Poof fee is very important though, to accurately gauge your mining efficiency.  Without that, it doesn't really work to compare different pools with the above information.  

I'd be glad to add the fee to the json feed of EMC, but our fee has always remained the same since the start. 0% for DGM.


Ha! Very easy to add your fee Smiley

If the main pools that appear in the weekly stats agree to add a fee indicator to their current API so that this can run without constant monitoring on my part, then I'll include it. Unfortunately it has to be something all pools decide to do otherwise the pools that do add the fee are disadvantaged.

Personally, I don't think it is a significant issue though - for most pools variation in orphan rates, tx fees and pool luck obscure income differences caused by pool fees. If I was doing monthly or quarterly averages fee effects might be more obvious.

Otherwise it might be best to call it a 'Pool profit indicator" rather than a "miner profit indicator".


Edit: An API field that indicates the amount paid to miners per block (including NMC converted to BTC) would take into account pool fee, merged mining and whether the tx fee is included or not.  Going forward I think this would be optimal. Any pools that include this in their API would be in the chart, others would not. What do you think?
