So you mean to tell me that your pissed at Kano because you don't like the way PPLNS works?  Really??  I don't like the way PPLNS works either, I like straight proportional because it's easy to understand and check, but it's hoppable.  I could really care less that it's hoppable as I don't have a problem with hoppers making a little extra for the extra work they did.  But the Bitcoin community overwhelmingly disagrees with me on that and demanded payout systems like PPLNS.  So if the ramp up and ramp down irritate you then blame the entire Bitcoin community.  Kano is just acquiescing to the demands of the community at large.
