Clarification Please

Hello,

Last week I joined your pool. I was not expecting anything spectacular but I liked the idea of helping out a relatively new pool. I have two D3 de-clocked and stable for a constant 34GH/s. Last week after 30 hours or more my pending payment was over .3 dash, this then went down to .229 which is what I was paid.
There was some message about manual adjustments for the miners who found the block etc but I felt that that amount of Dash was not worth my time and so I left.

Anyway I decided to give it a longer shot this time.  I read up more on the pool realise it basically will come down to less blocks but more reward based on shares etc.

After 30 hours, and the block 752555 was found I was paid 0.023 DASH. Which appears to be a minuscule amount for the time and work put in.

I have continued the experiment and have not left again yet but please. Can someone explain is this is correct and how? Is there some mistake or is that correct for 30 hours. 0.023 Dash?

I see we now have two more blocks on the way and I guess that will answer my question in many ways but I would appreciate some insight here.
