it says on calc i should be getting 0.07-0.08 mining ltc, my payout was only 0.026...is that normal?
The payout was less than optimal. In the last 19 hours, we're at 40% LTC luck (4 blocks).
that explains it, i guess ill go directly mine ltc, sorry

be patient.
middlecoin is the most profitable scrypt pool.
I would definitely agree with that. I've tried doing my own profitability mining with CGWatcher and running on different multipools, but this has been by far the easiest and most profitable. h2odysee really takes all the work out out of it. You'll also find that LTC won't be the most profitable at some point and manually trying to figure out what the next, reliable one is, is a PITA having to find, set up the new walllet or pool if not solo mining, and then doing all the exchange hassle. It all goes in waves, and this pool definitely helps smooth it out.
ok yesterday i got 0.074 mining ltc so lets see if i can get close to the same or more mining here
