fair value for PPS = (current block reward) / (current difficulty) in BTC per share.
Current difficulty is 1,509,101.11 and current avg block reward is ~50 so full value for PPS share is 0.00003313 (or 3313 satoshis).
. If pool is paying less than that then the difference as a % is an undisclosed fee.
So this is the ideal maximum payout possible based on the difficulty you list regardless of the actual scoring system?
For example, I'm trying to compare these 2 pools:
Pool: [ 1,067.82 GHash/s | 155 Users | 468 Workers ] Server Time: [ 2012-05-04 13:42:53 CET ]
Bitcoin Round: [ 475,998 Shares | 0d 0h 33m | 99.56% Efficiency ] Namecoin Round: [ 259,637 Shares | 0d 0h 18m | 94.38% Efficiency ]

1 share ≈ 2^32 hashes or 4294.967296 megahashes <--This value is a constant, correct?
Full value for PPS share is 0.00003313 <---Comparison value.
Ozcoin
1,067,820 * 86,400 = 92 259 648 000 MHash/Day
92,259,648,000 / 4294.967296 = 21,480,873.2
21,480,873.2 * .00003313 = 711.661329 Payout Per Day
711.661329 / 1,067.82 = 0.666461884
EclipseMC
444,390.00 * 86,400 = 38,395,296,000 MHash/Day
38,395,296,000 / 4294.967296 = 8,939,601.48
8,939,601.48 * .00003313 = 296.168997 Payout Per Day
296.168997 / 444.39 = 0.666461885 Payout per Day per Gighash
Hmm. Ozcoin and EclipseMC no longer have 12%+ difference.
Are there other factors causing the variance that can explain a 12%+ difference in payout per day per Gigahash between pools?
How would rejected and stales affect the ideal payout per gigahash for EclipseMC @ 0.666461885?
