I understand the skepticism and appreciate the fact you have given me the opportunity to respond to your concerns. Based on my own experience, mining with one bigger pool and one smaller pool helps with earnings as you not as likely to be trapped following each pool's mining patterns. Also, based on my testing with BlazePool and Zergpool, the Build Bigger Shares option helps to get more earnings with coins that are slower to payout, such as Raven. Of course I cannot guarantee it will work for everyone due to differences in rigs plus luck and the whims of the cryptomarkets.
But here are my results from the last 24 hours on Blaze with up to 9 GPUs (mostly 1080s - but two aren't mining full time since they turn my home office into an oven during the day):

Keep in mind, as I mentioned before, I spread my mining work thin across a few pools to increase my test coverage of the software, so I am not mining solely on Blazepool.
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions, it is much appreciated.
I'm going with Blazepool and Blockmasters with "build larger shares" on both and "use mine coin" on Blockmasters. I'm no using the "actual price instead of estimates" yet, but we'll run with this for a day or so and see what it is like tomorrow. Hopefully things look better. I really want to use your program as you are a very responsive dev and seem to be genuinely interested in helping. Thank you.
