I couldn't help but lol.

I'm much happier on slush's.

Of course it dropped, difficulty increased.

Surely proportional gives you a greater return ?

I'm glad you are happier on slushs pool, there needs to be a diversity of pools all competing their hashing power. However the PPS drop doesn't seem to be a reason to make a thread really.

Well suck my cookies and call me Shirly, it's the thread making police ;)

How can you even compare PPS on deepbit to slush, you should compare prop on deepbit to slush at the very least.

I have no idea what the reason is, perhaps related to higher pool hashrate but I am consistently earning more every 24hr cycle on deepbit compared to slush, comparing an account on both running each at 350mhash/s for testing sake.

If you're referring to me, I didn't say he couldn't make a thread, I just said it was stupidly pointless to do so for such an irrelevant topic. Perhaps I should have added IMHO. As people seem to find little modifiers for some reason mollifying.

Like if I said "No offense, but this is the stupidest thread in the world", normally someone would be mad at that obvious insult, but I said no offense, making it better.

It's pretty simple actually.

Finding a block will now take finding 434883 "shares" on average. So deepbit earns 50BTC + fees for every ~434883 shares found by participating miners. Compare this to a week ago, where less than 300000 shares were needed on average to find a block.

Since the reward for finding a block stays the same, but the amount of shares needed to find one increases, it's quite logical that deepbit pays less per share than a week ago.

swepool.net offers higher PPS payment than deepbit.  Just sayin :P

Yeah, but Deepbit has dropped their payout from 0.0004 to 0.0001 over the past ~3-4 weeks. That's ridiculous. I can't believe there are so many people on deepbit.

... That's because difficulty increased 4 times in this period. Deepbit doesn't set the payout however they want, they divide the block reward by the difficulty and deduct a constant 10% fee.

Yep, I was making about $200 per day back then, now about $45

number of people on deepbit has nothing to do with that

you mining for a month now (basing on your post) and still don't understand what difficulty is?

I think he meant, he doesn't know why anybody would continue to pay more with deepbit.

10% of 0.0001 is also 4 times less than 10% of 0.0004... if it was ok 1 month ago, it should be ok right now too...?

This is a scam, do not fall for it.

LOL, only someone with an IQ equivalent to a banana fall for that !
