thanks all for your replies, definitely a great community !
what i understood, if my T9 is not running 24x7, i would have very few chance to be successful using the PPLNS : (
have 3 days running but unfortunately interment, so, it looks like that is no good!
thanks

You need them to run 24/7 to get the "best bang" for your buck. Otherwise, it's costing you more money by just sitting there not getting anything in a return.

My understanding is that PPLNS is the best especially if you're running miners intermittently since other pools' ramps are so short that soon after you stop mining there, you basically get nothing.

Here, on the other hand, it takes just as long to ramp down as it does to ramp up--assuming pool hashrate and the Network Difficulty stays the same.

Stick around. It's worth it! Grin

Correct, but they're running it less than 50% of the time, it's really not in his best interest. Gotta set aside time to get these puppies ramped up, then the hit or miss running time will be more "justly" rewarded.

Ramp or not, it would still pay better than PPS.

The 5nd is a function of shares not time. If he is only running a T9 50% of the time. At PPS he will be rewarded the T9's hashrate for 12 hours out of the day. Here after he has submitted shares during the entire length of the 5nd. He is rewarded at that same rate. A T9's out output for 12 hours per day during all of the 5nd.

At a PPS pool he still makes less than here because PPS pay less.
