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-

And 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.html

So 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)

Hello there.
Let me put down my thoughts on this but first I need to address that I am very new on this "mining" scene.

All of you, measure your hashrate as one unit and then you start calculations and compare graphs.
I think this is completely wrong. Each card has a x hashrate. Middlecoin has a fixed vardiff at 512.
This mean that a low hashrate card will be very difficult to have shares against a fast card.
So, having this in mind, consider that Bob has some rigs with many low hashrate cards while Frank has less and faster cards.
On some coins Frank will have share faster than Bob before the coin switch.
Another example is that for 3-5min Bob lose connectivity or has more rejects than Frank but in this time-frame we mine the most uber profitable coin ever.
Frank will have more shares than Bob even on 3 hours average graphs gives the same hashpower.

My conclusion, with so many vars you cant handle/investigate/guess why Frank earns more than Bob or the opposite.

I hope I am not wrong. Thanks.
