Hey ryancpwalsh,

I wanted to jump in to confirm what zneww was saying about the graphs-- they have been fairly broken for a while.  They have also been under-reporting actual earnings (sometimes considerably) throughout the day, and occasionally do things like jump up and back down.  We're working on it :/  Actually, we did just fix part of the problem-- the graphs now show your progress a bit better during the day, as they account for most of the immature/mature/in transit coins properly.  The rest will be fixed very soon as we tack down the loose ends during our beta process.  Sorry for the alarm and confusion!

As for the earnings, we have good days and bad days, as do all coin-switching pools.  Coin price fluctuations, volatile difficulties, the whims of the wallets and exchanges, etc, work for and against us some days.  And, for the record, we are working on several improvements in the coming weeks that should help alot with our pool efficiency (therefore profitability).  Pool hash power doesn't hurt either, if we grow we can tackle some more difficult coins (ie. DOGE)-- but its not everything.

Also, we are going to be putting out data about our daily averages @ 1Mh/s to help people see how we've been doing a bit more easily.  We're open to suggestions/requests about information you would like to see on the site, as we'd like to be as transparent as possible about how we operate. 

Cheers,
