>Someone with very large hashrates gets almost all the coins and making mining unprofitable for others.
that's life! LOL
there guys are getting plenty of block - I mined here all day long yesterday
https://startcoinpool.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocksthe only problem in this pool is that is does not appear to be able to handle a single large miner - I have one that's 85MH and it kept getting kicked off, but my smaller miners worked fine all day long.
a suggestion - before you join any pool take a look and see how many blocks they've found in the last hour and the last 24 hours. If they're batting 0 in the last hours and have only found a few in the last 24 hours don't waste your time. If you're the only person in the pool and you're a small miner - don't waste your time.
find a pool that is finding blocks!
their estimates ARE ONLY VALID IF THEY'VE FOUND BLOCKS. In addition don't base your earning estimates on the current payout in coins/mh - you have to take a look at the current round to see how efficient that round is. If the current round is at 300% then the current estimate is three times what you'd normally get. Take a close look at the stats and familiarize yourself with the details. It will save you a ton of wasted time. Nothing worse than to mine for an hour in a pool and seeing no transactions.
however with the price drop of START it's not a good idea to mine start today - I'd mine 888 (Octocoin) or Hobonickels

http://hbn.cryptotroll.com/index.php?page=statistics&action=pool1 mh will get you almost $1/day on either of these coins right now.
there's a sketchy future to this coin with the huge premine anyway.
