here are my results from mining dutch to 12 hours.

I've been using multi switch my-groestl only 0.00023948

Left the pool again. The profitability indicator at the front and rear is not correct.

The last two days has been the worst I have ever seen. I am considering switching up if it doesn't improve myself. I believe a main money maker ALQO has been hit hard recently and difficulty has sky rocketed. I also noticed just some terrible luck I found almost none of the easy blocks throughout the day, I knew of the risks of a luck based pool and it has been good up until the last few days. I believe difficulty on most the coins has risen and it may only get worse. I give it a few more days to improve, let's all hope for the new algos soon so we can spread out the miners a bit more.

Yeah Ive noticed the same. Everything is way down the last couple days. Ive never seen nicehash pay out only .002 btc for quark before.

On your last point, does anyone have an idea when those algos might be release? I was thinking maybe around the same time the next batch ships which i think was end of feb? Also makes sense with the Chinese New Year ending

After some research I can see the pool is still in line with other pools so not as disappointing day as I originally thought. I was at 20 a day and thought nicehash was still at 30. Anyway what I figured out is this is directly related to Alqo (quark), which is a major coin for Baikal miners. In the last few weeks they have reduced the block reward from 112 to 100 to the current 87.5 and doubled the difficulty. What you are seeing now is the ripple affect being felt across all pools. It even affects DGB because more people are mining that to keep up their profits, which in turn increases the difficulty but luckily they haven't reduced the rewards yet on DGB. I incorporated skein just last night and it has helped quite a bit in the short time i've been using it. So all in all it's still in line with other pools but there's a lot of back end changes affecting everything right now so it's very uncertain what you will get as things seem to change often due to over crowding.

Compounding the issue is that the price of ALQO has gone down quite a bit at the same time. I saw it peak over $3.00 a coin and it's now back to $0.70 which is lower than it was when I decided to start mining it with my older Baikal mini's instead of DGB. It's now starting to make sense to get those guys back to doing DGB too. So it's not just X10s making the switch.
