Now my s9 is on 247 and my 741 plus small miners r on every ither day for 10h to bump up my hashing power
...
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
Not exactly, no.
What PPLNS does is spread your payouts out, not reduce them.
So although you may not reach the maximum reward per block for a T9, your expected reward is the % of time you mine.
So if you say mine 50% of the time, your rewards will expect to average out to 50% of a T9.
Those lines on the Help->Payouts page are very important:
The 5Nd means it takes that long to reward your shares.
The ramp isn't missing rewards, it's delaying them to reduce variance.
If you are always ramping up and down, you aren't expected to earn less than the time you are mining.
The only factor there is pool luck, which of course over the longer term is expected to approach 100% from above or below.
