Why is it that when I mine Keccak or SHA-3. that the readings I get using my GTX1080ti is false. I plus this pool passes the 1GH threshold but tells me I earning ALOT but not giving the estimate. Can someone please shed some light on this for me please?!

Can you give us some more information here?  Can you run the diagnostics and post the results?

I am South African so our currency is ZAR and for some reason it says the profit is R4500 per day ($361)?!

As you see the coin is unspecified, suggestions?

Screw it, I'm scraping the pool. Its inaccurate and wasting my electricity. For future readers, avoid mining Keccak unspecified. Its profits per day are wrong on A/M and nobody seems to care.

You are running a too old version of Awesome Miner. Zpool changed their reporting of SHA-3 (Keccak) a number of weeks ago, and later versions of Awesome Miner adjusted to that. Please use a later version of Awesome Miner and the profit figures will look normal again.
