i think this pretty much says it all
**** Total Unpaid is a combination of your confirmed Balance and your fluctuating total pending. This value will rarely be constant.
you can guesstimate how many coins you should be getting with your hash rate and go from there.. with mine, zpool is a clear winner..
Nobody is questioning fluctuating balances. What we wonder is where 20% go during payout. Riddle me this: If I offer you $10 (that is 10 USD, not $10 worth of pesos) to wash my windows, how much do you expect to get paid? $10 or $8? If I mine 10 coins of something I expect to see 10 and not 8 coins of that something in my wallet, excluding the pool fee. Now if i DO offer you $10 worth of pesos and I DO mine coin X and get paid in BTC I DO expect the balance to fluctuate a
bit.
