The whole FTC thing seems like a scam because no one is paying out the amount necessary to make it more profitable than mining LTC. Yeah, when you go calculate how much you should get, it is high, but the pools are only paying you about 1/3 to 1/2 that.

Are you in pplns pool? most have n = 100000

What does that mean? I have to wait until I get 100,000 shares in order to get the proper returns?

Hello bushstar

Please update your pool list

https://hynodeva.com is doing FTC and also doing PPS 

PPS rate of pay current pps sharevalue : 0.0003990836351143

Fee for pool on PPS is reduced to 3%

This is the classic pay per share mode with 3% fee (special offer until May 15th)

Fell free people to send me some FTC for the find Smiley

That payout rate is terrible. You get practically nothing. The rate should be about 4 or more times higher than that.

one more thing to note, as pool hashrate increases, your payout/block will go down. But, you will get paid for more blocks.

OK, so it is approximately 6 hrs till 24 hrs have passed and I am only at 20 FTC. So, I am estimated to be getting 50-60 FTC depending on the difficulty (since it just switched). So I am going to be short about 1/2 the estimate.

Code:
Current Block 	30235
Current Difficulty 82.89790049
Expected Time per Block 0 day(s), 0 hour(s), 1 min, 41 sec
Estimated Network Hashrate 3,497,736 KHash/s (over last 2011 blocks)
Time to Retarget 0 day(s), 0 hour(s), 8 min, 28 sec
Next Difficulty 130.30081562083
Total Coins Mined 6047000


A jump from 82 to 130 mining difficulty in a few min.



And the next retarget in 2 days is going to be 237, shit, looks like FTC is going to be unprofitable in less than 2 weeks at this rate, it's only trading for a fraction of what LTC is going for at the same difficulty.

for PPLNS, you are missing one important piece of info: How often you mine?

if you mine close to 24/7, and still are seeing 1/2, switch pools. If you hop around pools a lot, or mine infrequently, that might be the cause.

I've only been mining for about 12 hrs. I was basing things on the current rate. So you are saying I need to stay on the pool for extended periods to see the actual rate of return?

Read about PPLNS here: http://feathercoin.is-a-geek.com/about

12 hours should see you starting to get the correct amount/block easy.

How much are you seeing per block right now, and how often is a block found at that pool on average?

Looks like every 17 minutes is a new block or new round. I am getting .77 per payout. I was getting as high as .97 per payout but a few hours ago I thought something was wrong and tried to restart, so I guess that hurt me.

Wait... this would actually come out correct. Maybe all the payouts haven't been listed or something. I'll let it run for 24 hrs and see what happens.  Maybe just making a deal about nothing.

I might have stayed at a holiday inn express alst night, but I am still not a psychic.

Any PPS pools?

PPNLS are awful and giving me nowhere near what i should

like, a fucking order of magnitude lower than i should, @ fc.dontmine.me

http://fc.ltcoin.net/
weird, even here i get about 1/2th of what mining calculators say i should get.. (120/day with 2600khash)

nm, just seems to be fluctuations.

Having the same problem. Does anyone know why we are getting half the coins estimated? Even the mining pool estimator has me bringing in twice the coin.
