Am i undestanding this correctly, the PPS system only credits when a block is solved, you're still earning as normal, it just doesnt register as a confirmed reward? Could it not at least register as unconfirmed by any chance?
Also, if im understanding it correctly, is this how it'll always be or is this just part of the beta phase and PPS reward only been available for a few days.

Im just looking for something which will give me correct hourly stats, and if a block isnt solved that hour doesnt come back telling me 0btc has been earned, the benefit of PPS to me is live earnings, or at least them being reported even if i cant withdraw it. Theres probably merits of the existing system, im not interested in arguing right or wrong with it (because i dont believe you opted to do it 1 way without considering its merits and my opinion holding any sway), it just happens that it really doesnt benefit our (our groups) needs because it ultimately looks no better than PPLNS where theres only sign of income when a block is solved and 0% vs 5% kinda negates the guarantee vs luck because even with a not so great time the lack of fee softens the blow, but good luck is even better. The main reason for PPS, for 'us', is a fairly fixed hourly income rather than erratic reporting.
So im not disputing the decision, just wondering if theres any point in me using PPS over PPLNS really if both will report no earnings from time to time, and if this is the intended end setup for PPS or just a temp solution.
