I really like your site, neat idea behind it.  I have seen others that focus on amount of blocks solved.  But to go on the side of how much the miner would make is a interesting perspective.

I hope you keep the site going.  This might cause me to try a different pool.

the only way this site would do you any good is if you had a time machine and you could go back in time and pick the most luckiest pool.

these graphs dont tell you anything useful as far as what one would be the best pool tomorrow.

Once again I'd like to point out that the idea of this experiment is NOT to get the best pool or to say which pool has the best payout. The main idea is to show what kind of payments miner can expect and how often these payments arrive in miners pocket. And also to get an insight about how close to ideal theoretical payouts we can get. Regarding switching pools - one thing that is already showing up is that switching pools can lead to serious profit loss, especially if one is switching between PPLNS pools.
