Did they implement an award reduction or something that I don't know about.  I know price has dropped but I have the same hash and for the past week lost like 20% coin production.  I have been looking at difficulty and it has actually dropped from what I can see, and hash rate is pretty stable now.  Any idea?  Or am I just a tard reading difficulty and hash wrong.

Thanks!

I’m getting around 1-1.5% more now mining ethereum if compared 1-2 weeks ago. As I can say for myself, the earnings seems pretty consistent

I feel the rewards for my rig has gone down around 20pct in last one month. My hashrate is not stable due to the constant restart due to the heat but for sure the rewards gone down

Is it possible that you've mixed the definition of actual ETH mined and value of ETH mined? Given that difficulty has dropped a little compared to one week ago, it should follow that you should be getting the same or even more actual ETH mined. The value of this ETH mined however has recently tanked.

If not, you could probably also consider the pool and luck factors. Whatever change in ETH mined, it should not be significant as no major changes to ETH block reward have been implemented as of yet.

Talking about the ETH mined only. My suspicion is the nanopool. I base my argument on the "Calculator" portion of my nanopool account.

the difficulty is th highest it has ever been is why

I would like to say "Difficulty" however you seem to be a Senior member and I am assuming you already know what difficulty is.

When difficulty goes up, you make less coins with the same hash rate, doesn't matter what the price is.

Either that or your pool has horrible luck in the last 2 weeks.

Ya what is was:  Stupid calculator was not working correctly.  I moniored actual drops in my account and they were inline as to what I was expecting.  Moral to the story:  DO THE MATH every now and then, the calculators could be wrong.
