Ok being the complete newb that I am to the whole mining thing something has me confused.

From what I understand right now, mining LTC and NVC should yield about the same amount of coins at the same hashing rate.

But when I mine LTC I am making over 200x more than NVC.  Same set up but different pools.  I can't see how the pool can make that much difference.  I have tried 2 NVC pools same result.

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

I mine 40% NVC coins than I would LTC but the NVC price is currently 506% the price of LTC.

Fully aware of the pump and dump price.  That being the main basis behind the question.  40% difference of you, this still seems illogical.

The block reward for LTC is 50 and the block reward for NVC is 16 and going down slowly so they do not yield the same amount of coins.

Mining NVC with 40% of the coins than I would get with LTC and 506% more value I end up with 202% more BTC from mining NVC than with LTC.

If you want to mine LTC then it is still best to mine NVC, dump for BTC and buy twice the amount of LTC that you could have mined.
