people while the coin went from 1$ to 2.5$ the difficulty went from 6T to 18T in two days
so I don't think it is the "most" profitable coin out there on Ethash to mine (close tho) people are mining it for the potential and expectations.
How many ETP do you think you'll mine if the price goes to 10$ and difficulty 100T?
Unless you are selling what you mine daily without holding, 5-10% daily income difference should not matter.
I am literally running 8 servers to keep a stable pool up. And trust me I am in negative and just holding it hoping the coin will take off and people will remember their good old fellow dodopool
Why not pay?
All broken?
