i totally agree
jumping to another pool is in my opinion just throwing away 10 good shift's and spending time to build good shift's at another!


While I don't promote pool jumping,  this is  false logic.  The PPLNS charge-up/wind-down time are symmetrical.  You do not lose anything by mining on a PPLNS pool for a few minutes, nor do you lose anything by leaving it after a few hours.  It is unhoppable because it uses a backward-looking payment allocation, not because it penalizes you if you don't mine constantly.  The expected payout per share on a PPLNS pool never changes based on timing/frequency of submissions.  Every share submission has the same expected payout whether you quit mining immediately after sending it, or if it was your first submission.

thx for pointing that out
next time ill think before i type Grin
