Doc, have you considered adding pps?

No time right now. Just trying to keep things running smooth at the moment.

Can anyone comment on what the addition of PPS would do to other miners who stay on PPLNS? From my understanding, I tend to prefer PPLNS - it seems more sustainable and less risk to the pool. I'm not quite sure I understand how pools work when both payout systems are present as an option.

I don't even know what PPS is let alone fully understand PPLNS other than it's supposed to make pay more fair since it's supposed to be based on he amount of work you do for the server.

PPS, pay per share. For people who don't mine constantly, and for a few hours at a time it is better.

So both mean fair pay...

PPS: Fair pay for say 12hr a day miners
PPLNS: Fair pay for always plugged in and running miners

Here's the thing though, how would adding PPS affect PPLNS ?

Shouldn't, right now there is only one pool that offers both pps & pplns. It would be nice to see another one too.

I guess what I'm more curious about is if both were added, does a user choose the scale they want or the server just kinda sense what the user is doing and applies either or.

You would choose whether you want pplns or pps, at least that is how it is on the other pool.
