Guys i have a question and ill be happy if someone answer it.

Right now im mining Bitcore but the block find time is very big ( like 1-2 hours).

So lets say my rigs are mining bitcore and then before the block is found they move to another coin that is more profitable by the program my whole progress is lost with the time mining on Bitcore right ?

Or im missing something.?

You probably won't lose all of your earnings by switching before a block is found, but you'll likely lose some if the time to find the next block takes a lot longer than average and the pool uses "PPLNS" scheme. I wrote a fairly long post about the potential downsides to PPLNS in another thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2898687.msg30133809#msg30133809 which hasn't been commented on so beware of any potential errors on my part.

EDIT - Zpool uses the Proportional payout scheme, not PPLNS, so the above comment is irrelevant.
