I understand this already but my point is being missed. When looking at the shifts, the reward stated was about 0.086. When looking at the payment section, the reward was 10% this amount. I had mined for about 10 days. I hadn't mined since the start of the block but that should be irrelevant because the payout method doesn't base anything on time but rather shares submitted. Has my reward gone missing? Why is there a major difference in the stated reward and the actual payout. Am i not understanding something here? Can someone please actually just explain it instead of telling to the read links that I have already read or copy and pasting something from kanos site?

From what i understand, I had been mining for about 10 days when the block was found but if its a ramp, shouldn't the yield but proportional to the time spent on the ramp. I received 10% of my shares. Does this mean kano stole 90% of my hashing power's yield? 0.08 btc is not an insignificant amount and this is 10 days of mining that i could have been getting paid elsewhere to do. Also, although it has a ramp down, there is no point in that because if you leave the pool, why would you earn anything if you didn't hash anything. This concept on the surface only seems to be a deterrent for people to bounce back and forth between pools but is ultimately just a costly deterrent for the typical user. A lot can be earned in 13 days and I spend a lot on electricity so this ultimately cost me a lot of my profitability because now, a good portion of time must be spent to make up for the lost resources in the days past that were spent on not earning anything while wasting electricity.
