Just FYI, i split my hash between this site and mining straight DOGE the last 4 days. Straight DOGE was ~11.5% more profitable.
That is a decision which lies with you jpchrist

I am not defending the pool or the owner particularly btw - I am actually not mining on here currently, I am mining in a LTC pool

But my reason for that is not so much that Terk isn't profitable, because I believe he's as good (at least) as any of the others, but because I want to hold Litecoin. Currently profitability to mine LTC in a pool directly is a bit less, but I believe in the currency, so that's what I chose...
People are losing faith in the altcoin market, because any cretin with a 101 in C++ can launch a coin now, and most of them run away with the money. Too many opportunities to waste your hashrate. In a pool like this, that becomes Terk's problem, and we pay him a miserable 2% to do it. Doesn't matter to us, but it adds up and he works hard for it.
There are reasons to stay and reasons to go elsewhere. You just need to choose yourself
