CoinoTron - Hash Rates

[miner2002]

I'm running an extremely consistent 220 khash rate locally.  I am connecting to the CoinoTron pool and it seems to swing up and down on what it's reporting. Sometimes it will show less (down to 100 at times) and sometimes more (up to 300), but my rate is rock solid. In addition, it's accepting 99% so I don't think that's the issue.

Is this normal? Anyway to confirm they are receiving what they should?

Also, are there any better pools out there for mining alt coins?

Perfectly normal the estimate on all sites is based on how fast you solve each share. Sometimes you solve them sooner than average sometimes you solve them slower.
I remember worrying about the same thing when I had 200 mhs. Worry more about keeping it running 24/7 and watching your miner doesn't crash or hang

P's add a backup pool

Thank you sir! I've got more power on the way, just trying to learn as much as I can while I'm waiting on parts!
