Oh, I think you might be getting confused by me throwing in 31.5MHs as the same thing as shares... which it isn't.... (again, not intuitive!)...

Right now the main product are qASIC shares... 1 share = 100KHs (in scrypt)... so when you buy (let's say) 1K6X package, you get 1600 qASIC shares, which equals 160MHs... the modifier thing, DUAL MOD M10, converts 630 qASIC shares to "Active Mining" shares...

So let's say you have those two products... your account would have 630 Active Mining Shares and 970qASIC shares.

So your 970 qASIC shares are easy to figure out, just divide by 100 to see how many MHs of Scrypt (LTC/FTC) you have, which would be 97MHs.

Now your 630 Active Mining shares can do two things, either mine VTC or DRK. Due to the different algos, those shares translate into the following:

1. If you select VTC, 1 Active Mining share translates to 50khs of mining power (because it's Scrypt-N)
2. If you select DRK, 1 Active Mining share translates to 300khs of mining power (because X11)

So, the 31.5 number I was referring to was just in terms of MHs, not shares. The actual share number you'd use in the farm payout is the number of Active Mining Shares (which in this example was 630).

Does that make sense? Trust me it took me lots of PMs with people to learn it all too.

Everything in your account is based on shares.... I'm working on a web-based calculator specifically for this to help maybe make it easier for people... will post a link in a few days once i'm done.
 

Well, remember you can't just buy Dual Mods, you need to have ASIC shares to use the mods (just making sure that is clear). But using today's snapshot prices (CoinWarz) this is what I calculate (obviously these numbers change frequently!):

For example if you bought the 830x (83 MHs) package (which you can use the coupon code: anniversary1yr) and the M10 modifier ($1349.55 not including the 8% BTC discount if you pay with BTC.. coupon does not work with these products), you’d end up with 31.5 MHs of VTC mining and also have 20MHs of LTC mining at the same time.

At current rate, the VTC shares would net you ~0.07214160 BTC/day and your remaining LTC shares would net you 0.00671763 BTC/day… compare this to if you had just been mining all 83MHs on LTC only which would net ~0.02783918 BTC/day.

Lots of people are just loading up on the 160MHs package for around $910 or so, but that still just nets you ~0.05366589 BTC/day.

So, you'd get a better return getting the modifiers, which have been better and likely will be... up until VTC switches algos (end of Nov I think). So by then, you'd likely have your initial outlay back... and also have been through one share multiplication (I think end of Oct is the next one... though if you bought today you MIGHT get into the multiplication tomorrow.... but this is just a guess on my part).

EDIT: Just to add, one of my goals was to just keep mining VTC until the algo switch, which would hopefully be long after I recouped my initial purchase cost and then just mine DRK to support the coin (not flip for BTC).

EDIT 2: You can also look at previous week payment info (on a per-share basis) on the Payouts Page
