After getting very annoyed with this pools seemingly high orphan rate, payout rounding, etc…  I've tried a couple different Doge only pools listed on Dogecoin's website to see how they operate.

I'm happy to report that among the pool I tested, not once did I experience an orphaned block.  Also the payout calcs were dead on.  This pool seems to round up a bit.

Generally, the pools I've tested had a higher overall hash rate.  I was thinking that my earnings would be about the same or less.  My personal earnings have gone up substantially. (15-30% depending on the pool)
