Yup, whereas renting you could make between 0.016 and 0.017 BTC/MH/day for the same time period (However, the day before, mining on this pool would have been more profitable)

Profitability of most coins has dropped off in the past 2-3 days, so it's more the market that's the issue, not how this pool is handling trading/mining.

I don't blame h2o for waiting to exchange a fair amount of what we mined :]
