Title: Proportional vs PPLNS
Post by: BennyAndDeJets on June 23, 2017, 12:04:58 AM
What is the difference between the two?  Proportional is based on how many shares you sent in the round that found the block, but isn't PPLNS based on the same thing?

Proportional means long term miners will be ripped off by hoppers.

Understanding statistics is a requirement :)
