@zimmy6996 The reason the amount of shares comparison doesn't work is because of the fact that the pool uses some sort of automatic difficulty algorithm. The first 10 seconds it sets the difficulty very low to determine your hashrate and then sets the difficulty to a higher level. So i.e. the first 10 seconds it will find 30 shares. The next minute and 40 seconds only 10. So it doesn't make sense to think in shares as you don;t take the difficulty into account.
If the difficulty was always static set at a certain value (for both your pool and the devPool, your above calculation would work quite ok)

BlissZ-

Thank you so much for the clarification! Hence why I was careful to say that I'm not dogging you and I'm trying to understand. I'm sorry if it came across that way ... I am removing/updating the original post as well to reflect this understanding.

Keep up the great work! I was going to use your firmware regardless! Like I said, just wanted to understand!

Thanks!

Zimmy
