I've been experiencing some issues with Hashcows over the night. Besides dropping the stratum connection once every 5 minutes, I don't seem to be making ANY coins on a majority of the rounds I'm participating in, even when I am submitting shares. I understand that some of the very, very short rounds might result in me making nothing (even though I'm averaging a share every 10-15 seconds, and the shortest rounds are 2 minutes). But I'm staring at 47 minute DOGE rounds that I would have been mining for the entirety of, and I'm not receiving even a single DOGE coin... What is happening?

Can someone please explain why I'm only making profit on half of the rounds I'm mining for? Again, keep in mind my miner was running at full 295Khash/s for ALL of the above rounds overnight.
That's showing that the pool didn't find any blocks. None of us get paid if the pool doesn't find any blocks.
That makes sense for the shorter rounds but that seems like a completely unfathomable possibility for 40+ minute dogecoin rounds, no?
EDIT: I just read that the pool rolls old shares into new rounds. I guess I should reword: How does the pool decide to cut its losses on a round with no blocks and move on to the next one? Does it only wait for the profitability to switch? Also, are the "rolled" shares rolled into the next round for the same coin? I.E. I have a 40 minute dogecoin round with no blocks, all those dogecoin shares are rolled into the next dogecoin round? Or just the next round?
