Yep, caters for all sorts of people to get estimates ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

More out of nostalgia than anything else, I broke out my old mining kit (Raspberry Pi and some hubs) and installed a trio of Block Erupters on it. I've got them pointed at the pool now. I figure I have about as much chance of hitting a block with a whopping 1GH/s as I do at winning the gazillion-dollar lottery, but hey, either way it's a dream. ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) It's not that hard to follow along... Kano made a page on the interweb and titled it "Pool BTC Calculator" (he referred to that page [and presumably including the coinciding page titled "POT Share Calculator"] as a "site").

So who knows. ![Lips sealed](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/lipsrsealed.gif) Best share stats are reset upon a restart of the server ... your miner can report 1 Trillions Best Share value, and after the reboot you'll only see the best share since the restart. Otherwise, I never saw my best share not matching the one from the stats.

Because Kano likes to be a pseudo-intellectual. In his mind: Chance of you finding a block in one day: 1 in 1,929.6 is, somehow, magically different than Your Average Time per Block: 1929days 14hr 58min 29sec[1] He just can't grasp that saying "1 in 1,929.6" and "average of ~5.3 years" (based on 5.5TH/s) are the exact same thing. Basically if you're not a sycophant, you're wrong even if you agree. [1] 1929days 14hr 58min 29sec = ~5.3 years
