I see, that makes sense.

All the PPS pools are super busy and can swing that. They appear to be making their money from TX fees, while pps+ is looking like 4% fees.

Totally was the confusion.

Will add a pps / pps+ (not 4% for sure lol) pool to my rotation. Will be nice to be able to mine for a day and not have to worry about a block find.

Thanks again!
