The profit per time should be the same.
You should emphasize that it is the average profit per time that is the same. All else being equal, larger pools have the advantage of less variance.

I have got a question about the mining-speed.
If I have a for example a 2000Mhs-computer (3x6990) and I am connected to a single pool, could it be that I am mining with lower (or faster) speed than on other pools?

At the Moment I am connected to Slushs but I only receive during last weeks about 1 BTC / day. But on Bitcoin-Calculator it shows me, that I should receive about 1.4 BTC/day.
I also mine Namecoins. Could it be that this is slowing me down, or could it be that this pool is finally slower than other pools are?

your speed is your speed as slush said, what will make a difference to your earnings is what different pools do with taking fees, paying out or not TXN with blocks and any bonuses they are offering at the time Smiley

Have i told something else ?

Yes, this:

Quote
The more people the smaller the profit. In a mid- sized pool you earn more but you get paid out less frequent.

This leads to idea that mining on smaller pools is more profitable, which is wrong. The profit per time should be the same. Who care about per-round reward? It's only good feeling that you have bigger part of each block, but it does not affect anything else.

Sorry if I only understand you wrong, my English language skills are sometimes limited Smiley

Bullshit.

In bigger pool you have lower reward PER ROUND, but you have more rounds in time. The reward per day/week should be absolutely the same.

Payout depends on many things. Bigger pool = more blocks solved in time. The more people the smaller the profit (per block... thanks Slush). In a mid- sized pool you earn more but you get paid out less frequent. Try out other pools. Join the darkside (Bitminter  Cheesy Wink)

Teoretically no, if there aren't another issues.

> I only receive during last weeks about 1 BTC / day

Did you counted two DDoS attacks during last two weeks? Also yesterday was pretty crappy day with few long rounds, but it sometimes happen.

> Could it be that this is slowing me down

Definitely not.

My questions:
a) Do you see any connection issues?
b) What's your stale rate?
Edit: c) Which miner do you use? Latest one with LP support, ideally poclbm?

Only those two things actually matter. The rest is just a luck.

ad c) Some versions of phoenix are working really weird on some connections. For example latest phoenix has something like 40% of stale on one of my miner, without any obvious reason. But poclbm is rock solid everywhere and additionally it (correctly) supports NTime rolling, which is pretty nice feature for optimizing network communication.
