FastCoin (FST) - coin gained highest in the beginning of my miners starting

[cthomas1489]

Hey everyone,

So I'm new to the site and somewhat new to mining. I've mined a few LTC but recently switched to FST since my hashing isn't too high and I feel I can make more here. I begin testing it out with one of my GPUs (an MSI 7950 I bought for gaming awhile ago) and have been mining on and off in MiningPool.co FST pool for the past 24hrs.

What I've noticed is that when I start my worker in GUIMiner-Scrypt, it starts earning fairly quickly and my account balance goes up. But over time it tends to slow down pretty hard and the accepted shares only raises slowly. Is this normal? I've read of people gaining so many more coins so quickly I'm confused. Granted, I'm using one card at around 610 kh/s but still think it should be better. Overnight last night I gained very few coins when I thought I was gonna to make double at least what I did since I made more during the day with the gpu mining on and off for a shorter period of time than leaving it on all night to mine constantly.

Does anyone have any more information on FST?

There's a really long thread (40 or so pages) in the alt currencies forum that has some pretty interesting information on it.

So looking at all the individual round information I noticed that many rounds I don't have any shares. Is that because they are solved too fast for me to be a part of? Would having a high hash rate combat this?

But I did notice that I'm part of a lot more in the beginning (first 30min of starting my miner) and then slowing down. I don't want to have to keep start/stopping it.
