How dare he ruin a guide with facts.   Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry
I could have sent that in pm and lose the chance to alert some individuals they are inducing biased opinions into other peoples work.

DeathAndTaxes is right, those are facts, not opinions. To me it sounds like you are saying 1+1=2 is just an opinion.

But you are right that I am biased, as are others. The reason I want people to understand PPLNS is because I use it in my pool. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, though.

The proof is already on this forum, or other independent blogs out there, and they point out some of the "new discovered" payout algos are taking a share of the unsuspecting miners revenue and then claiming it evens out in the long run.

Please include links to the proof of this. The whole reason I chose PPLNS was to get fair payouts to miners.

In this business you're really better off by listening your instinct and a good example was the guide posted by kislam

Where possible I would listen to facts, statistics and math. Check out the research Meni Rosenfeld has done on payout methods: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=32814.0

I agree this is a nice guide, though. It goes through the important issues and still manages to stay short, which I think is essential.
