Can someone explain BTCGUILD's PPLNS to me like I am a five year old.

I've also read about PPLNS being a loyalty system...

Does this mean i will lose all my shares if i switch to a more profitable pool or will my shares accumulate. Or are shares only calculated from the beginning to the end of a period.

I havent seen anyone with PPLNS making more than PPS.

I havent seen anyone with PPLNS making more than PPS.

And you are mining at BTCguild?

[tzortz]

No, at Ghash.
I make a 8% more than BTCguild and 13% more than Slush, for the last 20 days.

It is not luck, as I compared the rewards/ my hashing speed and the blocks found.
It may be the no fee difference or maybe also the Ghash server creates better connection with my miners.

I dont know about Eligius have not tried it yet.
