I pointed about 20-25 mh/s of my scrypt hash at the pool. I will let it run a day or so and see my stats.
A couple of days won't really show you the true return though to be fair. I was talking in irc on this subject as the pool is a little tricky to get your head around. I have one address that I only hashed to for 1 day and am still getting payouts for (a week later). The address I've been regularly hashing to has been accumulating share and getting increasing payments over time. You don't have to go crazy - just set an amount of hashing and leave it for a week or so. I've even increased the amount on occasion just to give the pool (and, of course, my share) a bit of a boost.
The key is in the "algo-profitability multiplier" part of the equation, and time. It isn't like clevermining et al. where you get paid for X hash contribution on day Y at that day's profit. It's clever. Like everything CLAM
I think all of that is pretty accurate.
And, it is indeed a bit hard for most miners to understand.
The concept itself, I think is a bit easier to understand.
We keep track of how much a miner contributes to the profitability of the pool over the long term.
We do not "get rid of" or "delete" shares.
We accrue them, relative to their difficulty and the profitability of the algorithm at the time.
The only way to lose that percentage, is for other miners to 'dilute' it by continuing to mine after you have stopped.
In practice, it is somewhat similar to p2pool; except the time-frame is not bounded.
Just got another lotto block
. Unfortunately, it was only 0.10000001(the smallest lotto block you can get).
Hey, you never know. More Clams == More Blocks, over time. That 0.1 might contribute in finding the next big lotto block
