Earlier this month (February 2014), bitcoinplus was paying zero BtC per payout. My display was showing payouts, but I had no BtC added to my balance. I sent a couple of email messages, asking questions about this, but I never got a reply.
I looked again today, Feb 16, and the payout amount is 0.00000001 BtC. This is one percent, of one-millionth of a BtC. Divide a BtC into a million pieces, and then take one percent of one piece. You need a hundred payouts to earn one-millionth of a BtC.
My Intel Core Duo, which was a gaming system in its day, produces about 2 payouts in 6 hours. I would need to run the machine non-stop for about 300 hours, to get one-millionth of a BtC. Assuming that the difficulty did not increase. 300 hours...non-stop...is a little less than two weeks, calendar time.
Where I live, the electricity to run my Core Duo machine for two weeks is worth a lot more than one-millionth of a BtC.
