Hi, I wanted to clarify a couple of things regarding PPLNS pool system. As far as I understand, your shares are evenly distributed to average shares needed for a round. What I'm trying to say - if the round is shorter than average, some part of your shares go to the next round. And if the round is longer, it'e being cut. Is it correct ? Also I'm curious about a couple of things :
  • Is it possible to get shares for multiple rounds ahead ? Let's say we're super lucky for 5 rounds in a row and hit them 10 times faster than usual
  • How exactly nanopool system works ? They have PPLNS over time. So if the time is 20 minutes, I'm getting my shares averaged out for next 20 minutes or what ?
  • Is there some possibility to get advantage/disadvantage mining at specific time ? Like pool hopping or something

Suffice it to say this and be less complicated.  PPLNS is best for those that jump the pools. You can use it either way, but that is the best use for that protocol. If a site is fairly trusted and used that protocol, then it is going to be the same. I hope you get this point clear here.
