The only thing we can do is stick it out.
Honestly I like this methodology or pps the best.

The other pools and the way they divvy out the shares can be very cruel.  Think of this scenario.  You have been crunching this one for 60 hours, then your internet goes out for an hour or power failure, or your system goes down for some reason.  you bring it back up to find that during that hour down time the hash was solved, but since you were gone for more than what is it 15 minutes?  You are considered a 'hopper' and got nothing for those 60 hours of work you put in.  This is the reason I choose PPS, and now, this method of mining.  Ive been burnt many times.
