Curious as to why SHA payouts have dipped so low. Showing estimates well north of .08 but actuals well below that (.073 last 24 hours is pretty low, and substantially less than straight BTC mining ). Guessing it may be poor Alt performance relative to BTC in this crazy/shitty market.
Thanks
Your assessment is pretty spot on, nearly every cryptocurrency has had below average market performance this week as a result of the Mt. Gox / FUD situations. There has been a bit of rebound today, and from an upcoming economics standpoint things look decent. From our end, we see that roughly 30% of the sha coins that we offer mine at a more profitable rate than BTC currently (as of this moment).
A lot of the exchange rates on alts depend on how many people are buying to sustain price levels of equivalency. In the current situation where BTC has dropped so much, buyers seem to be waiting for the waters to calm before getting on board again. The weekend is usually a historical time for that, so I'm hopeful personally. On top of that, we are still looking for more options to swap in and help out profitability when/where it makes sense.
On a side note, we have something in mind that might be a decent fix for the 2Pacs you had connected before, but we want to apply that on our next full maintenance. Once we have tested our next version and have a decent amount of confidence in its integrity, we'll announce that date.
