Is it just me or has profitability been *woeful* for the last few days?

Something's going on with the pool. My 390 kH/s should produce about 0.01 btc / day if I mine LTC. On multiport I'm getting 0.007 btc - 0.006 btc a day recently. Since we do have LTC on multiport and we do mine LTC, our profitability can't be lower then just mining LTC all day.

Found explains this that we were extremely unlucky. This sounds reasonable, and I'm perfectly fine with having some unlucky days. But this means that some other days should be extremely lucky. If we can get historical data that can show that these extremely lucky day exist too this would put the issue of bad profitability to the rest.

You know, I still think some of the pool's hash is "wasted" when we only go to LTC for a few minutes.  I mean, when the multipool goes to LTC for 10 mins it ends up "wasting" the round shares I've submitted because we rarely (if ever?) find a block in those 10 mins.  Sometimes explained it to me but I think I'm right, it could explain your issue, and others that have been reported.
