Carl,
You should give cryptopools a try. With VarDiff and PPS, you get paid for every shares with 0 variance as the pool takes all the risks of long rounds.

Topic: Earning Estimates And Pools - Never Get Anywhere Near Them! (Read 437 times)
Just mine alt coins that actually have some value and do so in stable pools.
Hi all,
was just wondering if everyone seems to suffer the same fate as i do when it comes to mining these Alts.
It doesnt really seem to matter which pool or coin i pick, i never get anywhere near the estimated daily coin tally - infact im lucky if i hit half of what it says!! I dont really understand the whole concept behind the difficulty levels either - even when a coin has very low difficulty the shares total ranges from the ridiculously low to the insanely high - its as if the difficulty is just some arbitary number that means nothing! How is that supposed to work?
I understand luck plays a part in this, but if thats the case then every pool i visit has none of it!
Take the fastcoin pool im currently in:
1hr avg: 180%
24hr avg: 120%
7day avg: 199%
4wk avg: 180%
12month: 170%
This is pretty much the same in almost every pool i visit, and as a result i seem to be consistantly getting peanuts. How can so many pools never hit their targets by such a margin over such a long duration?
The worst thing is, when the pool does come in for a bit of luck and finds a block fast, the only people that benefit are the 2 guys sat at the very top of the hash table raping in 14,000 hash, whilst myself with 1200hash seems to end up with 0% share of the reward because the pool has whacked such a massive difficulty on me that the round is finished before i even got a sniff of submitting a share.
Its really driving me nuts - am i missing something or doing something wrong? Does everyone else actually get anywhere near these suggested daily earnings? I try and stick it out for 24/48 hours but in the end feel i have to constantly try find a better pool because the income is just so low - most noticably this is on low difficulty coins.
Any advice or tactics for maximising coin income would be most welcome, as i feel im just not taking advantage of anything with a low difficulty rating.
thanks!
