0.118BTC in one day with 3MH/s!?

TL;DR - Testing profitability pools with 1 card on each in hopes of finding the most profitable of them all!
Hi all,
I'm a small-time miner who's recently discovered profitability pools. Thus far, I've been using Middlecoin, and have had some great days in the past. My biggest (for ~3.2 MHashes) was ~0.118 BTC, and that was sometime in Dec.
Although MiddleCoin has been good to me, the ~4% fees are discouraging. Because of this, I've been searching for someone who's really done some side-by-side testing of the various profitability pools, but so far have only really found opinions, and never any proper tests of identical rigs being split between them for a good chunk of time, at the same time, and tracking the difference.
The profitability pools I've heard of: (please comment and let me know about any I've missed!)
-MiddleCoin
-LTCRabbit
-MultiPool
-UltimateCoinPool
-SwitcherCoin
-HashCows
-HashBros
-WafflePool
-TradeMyBit
-CoinSolver
-CleverMining
-CoinMine
Being that I only have 1 rig and a laptop, I'm going to attempt to test with a single 7950 card on each of 4 different profitability pools.
They are:
Test Name - Pool Name - Bitref address (for your monitoring pleasure, pls no donations to these.
)
ProfitTest0 - UltimateCoinPool - http://bitref.com/1NCAe4j6gxtAiEEJVeyaus7nmfCbE2gPZ6
ProfitTest1 - SwitcherCoin - http://bitref.com/1GQMbYRxSNpG4WFz6BqzB5WqGDfapR4WWd
ProfitTest2 - MultiPool - http://bitref.com/1APTjt8vR3QU7ubLddXVacWBJMqeVGnG7C
ProfitTest3 - MiddleCoin - http://bitref.com/1QEbYHbh8bBvhTGEoNLYnAAWexXpfprSK1
MiddleCoin automatically pays out in BTC, so it was easy enough. The other three however, I needed to create a Cryptsy account for each (requiring an e-mail address for each), and manually configure each supported coin with addresses from Cryptsy into the pools configurations, and setup auto-sell in Cryptsy.
I'll likely have to babysit each of these Cryptsy accounts, and it'll take a few days to start seeing the results in the BTC wallets, but I'll do my best to start them at the same time, stop them at the same time, and push balances out to wallets at the same time.
I should note a few things here:
-I wanted to include Hash Bros, but unfortunately their site was down at the time I was setting all of this up.
-Although the cards are identical, and are OC'd with all of the same settings, there is a bit of a variance -- they generally range from 655-675 KHashes each (with card 0 being the lowest usually)
-For Cryptsy's auto-sell, I chose the 3rd option - 'Sell at 2nd highest sell bid' (highest price).
-I set configurable difficulties in pools to 256
-Auto-withdraw thresholds I did the minimums without incurring additional fees
-I'd love to do more pools, but unfortunately I'm just a lowly 1-rig miner with <2 BTC. Other pools will have to wait, but I'm open to suggestions on which pools people want to see tested.
-I'm working towards a 2nd rig to add to the tests
-I unfortunately can't promise how long I'll test any given pool, but I'll try to give every pool I test a good run before deciding to drop it.
If you like what I'm doing, then please consider donating.
( It'll help me test more pools. )
BTC - 1E6RudZFarBZn34f6bg6jwxhqt44djzbE3
LTC - LaUeyDzDgah6qHRKmCF77dyYMUJrZELkav
Other - PST and I'll provide you with an address for the (hopefully Cryptsy supported) coin of your choosing
I'm also open to suggestions on how I can do this better, or more accurately.
