I tried DBIX2 when it was just created. PPS seemed like a good and fair payout structure. But, because the pool's hashrate is so low, the payouts will always be too far between. Sure, you will get a bigger piece of the pie, but the pies will get delivered less often. With the PPLNS 3000, you are still getting paid regularly, just smaller pieces.

Also, consider that DBIX pool 1, 2, and 3 are all competing with each other to mine the block. if we are going to compete, it should be with other pools.

What is the alternative? Mine ether? Ethermine has PPLNS scheme. I dunno what their share threshold is, but it seems to be working fine.

Maybe 3000 is a bit too low. But, at the same time, DBIX pool is mining the majority of the blocks, so i plan to stay there. Guaranteed, regular payouts.
