I have been mining on Miningpool.shop too, and I have not received what the mining calculators predict, but I never do.
i think calculators are really calculating based on what you would get if solo mining over a long period, and you got exactly the average number of blocks for your hash-rate (rather than the random blocks you actually get when solo mining.
If I could solo mine I think I would average approximately 1-2 block (15 -30 CRP per day) but it's hard to work out how to solo mine, since when I type "help" in the console there aren't the usual references to the stuff that would go in the .conf file.
When you mine on a pool, especially when you are mining on pools like the ones that offer CROP mining (where people auto-switch all the time based on API driven auto switching mining managers) - the pool's hash-rate can change dramatically over 24 hours. I have seen miningpool.shop with over half the nethash at some times, then others with only an eighth of it. I have also seen this variation on some of the other pools.
This means that your stability of "luck" will vary a lot. When their hash-rate is high, you will get regular payouts as they mine regular blocks, but when it is low it will become more random.
This is all very obvious and dramatic when you mine such a new coin, because there aren't large, established pools with loyal miners keeping up a high predictable hash-rate - it's going to vary all over the place.
Then there is also the hash-rate variation between what your miners report and what the pool actually credits you with, and rejected shares, etc.
Calculators say I should make about 16/day and over the last 24 hours I made about 12. I'm not happy with that obviously but it's around what I expect.
I don't trust small pools at all really, but with these totally new coins that's all we have. The alternative is to go back to really established stuff like equihash coins, but then you go back down (in my case) to $20/day if I'm lucky. Even with the lower payouts the pools are giving me on CROP, I'm still doing $30-$40 /day.
Thanks a lot for your kind and long reply. Very interesting. With how many cards you make 30/40 per day? on which pool?
