If you're not willing to accept variance then you have no business on a 500 MH pool. Just take a look at the pool hash rate and move on (until it gets bigger at least).

Wow, that's a bit arrogant. So are you going to start telling me how to live my life? Who are you trying to defend? I've said nothing but good things about waffle. Are you seriously white knighting a different pool in a thread about waffle?

God no, I love waffle. I said earlier in this thread I was in the process of building a switching pool that does the same thing.

I'm just saying that 500 MH pool is going to have a lot of variance, you were the one who said you couldn't accept that. It's unavoidable (other than growing the pool or offering something like PPS which is a whole other issue).

Also, I actually think there is more variance than is visible on that table because there are some very big payoffs on some of these coins that it is hard for a small pool to hit (but it will eventually/occasionally hit them, or it will hit them more if it gets bigger).
