ETH mining, steady decline in payouts

[JoWannes]

Sorry in advance for the obvious noob question.

So I'm mining ETH using Claymore's miner with 6 RX580 4GB cards on ethermine.org. I've started just before New Year (a month and a half ago)

Claymore reports +- 180MH/s, the mining pool +- 170MH/s. This seems to be normal, and stood steady over time.

Despite that, there's a steady decline in my weekly payouts:

Is this normal? I mean, yeah, difficulty increases over time, but... does it go this fast?

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Yes it's normal.
More competition bigger network hashrate, less money for you.

[Pekine]

yes this is normal.

[NameTaken]

Ethereum network hashrate is currently over 230 TH/s and assuming an average of 25 MH/s per GPU, that more than 9,200,000 GPUs.

About a 7.5% drop in yield per month. looks normal

Dont worry bro it's normal, all pools have such small problems. you can check the table (schedule) under the payouts/rounds link.

As others have said this is normal as pool difficulty goes up. If your interested in learning more just google about ethers mining difficulty

Its normal , and your payout is going to be much less faster... I hope you are not one of those guys who built they mining rig , bc any kind of web calculator told you , you going to get back your investment within a few months ...
