I've bee watching my shares according to the stats page.
I was wondering why my miner keeps switching from block to block?
Sometimes the miner stay's with a block for hours and sometimes it's just minutes even though there are still confirmations left.
Would someone be able to explain?
I was under the understanding the longer you stay the better the payout?

Thanks,
When a block is found, why continue looking for it? Thats why your miner "keeps switching from block to block"
Dont worry about the confirmations, that number will decline as new blocks are found by the network.
Longer runs doesn't give you better payout per hour, as you can see above. (shorter is better) but on Slush's pool you are "punished" if you don´t finish the round (pool hopping)
Excuse my poor english and i hope i make some sense
