Hey all. I've been on this pool a long time, haven't compared numbers in quite a while.
However the recent "let's talk about payout" caught my interest, as people reporting .01/mh or even .015/mh are way outperforming me. Like, up to 2x, that is considerable and a little worrying. I'm averaging something like 0.0075/mh.
So I poked around a little.
Here's two different users, for example:
This guy, let's call him Bob, has a steady 19 mh/s or so, and has been around since Dec 16th-
http://www.middlecoin.com/reports/1ACruk5rrJmGTkP7UyyoqGDLNZTHzkqviY.htmlAnd this dude, Let's call him Frank, has slightly less, maybe 18 average, and just started mining on the 7th-
http://www.middlecoin.com/reports/1FxziX77LiZLZxhdXMWREMQVMyjbDmCubw.htmlSo these are roughly comparable hashrates, with comparable reject ratios, but Frank (the newer, slower miner) is absolutely trouncing Bob on the payouts.
WTF is going on here?
(And yes, I know all the usual explanations, but I don't think any of them actually apply to this specific example)
Did Bob and Franck confirm you they've always worked with the same hashrate, each hour, for all the reported days?
No interruption, no days with some miners on another pool, no maintenance, no windows updates taking hours, no sick GPUs ?
You may be right but just with the dates and payouts of previous days and the hashrate of last hour there's no evidence.
For the last ten days beta servers could also have played a role. Some users switched and other didn't.
