Something really odd with the profit calculation goes on sometimes. For example right now in the Miners window it's showing a profit of $7 per day for Tribus but when I view details it shows $73 per day! Other times they almost match. What would cause that? I realize the miner's view uses actual hash rate and the details uses the benchmarked rate, right?
It is correct, these coins are highly volatile, the mining pool makes money on the volatility as do you, so lets say you mine at 73 per day if you have a mining hash rate of 100%, which never happens, and mine Tribis, the pool will sell the tribis you mined once it reaches that mark again, this is what the coin maturity is all about. That 73 bucks a day will only be there for a few minutes, this is why I set my autoswitching to 5 minutes. This might not work well for system that use many many cards, as it needs more system ram for this (or virtual memory). Miner crashes can occur, but the nice thing about Awesome miner is it will restart a miner if it crashes.
