...With a total of 28 shares for an unconfirmed total of 0.00000065 BTC.    I'm averaging between 12.915 to 10.500 Mhash/s.

Does this seem correct?  Less than 1 penny for all the resources I've loaned?

Don't take this as a criticism, but "all the resources [you've] loaned", even at the high estimate of 12.9Mh/s, comes out to less than 1/10,000 of a percent of the total shares input to the current pool hashrate, which is currently clocking over 1.3 Terrahashes/sec.

And the last 24 hours has been a GOOD pool day, that's about twice the payout (since we've found twice as many blocks) that you would normally expect to see in a statistically average day.  As OrganOfCorti said, if you're mining on GPU or CPU, the current difficulty and mining rate of the global BTC pool is so much larger than your capacity to mine on that hardware that it's not efficient.

Then you wont take this as a criticism when I say, nowhere on your website does it say, "reg CPU users will need to run their computer for a total of FIVE YEARS to generate 1 bitcoin".   I'm confident you DEPEND on the thousands and thousands of us "workers" who are under educated and dumb enough to run our computers for 24 hours to yield the lack of result while you keep everything we generate and have no choice to abandon because you won't payout less than 1 bitcoin.   Now I understand why information is pretty scarce.  It's clearly a deliberate intent to defraud.

I'm a small, "worker" and have been running my computer all night.  My GUIMiner says I have accepted 71 shares.  When I log in to your console it shows several rounds with no shares (I assume this means nothing was found).  With a total of 28 shares for an unconfirmed total of 0.00000065 BTC.    I'm averaging between 12.915 to 10.500 Mhash/s.
