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.
