Hello!
Can someone explain me how does that "Blocks" number counts, and where's it from ? ( https://www.btcguild.com//index.php?page=pplns )
Becouse when i joined, there was about 24 blocks for every shift, and now it droped down to 10 - 12, is it a random number or what ?
How can i increase it ?
Sorry for dumb question ( if it is ), i don't know a lot about bitcoins.
Thank you!

Its just the number of blocks that have been credited to that shift. Each shift lasts about an hour, but gets credited with any blocks found by the pool over next 10 shifts (this shares out the luck and prevents pool-hopping scum from stealing value).

The number of blocks found over a shift is essentially random, but also depend on the total pool hashrate (currently 31THash/sec). Basically the more hashpower on the pool. the more blocks found per shift, but its distributed evenly according to your found shares, so its perfectly fair,

The summary at the bottom shows the pool's recent luck. Green is good, red is bad.
