So, how do I see my balance? I tested your pool a few hours with a GPU so I could expect a few bitcents coming my way sometime in the future? Or are those lost until I've racked up over 1BTC?

Payouts occur when your balance reaches 1 BTC, or you haven't mined for a week, whichever is sooner.

One last question/concern... Eligius doesn't pay until a "balance" goes over 1btc, and then it pays once the block is solved right? So my question/concern is, if my balance keeps going down because I'm not generating as many shares as others, even if the block gets solved faster, I will never get paid? It's been about 5-7 hours now, and i've watched my balance bounce between 0.370 and 0.379, but for every step up, its like two steps down, as im now at 0.365. At this rate, its not even the decrease thats bothering me, so much as the fact that i will never hit 1btc at this rate/as more users with better rigs join because my 78Mh/s just can't generate enough shares to net an increase in balance.

If you get 0.50 BTC from the pool twice a day, it adds up to 1 BTC. If you get 0.25 BTC from the pool four times a day, it also adds up to 1 BTC in the same time period. So no matter how your earnings-per-block change, the blocks-per-day should also be changing to make it come out the same in the end.

[The balance] will be paid out when it reaches 1 BTC or after 1 week of not mining on the pool.

How about changing this to the balance will be paid out when it reaches 1 BTC or when nothing has been paid for one week, whichever comes first? For some of us with CPU miners it will take ages to reach 1 BTC, and getting paid at least once per week will be encouraging.

As soon as message signing becomes standardized, I hope to allow changing the minimum payout on a per-address basis.

So there seem to be two different things:

Amount if Bitcoins that I have earned and will be sent to my Bitcoin adress some day. (This Amount does not change)
An expected value that will be added to this amount when the next Block is solved.

How can I find these two numbers?

http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/pool/blocks/latest.json includes the first.
http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/pool/balances.json is the total combination.

However, note that the block json files do not consider manual payouts (such as I had to do because of a bug about a week ago).
