PPLNS does have the disadvantage of causing bloated sized wallets which result in high transaction fees.
sorry what? that isn't true. that's what p2pools do - a ton of micro transactions. PPS & PPLNS don't have anything to do with micro transactions unless you have an automatic withdrawal set to like 0.5-1 coins which is a bad decision anyway.

Agreed!

That aside, is PPLNS just chosen because its generally the default of the software thats out there, or do miners/pool ops still see a benefit in it for these fast generated coins?
sure they do!
imagine a fast round of like 50-100 shares. slow miners will get nothing for that in proportional scheme. but with pplns, they'll constantly have a fair reward no matter how fast a block was solved.

I think you mean p2pools not PPLNS. There are ways to deal with the micro payments to where you don't have to pay any (or little) transaction fees. I was just reading about it yesterday on the litecoin forum from that high profile developer they brought on board to work on litecoin.

The same developer is working with p2pool code. Same dev who helped sort out the stratum code issues other pools had.

Let me know if you cant find the link and I'll search for it.

your talking about potential benefits of p2pool in general. I'm just taking about using PPLNS as a payout strategy, for a coin that has a target rate of blocks every 20 seconds.

Edit: and in reply to the generic p2pool points, none of them seem all that beneficial aside from "No single point of failure in the pool (when p2pools are connected)".  That one is pretty great.  The rest are debatable/marginal at best, but to each their own. Everyone has their own preferences.

Is there a large benefit to pplns in general with such a fast coin?

I posted this earlier but here it is again:

  • Transaction Fees given to Miners as a REWARD
  • Instant payout when a block is found
  • No coins stored on pool server (dependent on pool operators configuration)
  • Maintain your PPLNS level switching between connected p2pools
  • No account registration or passwords to remember

Added to that list that it is much harder for the pool operator to cheat miners.

Also,

  • No single point of failure in the pool (when p2pools are connected)
  • There are small statistical advantages increasing income vs traditional pools

These are all small pools and a great way to spread the hashrate around.  Great alternatives to the mega pools out there.  If they are smaller pools and use pplns it could take awhile to pay but be patient.  

Help make Digicoin a more stable network, spread the hash!

We are currently looking at changing the PPLNS window from up to 24 hours to maybe 1 hour.

The obvious benefit for new miners is you will reach your maximum payout very quickly. Miners that have been on the pool over 24 hours may not like this as they are not rewarded as much for staying on the pool. Also, once you stop mining the pool you will not continue to get paid up to 24 hours later.

24 hours works well for the larger BTC and LTC p2pools since you have so many options and can switch without loosing your PPLNS but since DGC p2pools are mostly operating independently perhaps the PPLNS window should be reduced.

Thoughts?
how would we reduce that did you find out ?

Just as a reminder, I will generate vanity addresses for people using DGC. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=225680.0/ Just make sure you have the PUBLIC key to an address you also have the PRIVATE key to. I don't need the PRIVATE key, but you will.
