I'm not sure I understand this part:
Once you mine more than one or two solid for a stretch, youll start to notice the differences between them, and correlate profitability to the size of the split in the two lines.
-One or two different algorithms? or coins? I thought on zpool we could only mine the algo and the pool picks the coin.
-What is the split in the 2 lines?
Sorry to keep cluttering the thread
no worries. Algos; once you mine this one for a while, you will notice the graph as your earnings add up. How it behaves when profitability is low, and how it behaves when profitability is high.
Once you mine a different algo like lyra2v2, you will see a whole new pattern of earnings accrual.
The two lines I refer to are the two lines in your wallet page graphs on the left. The thin line being the "total earned" or "total unpaid", and the solid one/area below it being the "total confirmed" or "balance".
you can only count on the "balance" as a final earnings you are guaranteed cause its already been sold to the exchange or any miners wanting to be paid in whatever coins we mine... but total unpaid gets you a pretty close guess based on past TX's/sales.
