Alright, I've been running on this pool for over 24 hours now, using an unmodified m0n miner. It seems like my estimated earnings are about 1.3btc, which is quite low compared to what I would get on slush's pool and what I would expect with a 5870 (approximately 4btc/day right now).

I know that the modified miner only helps the pool server, and not me, but is the low payout because there are not enough people in the pool yet, or did I miss something in the flame fest?

As we're a new pool, with less users, we are currently solving blocks at a slower rate than other pools, which will cause your overall payout to be lower for the time being.

As far as our miner is concerned, it works two fold.

1) It decreases load on the server by not asking for work as often, which benefits the server.

2) It queries your local bitcoind for block changes to prevent you from working on stale work, which benefits you AND the server.

We recommend you update to our latest version and read this post about how to configure it properly to check against your local bitcoind.
