Thanks, I see my balance was paid out.

I tried the other two pools listed music coin and unfortunately their hash rate isn't enough to make it profitable for me to mine there.

Its like the chicken and egg problem, there are other pools, but how to get miners to come if they won't make a decent income.

With the recent pumping of just about every coin, the profitibility of just about every ethash coin has plummeted as so many new miners are joining in the feeding frenzy.

I found the sample problem mining eth and etc, hash power is concentrated in a few pools, you just don't stand a chance making much on the smaller pools. We all paid dearly for our hardware and ongoing electricy and the constant checking for down rigs etc that we can't afford to miss days of making hardly anything.

Those big pools are so over crowded, the payouts are getting lower and lower, nowhere near what whattomine says.
