So it's because of conversion LTC > BTC?

<p>We mine LTC in clevermining.com pool. Day by day LTC payouts are getting lower and lower, though total hashrate is not changing significally. What might be the cause?</p>

If the total hashrate is staying the same, you should expect your payouts *in LTC* to stay about the same. But the chart you linked shows payout values in BTC, presumably based on a market rate conversion from LTC to BTC. And as you can see in [this chart](https://bitcoinwisdom.com/markets/btce/ltcbtc), the LTC/BTC exchange rate has been falling over the relevant time period. (Note the scale on that chart is deceptive, since the bottom of the chart is not 0.)
