So why is you new ether pool set up so only 1 person ( the pool owner ) is maintaining over 70% of the share when i have seen others with higher hashrates? Did you not get a good enough share before with the pplns, pool owner? the pplns that it was set at the pool owner couldnt run his nicehash on the pool and get 70% of the block like he can now. I just wanted to warn anyone who might join the pool that the pool owner has set up the pools so he can manipulate and steal the majority of the block payouts with his nicehash

Hi!
Thank you for this post, you gave us the chance to explain our decision to switch to PROP payments method.

That choice had been made to remove the incentive for pool hoppers, so to remove exactly the behavior you are complaining about.
I would also like to point out that we NEVER rented hashpower to get an advantage as pool owner since this is not possible.

The round share is calculated supposing that the probability to find a block is a uniform distribution, which is true only on the long-term (at least weeks).
To be more clear: if the round variance is 98% and I rent 10000Ghash to do the shares needed to reach the 100% I do not have the guarantee that I will find a block.
Round variance is just an indication used to calculate luck, nothing more.

I strongly suggest you revise your knowledge regarding how mining and payments method work before making accusations.

Thank you,
Ambros
