Ok a few updates on my side. Since yesterday I took out the backup pool. Yes I do lose connection when coins switch however it's brief..~30 seconds or so. Not a big deal. Since I can monitor my home rig via remote desktop I'm not really worried about the pool being down for a long period of time. It's more problematic during the night. If the pool really goes down..I will lose some time. Anyway
In terms of profitability.. according to litecoin calculator if i mine LTC at current difficulty and at 950kh I will be earning 0.31 coins per day. At an exchange rate of ~ 0.035 BTC/LTC... that comes out to be 0.01085 BTC / day. Take out some conversion/withdrawal fees..and I'll probably be left with 0.01..or maybe 0.009xx. Not to mention the time spent to withdraw coins from a pool, deposit them in xchange website, withdraw BTC.
Note: The LTC difficulty recently increased..so maybe my LTC profit calculations are a little lower..however at the previous difficulty I was mining 0.35 coins/day which is the equivalent of 0.012 BTC. However since we all care about the future...LTC difficulty is only gonna go up. Value..no idea.
Now, I've been mining on hashcows since Sunday (Dec

. However Dec 11-12 I had a failover to LTC so basically for every coin switch i would mine 5 minutes on my backup LTC. here are my results after all fees. NET results:
0.00586563
0.01470448
0.00674348
0.01443159
0.00909768
Total: 0.05084 over a total of 5.5 days. On top of this my backup pool generated: 0.162 LTC (0.005 BTC). not to mention the fact that hashcows and exchange websites had problems over the past few days. So overall I would say hashcows is doing pretty well. So far i get the results im expecting. Sure, payouts are not cosntant on a daily basis..so that's why I suggest you mine for a few days before complaining.
For the time being I'm sticking with hashcows. equal or slightly smaller profits but with less of a headache.
Keep it up guys !
