The funny thing is not just the reward % that you lose every round due to the difficulty increase, but the number of solved blocks also went down for slush.
Gentlemen... I don´t know if the pool can support 500TH, or whatever, but the difference is HUGE.
Can support 500TH? What do you mean? Do you think the pool is having trouble keeping up with 500TH? Wouldn't that just result in a lot of invalid blocks? Or no blocks being found? Sorry; this is getting pretty arcane to me... After all this time I still don't understand the real nuts and bolts of what goes on...
