I mean seriously I used to make 0.0025 a week.

Am I'm just having the worst luck ever or is there something up.

THERE MAY BE SOMETHING UP--

Recently, there was a network problem of some sort. I think it affected some of the profitablity calculations for the worse. The miner population shifted in response, and some of the top mining algos were actually providing little profit even if the coins at the market had a steady value. The number of miners and hash rate had dropped.

Your continual reports of solo-mining problems may have their own merit as well. Personally, I'd like to know when any coins within an algorithm are being merge-mined versus individually mined with only portions of the total hash rate. There are low value coins that I would not like to waste hash power on unless they are being merge-mined. I use the "mc=COIN" flag in my password string to focus my hash, but would like to know if that focus is actually necessary. If coins are being merge-mined, the "mc" flag is not necessary, as the low value coins are mined with no separate effort. On the other hand, if the pool software is portioning out the mining hash, I want my hash focused on the valuable coins.

And, as for solo-mining, there are some good algos where my hash is enough for mining blocks solo. I just keep reading your reports and have not experimented, as I can't afford to waste hash.

Perhaps pinpins will respond... --scryptr

Just clarify solo and non solo is just matter of reward distribution in case your miner was identified as finder. Hashing and block finding logic is the same in a pool.

When it comes to hashing and mc= option, I always recommend to put alternative coin in mc set, like mc=DGB/GAME. Giving example, as pool is autoswitch when DGB appears on top of list, all free hash(not locked with mc=) is moves to DGB and all of sudden DGB becomes full of hash, until next diff raise it receives more hash that it can consume, pool logic then moves extra hash to next coin in your list based on profitability, say GAME, and you have chance to find block there and utilizing left overs in better manner.

Hope this helps or clarifies a bit.
