When I ping miningpoolhub europe server I get the same ping as if I ping the us-east.lyra2z server. Suprnovas ping is way lower so I'm thinking this could make the difference in earnings. But suprnova is always dead so miningpoolhub is the only option. We would relally need a better pool.
try
http://www.zpool.ca/stratum+tcp://mine.zpool.ca:4553 -u btcAddr
name HashRate
xzc.suprnova.cc 1.43 MH/s
zcoin.miningpoolhub.com 45.64 MH/s
zPool.ca 36.55 MH/s
I think your numbers are wrong. This is what they look like. I'm not aware if there are any other active pools:
name HashRate
xzc.suprnova.cc 1360 MH/s
zcoin.miningpoolhub.com 45640 MH/s
zPool.ca 36 MH/s
looks like this - zcoin.miningpoolhub.com is a monopolist at the moment, allows himself to take a large commission (this is my personal opinion). While xzc.suprnova.cc was still alive - showed a real hashrate. now only zpool.ca shows a real hashrate. but I do not understand why people do not switch to using this pool
