First, mining with a laptop is a bad idea. It can't handle the heat of continuous full load.

That leads to the second point, throttling. It's throttling because it's too hot. There isn't much
you can do about it because it's a small enclosed space.

The hashrate reported by the pool is based on submitted shares. You aren't submitting shares
regularly enough to calculate a stable hash rate. Set a lower difficulty if you can, check pool
instructions for how.

Thanks for the tip.  I'll look into the difficulty!  Yeah, i know about the throttling, but the fans aren't even kicking onto high gear!  When it gets too hot the damn thing sounds like a jet about to take off!  I have yet to hear that when mining KawPow algo.  GPU is sitting at a stable 65C, which as far as GPUs go, isn't too bad.  My desktop, which I leave mining 24x7 on an rx580 hovers in the low to mid 70's.  I will never understand how MacOS works!  Personally, i'd rather  not even have the damn thing...but i needed it for iOS dev work...so there ya go!
