read over the password arguments for power usage options that way you can track power cost in your prohashing earnings charts, i think its W= and P=, read help section for full details

All you need to do is google mining calculator, there are millions. I recommend cryptocompare.com.

But isn't the pay outs different on this server? Like its mining so many different scrypt coins etc?

I would say try this: https://www.litecoinpool.org/calc?hashr ... ycost=0.35

That will show profits on litecoinpool, and a pretty decent estimate on power costs.

And since litecoinpool is typically anywhere from 10-15% higher than the 1M/H expected payout chart displayed on this pools main page, I would take the monthly profit on litecoinpool and multiply it by .85 to see how much you will make here on this pool for a month.

That seems sort of exaggerated. What mining rigs are you using that can get 15% at litecoinpool?

wow, i thought my electricity was expensive at 0.12

you should figure your watts closer to 1800 to 1900 to allow for your power supply inefficiency between 5-10%
also higher watts if you overclock your L3+, which most everybody does.

I am using a single L3+
I ran three 24-hour tests here on prohashing, using the autopool and selecting LTC as my payout and on litecoinpool.
I made .07 litecoins here. The next 24-hours when I tested at litecoin pool I made .08 for the 24-hours.

Litecoin pool runs from 12am to 12am, while prohashing goes from 6 to 6. So on the days I ran at prohashing I would have to wait until the following day to get 25% from one day and the other 75% on the other day.

But when added, I got .08 at litecoinpool and only .07 LTC per day on prohashing. I ran it for 6 days, every other day on the other pool and for the week I ran it it was always the same. Auto pool paid out .07 here and .08 on litecoinpool.

.07 / .08 = .875

So like I said, payout here on prohashing autopool is 10-15% lower....87.5% of the litecoinpool payout on here doesnt seem to be an exaggeration.
It's great that you used the chart on the main page and calculated that litecoinpool doesn't pay out any higher or lower. If only the chart on your main page was at all accurate. For the week I was here, your 1M/H expected payouts were off over 10% daily from what I was making.

I think as long as you are including the miners who are static c= mining into the scrypt 1/MH expected payout tables, those tables will continue to be incorrect for anyone using the autoswitch pool to try and compute their daily payouts. Until you ban c= mining, or seperate out the autopool from the cherry-picking c= miners, your 1/MH expected chart will continue to be off.

"I’m curious to see how much lower your earnings are for your machines, because I haven't calculated a significant difference with ours"
If the values you used to calculate were at all accurate and not skewed by including c= miners in the autopool expected payout then you would see the difference.

Static miners aren't being included in those calculations, so that definitely can't be the cause. Only dynamic miners are included. It's possible that it could be something specific to L3s, of course, but many people use them. If the difference were that severe, I would expect every person here to be making a huge deal about it.

Which days were you making these calculations on? Are you sure that the time period wasn't a few weeks ago, before we fixed many bugs and were able to increase profitability by almost 11%? Perhaps the reason I can't reproduce the issue is because the data is from a while ago.
