That said the bitcoin block find method does not seem fare, highest pool hashrate win the majority. Why can they not make a method that selects pools at random to evenly distribute the blocks between pools, no matter the hash-rates?   

Proof of work is bitcoin's greatest strength and its greatest Achilles heel. There is no fair way to do what you ask. Even a completely redesigned proof mechanism that attempts to do what you ask would be exploitable. This has been debated to death since its inception by much smarter people than me.

well, as long as I can make a small profit and even if i go negative - as long as its not extreme negative - each month, I will keep on going. I quit mining back in '11 and I kick myself every day for that. I wont be quitting this go around

I may even dump all my hash either here or at kano after the first until halving. we shall see.

Ok,
So in renting a few ph/s.
Should I rent a large >50 ph/s for a few hours hours
or
Rent <25 ph/s for 12+ hrs?

Whats the better route?

It makes no difference to your chance of finding a block if you do both during the same difficulty period. However, you get to watch and hope for longer with the lower hashrate

Basically  when we did big team rentals we had 5btc and blocks were 25 coins

we tried to get close to correct $ per th rental   and if you are close enough to that  5 btc is

5/25 or a 1 in 5 shot at a block.  10 of us would put in .5 coins   we once hit 2 blocks in 90 minutes and turned 5 coins into 50.  but that was a long time ago.

if you  get a rental at 0.0000189 a th  you are close to the correct rate.

so 0.189 btc  which is more then 1500 usd  gives you about .189/12.5 shot to hit it.  that  is about 1/66 shot  if you spend that much.

It is why this pool struggles most of us do not want to drop  1500usd on a 66 to 1 shot

I am swinging  away here with a 2 board s9 see below:

Definitely down to do something similar.
Maybe 12 people put in 0.1 or something like that.
I dont have a problem setting something like this up.
At that rate, we can rent about 50 phs for a little over 11 hours of mining.
I have done many previous solo runs with Nicehash, but open to whomever.
LMK if anyone is interested.

"bestshare": 1,715,316,112,862.546,

and on the 20+ PH rentals have been:

"bestshare": 43,605,007,976.6256,
