Not only that, but according to poolpicker.eu it's average return is in line with other script pools for the last few weeks. Of course, all script pools are doing crap now... But my point is that middlecoin is supposedly doing it with both hands tied behind it's back.
This might have more to do with the way poolpicker calculates or perhaps is even led to arrive at its daily numbers.
Good point. poolpicker uses the best numbers it can come up with depending on what the individual sites offer. There are real limitations to that approach though and you have to take it with a grain of salt. Suchmoon's technique of actually mining sites and reporting his results is much better
