Im hashing at 1.1Ghash but im only getting .6 btc a day am I in the right pool

[leeloulee]

Im currently hashing at 1.1 Ghash\s but on my best day I only get .6 btc in 24 hours,should I switch pools or is that the norm right now?

I would love to see some posts of peoples speeds and their rewards for 24 hours of mining,and with pool would pay the best

Short term best paying = pool hopping in proportional pools
Short term fairest paying = PPS pools (Eligius/Arsbitcoin)

Long term best paying = long term fairest paying = any pool with 0% fees, no proportional payout (hoppers!) and ideally even payout of transaction fees

[error]

Did you only mine for 24 hours? Mine for two weeks, and then see if you get the expected amount of BTC for your hashrate.

That is about right, I have 2.5Ghash and I get anywhere between 1.20 and 1.75 a day, there is definitely some variance.

[wtfman]

maybe a bit too high stale right also?

on average you should do about ~0.65 in 24hours now. should have done obviously a little better with last difficulty

[bcpokey]

Stale shares, variance in rate of share submission, variance for pool, pool fees, all these things can and/or will drag down your BTC earned. If you're close to the theoretical return rate, you're doing well.

Long term best paying = long term fairest paying = any pool with 0% fees, no proportional payout (hoppers!) and ideally even payout of transaction fees

Short term = whatever pool
Long term = solo mining

In the end though, solo mining is most profitable due to 0% fees (you actually get paid transaction fees) and significantly less downtime.

Try BTCGuild you can choice to pay feels and get confirmed instantly or pay no fees but wait 17 hours per block.
Im getting 0.31 a day on 288 mhash/s with a few hours with my 6670 joining in adding an extra 121mhash/s

These are not PPS! You're misleading people by implying that they are.

And it's funny you say these are good short-term, given that they only promise you'll get your due payout eventually (if the pool lives that long).

You must be lucky or something. I'm mining with 930mh/s and get ~.55 BTC/day.

How many transactions actually have collectable fees on them? I know this is supposed to supplant the reward, so I'm wondering if you are seeing any signs of this.

These are not PPS! You're misleading people by implying that they are.

They are "PAMSAPWPPSP" (Pay as many shares as possible with PPS payment). As long as they have a positive balance (which both currently have), it is possible for them to pay PPS and they will do so, if the operators don't cheat.

Short term = whatever pool

I disagree, in a proportional pool your shares get worth less and less, the longer the round is. Getting in a 6 million shares round on a proportional pool is eqal to mining with only 25% of your hash rate in a 100% PPS pool (which do only exist if arsbitcoin or Eligius have positive funds - if their funds are negative, you risk not getting paid for some shares or getting paid less than 100% PPS).
