Regarding estimated coins per day, with any coin, the golden rule is:

```
coins per day = kh/s * coins per block / network difficulty / 50

```

So for example, if you were mining Dogecoin with 800 kh/s, you would have

```
coins per day = 800 * 250000 / 1000 / 50 = 4000

```

This 50 is not really a 50 exactly, but rather 2^32 / (3600 \* 24 \* 1000), where 2^32 is the expected number of hashes required to find a block at difficulty 1 (i.e. the probability of finding a block is 2^-32), 3600 is the number of seconds per hour, 24 is the number of hours per day, and 1000 is the the number of hashes in a kilohash.
