Thanks for getting back to me!
You're welcome! :-)
As an example, if you were exclusively mining Dogecoin, would I be better off:
a) mining directly to a Dogecoin pool which reports my having a 1.1MH rate
or
b) mining for altcoinplex which reports my having a 0.7MH rate
IMHO, in this situation they should pay-out the same amount but I'm concerned that I would lose out using altcoinplex due to the lower reported rate.
Theoretically, if all other variables are same in both cases, i.e. amount of blocks found, number of rewards etc., the payout should be the same amount.
