sad still no one can answer my question why that my Cointerra are only mining at 1320 GH/s instead of 1600 GH/s ...... SOS SOS SOS

Anyway... another question please to my big brothers:

I am new to p2pool, so not sure about how the share system works. How long will a share be paid? I mean how the the PPLNS system works in p2pool. I've heard someone once said the shares are paid for 3 days after it was found. Is that the case? Or are shares only paid the immediate next block?

Have never mined with Cointera gear so cant help you there.

The p2pool share chain is very similar to the bitcoin blockchain with 2 major exceptions:

1. Bitcoin blocks are expected to found every 10 minutes, in p2pool a share is expected to be found every 30 seconds
2. Unlike bitcoin, p2pool nodes do not know the entire chain, they know only the last 8,640 shares (about 3 days)

Any miner with a valid share in the active p2pool share chain is paid when a block is found by the pool, hence the statement "the shares are paid for three days after its found"...
