 GM, I've not mined a block in the last 2 days now. And that's weird because i got a 300% increase in hashing power. 

At least I'm not last.

 You've gotta look at your hashrate as a percentage of the overall hashrate (it's shown at the top). There are some players with a significant percentage of the hashrate, meaning that compared to them your chance of winning is quite low. Also luck plays a factor too, especially over short timeframes. It's exactly the same situation that actual bitcoin miners face! The ones with the best strategy and access to resources/work end up on top 🙂 
 That evil nostr:nprofile1qqsg2n6qz6wjqr23ayggg4q8fffjglurqakx3mzp93h6hty2g5zru8qpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skueqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezuamfdejs3ux3gd has the luck of the Irish. He was hitting like 10 blocks in a row when he was 20k flux lower than me. I was so bitter. 🤣 
 Yeah, it was pretty crazy. You've made up some ground since though 👍🍀 
 Yeah, we'll see how it goes. It ain't over until it's over.
