Wow the ROI because of fees are making my % to ROI go negative instead of positive. two days ago I was at 9.96 and now today I am back to 9.74 %. I am in the highest hash rate pool with 0 fees I shouldn't be hitting negative ROI LOL

Except, being part of the high hash rate pool isn't necessarily the best strategy.  There is no such thing as 0 fees in this game because you always have your daily maintenance and utilities.  Often, joining the highest hash rate pool means that when that pool does find a block, it's being distributed among a larger group of people who combined have a larger percentage of hash power than you.  So sometimes, by joining a smaller pool, you might not find as many blocks; however, when you do find one, it'll likely result in you getting a larger slice of the pie...

And make sure to take as much advantage of the Faucet as possible, too.



But just like RL, all you're doing is altering variance. The end result is the same over time, regardless of the pool (as long as the % fees are the same).
