yeah I guess I cant keep on top of everything, never saw ckolivas' and Kano's explanation of the balance disparity.

The balance issue was that the old balance option was trying to balance based on getting work.
However, if one pool has roll-n-time - and the rest don't - then that one pool will be able to roll the work and thus generate much more work and thus the balance would be greatly in it's favour (and not balanced)

So there are now 2 balance options:
1) LoadBalance - the old one
and
2) Balance - based on trying to submit the same number of shares to each pool

Yep, what he said

I see you still haven't updated your "About Ozcoin Mining Pool" list to reflect that you use/support rolltime?

Being that CGMiner's load balance and balance options cause the majority of shares being submitted to rolltime pools it would be nice to know which pools support rolltime.

I was really suprised that BTCGuild doesn't support rolltime, which was implied by ckolivas' and Kano's explanation of the balance disparity.
Thanks,

It's something that had bugged me for a long time through many versions of CG Miner, but was never really that big of a deal to me and thought it was unique to something on my side. But then someone else it as a problem which caused me to inquire into it a bit more.

Here is a link to Kano's reply

Ahh, thanks for that kano

I didn't realise the implementation was so rare, had assumed most pools would be rolling time

Slowly becoming more common ... but I've no idea why it's common for other pools not to have it already though!
The (hack) idea has been around and been used for a quite a while ...

Feature request.

A per user DGM vs PPS.

Simply, show how much you've made mining DGM, and show how much you would have made mining PPS side by side. Maybe just the two numbers, or if you wanted to take it a step further, graphs displaying over time. Line graph would be better then a bar graph I think. I dunno.

Yes I'm aware of this, but I mean one of those per user, and maybe taking it a step further?

maybe, wouldn't really show anything meaningful for anyone but fulltime miners though and they get what that graph shows
