Past few Days I have been experiencing intermittent outages of both the BurstMining.club Pool and the pool status page
Does anyone know what is going on?

RE: What am I doing wrong? - fine tuning a plot / mining setupposted in Mining & Plotting
This has been crazy helpful thanks all! My last 2 thoughts for the night I promise
Is there a live chat / IRC for the community that is active? (I found burst on freenode but no one is alive there)
~Reward (approximate reward) for this one particular block, what should I expect to earn? I'm 5th, so is that an estimate i would get 24 burst IF our pool mined the block? or is it some fraction of that 24 burst because I'm not the top dog?

@jervis @haitch Thanks for the replies! and that is good to know, were only potentially seeing the tip of the iceberg because of multiple machines to one user ratio
Follow-up questions:
Does it pay to "optimize" plots?
is there a pool which is better for miners of a certain size?
I attempted to do some creative plotting here spreading out the start nonces, is that a thing?SOOO much I don't understand, sorry for the overwhelming wall of text hah!

What am I doing wrong? - fine tuning a plot / mining setupposted in Mining & Plotting
First and foremost, I am a n00b just getting started in the community, but loving every minute of it so far. Thanks for having me and thanks for the replies in advance!
I'm a software engineer with some dev ops experience. I just finished setup for a headless mining rig running 10TB of plots, mining with dpreyls CPP tools on linux. All in all the bar to entry was much lower than I expected. BUT...
Looking at the recent blocks forged I am noticing some trends:
- There seems to be a few miners with "pool share" ratios disproportionate to what I expect. Let's take a look at one example, him in green here, me in pink:
(Looking at this image, he has ~3x my capacity, but ~17x my pool share?)
- He also consistently is showing up on the top miners list, disproportionately to what I would expect.
What am I doing wrong here? Looking at the results I can only draw conclusions that I am making an error somewhere.
A sample of my plots:
