Why remove it? I am using it to compare PPS, SMPPS, DGM, and PPLNS for payouts and speed of payouts... See, your pools is in competition with other pools and payout systems. Other Pure PPS pools provide the info, and you said it was already implemented, so WHY won't you display it? Listen, in business when your competition provides better service (as seen by the customers, not you) you will loose market share. See we are supposed to be partners, not you dictating what i need. Also, the pools doesn't get paid until you find a block and complete a round, SO IT DOES EXIST IN YOUR WORLD, YOU ARE JUST PREVENTING YOUR MINERS (CUSTOMERS) FROM SEEING IT!

PPS payment doesn't depends on blocks. You don't need to wait for round completion. In most or all true PPS pools your balance is credited after each submitted share.

Pool owner may just send those shares to /dev/null if he wants to. PPS means "we are buying your shares and nothing more". No rounds, no invalids, no waiting for confirmations.

Sorry to break into your discussion, but I'm providing PPS service too and I really don't understand why someone would need a shares-in-the-round counter if nothing depends on it.
May be you just want to know when BTCGuild round ends for poolhopping to proportional pools ?

Maybe, I would like to use BTCG as a backup? Which I stated some posts back. There is no "benefit" for me to know when the round starts, but for me to use BTCG as a backup pool, I just need the share count to differentiate BTCG from a slow or bad luck pool and thus slower payouts... Not hard guys, that is why I don't understand WHY it is so hard to enable, yet would be a win win for the all or us...pool picks up hash rate and I (and others like me) can include BTCG in a backup role... To "know when BTCGuild round ends for poolhopping to proportional pools ?" makes no sense...why would anyone wait on a BTCG round to hop to a prop pool?

Why keep saying "You don't need it (even though i keep asking for it) so you can't have it (even though I and others with the same needs get it at other pure PPS pool that I am contributing shares to.)

See ABCpool:
Shares 3911
Invalid 7
Reject rate 0.18% (better than BTCG?)
Pool Speed 320

I would send shares to BTCG depending how I want to compare the pools via the round shares, which do exist when BTCG finds a block... You even said "Pool owner may just send those shares to /dev/null if he wants to..."

"Pool owner may just send those shares to /dev/null if he wants to. PPS means "we are buying your shares and nothing more". No rounds, no invalids, no waiting for confirmations." is from the standpoint of a miner in an ideal world... As I hope I have explained enough about why I, and others who mine through a proxy, need in order to prioritize competitive PPS,SMPPS, and DGM pools
