Hi everyone!
I'm thinking about PPLNS and auto switch per algo function. AutoSwitched rigs are like pool hoppers, aren't they? 20 min Zclassic, then 30 min Zcash, but for permanent 20570 Zcash miners autoswitched 17023 miners are like hoppers, and PPLNS should pay more for 20570 for the first collective searching block then for 17023?
So 17023 miners will loose PPLNS bonuses every time algo switched?
it depends on how PPLNS is being implemented, N = ?
ideal setup for multipool is N=0.5 and multiport 17xxx switch right after dificulty drops(with price into calculations) on another coin, certainly not waiting for round to end as it is at the moment, as for PPLNS rounds(round ends with finding a block) are irrelevant.
p.s. in a running pool N can be reduced with no risk for pool op, increasing N will lead to pool op owing money to miners as it will stretch rounds backwards and include already paid shares.
