Hi y'all!

I'm hoping somebody could help answer my merged mining, total noob questions. Here goes...

I have been mining here 24/7 for about 3 weeks with my S1. I've noticed that the longer it takes for a block to be found, the lower my daily BTC income is (according to the "DGM Estimated Round Payout"). Is this correct, or am I missing something?
If it is correct (where daily profit goes down the longer the round is), why wouldn't anybody leave the pool and go mine someplace else, say, after 175hrs, when it appears as though it's becoming less and less profitable? Would the "DGM Estimated Round Payout" keep diminishing over time if somebody left before the round was complete?

Clearly, people love mining here, so I'm very reluctant to leave without knowing exactly what it is that keeps people here - even while some rounds have been 500+ hrs (I hope this current one isn't one of them - I think.). Is it the fact that other coins are also being mined and paid out as bonus (something I have not setup yet), with apparently no ill effect on BTC mining income, where other pools don't do this type of mining?

I hope these aren't silly questions, and that I explained my concerns well enough that it makes sense to somebody who understands this stuff a whole heck-of-alot better than me. Any help would very much be gratefully appreciated!

Cheers, and Thanks!

When people join they start taking your share. But your income should increase as we could find more blocks. It all adds up if you have patience. We really do need a block a day at the very least though
