<p>No. The payout is determined by the block reward divided by the difficulty. The <a href="http://bitcoinmagazine.com/block-reward-halving-a-guide/" rel="nofollow">block reward halves</a> every 210,000 blocks and the <a href="http://bitcoindifficulty.com/" rel="nofollow">difficulty changes</a> based on the total amount of mining.</p>

<p>As I write this, the block reward is 25 BTC and the difficulty is 37,392,766. Dividing gives .0000000668, which would be the pay per share at this moment for a pool that charged no fees and kept all transaction fees.</p>

Hello Rafi and welcome to the StackExchange. Your question is very subjective - I am guessing you are asking about a reward per share at a mining pool. It's best to ask the pool's support directly about such inquiries.

0.00000064 BTC is what you got for what? That's a reasonable amount to get now for a difficulty-1 share in a mining pool, but you need to specify that.
