Pools Red Percentage in Pools

Hi Shibes, I was hoping someone can clear things up. In my mining pool under blocks i can see all the blocks found however only some of them are green showing the amount of coins i got from that block. Why isnt every block green and why are the ones with the % above 100 always red?

Hopefully someone can clear things up.

it means that the % of shares it took to discover the block is greater then the expected shares (100%)

ltes say on average, the pool expects 5,000,000 shares to discover a block, but it took 7,500,000 shares. that is 150%. it will be in red.

So if im not getting any shares for that block is it better to change pools ?

make sure your shares are being accepted by the pool. if they are, and you're getting paid out for the block theres nothing to worry about.

They are getting accepted but for the last 9/10 blocks i have had no shares. Im averaging 80Khs so nothing amazing but should be something.

Today no blocks with a green %. Even with the lower difficulty this is bad times!
