Guys I am a noob, but I feel like a was a little scammed mining on H2C. Been on all day, and after like 4-5 hours .26 AUR deposits to my account. After HOURS, I eventually received a measly .26. If that wasnt sketchy, immediately upon the Balance displaying (very low numbers) profitability immediately plummeted from 350+% down to 120%! Wth This appears to be a case of "false profits" and time manipulation. Mining on H2C for Aurora today has been a horribly misleading experience. Very sketchy !!!!
Yes, I found this out with LTC. It all depends on the hashing power of your rig and the pool, because it's probabalistic. If you have a small fraction of the total mining power pointed at a coin, you will only infrequently find a block and get a larger payout. If you contribute to a large pool, then you get a smaller, more regular payout. I tried mining LTC on H2C after mining on litecoinpool.org for many weeks. I was getting very regular payouts on litecoinpool. When I switched to here, hoping to get a reduced pool fee, I wasn't getting anything. At the time, based upon the mining power on the LTC pool on H2C, it was estimating a MONTH to payout. This is a crucial concept to understand when you are pool mining - I learned it the hard way.
I typically switch between single-pool mining (i.e., uncheck the Switching box) and just letting the switch decide. Usually I mine EMC2, LINX, and sometimes DGB. I looked at the markets on cryptopia to figure out the most liquid coins that aren't steadily dropping like flies over the past month.
Hope that's useful.
