I have some bad news for MrPlus... the profitability averaging function which attempts to blend 24h and instantaneous profitability does not appear to confer any advantage over NiceHash and, indeed, performs about 25% worse than it.

The predicted per-day earnings displayed right before the list of algos is quite accurate after reaching 100% trust level - it says I will make about 0.666 mBTC per day and that is, indeed, what I have been making the last 3 days (more or less). If I take the average per-day earnings of the top 6 algos, however, I should be making 0.865 mBTC, which is similar to what NiceHash makes per day on this rig.

Here's a recent capture of the relevant data as an example:

Code:
Trust Level                      100% [ 00 days 12:31 ]
Average BTC/H                    BTC = 0.00002775 | mBTC = 0.028
Average BTC/D                    BTC = 0.00066595 | mBTC = 0.666
Estimated Pay Date               2/27/2018 12:00:32 AM > 0.0025 BTC

Again, this has been consistent for several days now, using either 1.3.1 or 1.3.2 (which differ only in the Neoscrypt miner, AFAIK). I should also note that NemosMiner 2.4.2 - which only looks at instantaneous profitability - did outperform NiceHash by about 10%, but I am going to test that again just to make sure.

I'm not sure how you can make these claims.  To fully test your theory you would need identical rigs, one mining nicehash, the other nplusminer during the same period.
