People get bored answering a question over and over and every new miner over the forums has to ask something that countless numbers of people already asked before him. It usually leas to answers that might seem offensive to you, but I don't believe they are meant to.

As for the graph - it's a nice thingy, but you should ignore it, and stick to the numbers. There are better looking pools, but we are mining here for the profit and despite all the accusations and so many people trying to imply something else, the pool has top profitability (or people wouldn't stick here, after all).

IMO if you have NVIDIA - you can mine equihash (probably a bit better in terms of power usage, at least on my setups), blake2s or lyra2v2, and ignore all the hopping. The reason I'd not hop around is because people do it, then the pool they left starts to report higher earnings, they hop back, and in some way it disrupts the constant flow, instead the hash power is swinging around and you lose time between miner activations. it's not "per hour", but if you want better overview, you can jump on the front page, click on any algo and see the last hour/24h earnings, yours would be between these, and if you hop instantly, it might be hearly the per hour number when there is profitable currency being mined. I look there from time to time, but I avoid jumping the moment something shows a good hour of lucky mining. Take skein for example, it might look bad at 0.0039 or so, but that's what the pool reports, in reality you might be mining at 0.0048 and you'd be happy doing so. Now if it sticks at 0.003n - you should probably switch over elsewhere.

Of course, everyone has an opinion, so take my advice with a grain of salt. But in any case - ignore the graph and look at your daily earnings AND the leftover in unpaid balance.

I completely understand the attrition of answering the same questions, but silence is rarely a good answer.  FAQ's that you can direct people too will often alleviate that need.  As I said my questions aren't just because I want things to be maximized for me, but also because people are insinuating a potential problem with the pool itself.  I've stuck around because I believe that the pool is likely profitable, but I'm not the type to just sit and let things roll when things look strange.  Things are moving far too quick in the cryptoworld to let some things go unnoticed.  I appreciate your insight and will maybe cut down the number of algos that I'm monitoring.  You're likely right that I'm losing more time in the switching than I realize.  I just wish there was better information readily available to do the comparisons.

I apologize if I seemed like I wanted you to just hand me answers.  Sometimes I feel like it is easier to ask someone in the know that might have the answer immediately available rather than digging through pages and pages of forums posts for an answer that may or may not be there.  The difference is I'm okay if someone tells me that they don't know and I don't judge them for it.  Seems like most people aren't willing to admit when they don't know something these days.  I work in IT support and I'm curious by nature so I'm always trying to find the answers to things I don't know or understand.
