.00001670349 x 2694047.952955 = 45.000
So that means they are charging 10% for PPS - sounds about right.
Edit: and .0000184377 × 2440642.606916 = 45.000 also ...

Care to explain WTF you said
The PPS rate is based on the difficulty.
The difficulty changed at block 197568 to 2694047.952955
What that means is that you have to mine (on average) 2694047.952955 difficulty 1 shares to find a block.
Since a block is made up (on average) of 2694047.952955 difficulty 1 shares and is worth 50 BTC, then each share (without fees) is worth 50/2694047.952955 = 0.000018559 BTC
The number of shares you find does not drop, the value of the shares drops.
You have been mining 1 difficulty shares ... always ... so no change in the average rate you find shares.
To reverse that you multiply the PPS rate times the difficulty to work out how much the pool is paying ...
.00001670349 x 2694047.952955 = 45.000 BTC
Thus the pool is paying 45BTC per block (PPS) = 10% fee
So it all makes sense.
so what you are saying as difficulty changes the number of share's per found bock is constant ??
It's just the pay per share changes
I thought you found less shares with increased difficulty NOT they were just worth less
EDIT
I think I just got it... difficulty increases ... it takes MORE shares to find a block (pays the same coins)
you still mine the same number of shares (a constant for your hardware...same hash rate)
but it's more shares to get the same payout
THANKS to all of you that convoluted the explanations with BS
