Am i undestanding this correctly, the PPS system only credits when a block is solved
This is incorrect. PPS is credited when shifts are created. Right now, this is about 1h 40m.
, you're still earning as normal, it just doesnt register as a confirmed reward?
With PPS, every share is paid for by the pool regardless of whether we find blocks or not.
Im just looking for something which will give me correct hourly stats
Bitcoin mining measured in hours will have a lot of variance because of share variance. We provide charts on your dashboard so show you your daily earnings over the last 30 days.
