I agree though that it is difficult to know what the most profitable method for mining is, especially on auto-exchanging pools
It's very easy to know, just few numbers and formulas. Which fit everywhere except zpool

Regarding zpool, I suspect, as I've mentioned already, it mines NOT user-specified coins, but some other suitable for pool. Afterwards there comes massive exchange. 10-25% loss each payout, already calculated. That's why MAC-MAC exchange, that's why payouts are scheduled.
I guess. But almost sure

And I'd advice everybody to click Total paid number (blue) to get payouts history window. If there're payouts with '...' instead of transaction number, you are pissed off, too

I've got 8 for today including two cleared (!) without refund (!!!). Post
