I am also having low returns lately but It is not that I was always getting good returns before. I was only getting way better returns than my usual since the last week or smth. (always mined on suprnova)
Try this pool if you like:
http://www.ravenminer.com/Some people favor this one over suprnova since it has %0 pool fee. (supr has %1) I'll probably change my pool too.
I've been unhappy with my pool selection since RVNPool closed. Also the rate of earnings has fallen off so much since I started, it feels like I'm not getting my "best" return.
I was at Threeeye - until they closed (I did get paid all that I was due) and tried Ravenminer and Supernova over the past few days.
Using the raven coin calculator
http://ravencalc.xyz/- adjusted for my actual average hash rate:
- Ideally, I should be making about 1,250RVN a day.
- Ravenminer - past day, 1,062
- Suprnova - day before, 1,199
So, while my test is NOT conclusive, (not long enough, too many other variables including luck)
In the long run, I don't think the pool will matter, the payouts will balance out to be the same (ish).
