Well I've seriously been contemplating the actual effectiveness of the Proportional Payout mode on Deepbit. Who uses it? How much do you get paid per M/Hash (or another comparable figure)? Is it really worth it for the little guys, such as >1G/h?

Thanks!

A lot of people use it.  You get paid proportionally to what you put in, it's different for everyone.  Proportional takes a 3% fee, whereas PPS takes a 10% fee.  Some pools have 0% proportional and PPS, look around.  Also, I think you meant < 1 Gh/s and it doesn't really matter either way, just don't solo mine if you want quick returns Tongue

Okay, so from what you're saying, the obvious truth that regardless of your payout speed, it is the same amount. Even with the proportional. Thanks for pointing out my Hash abbreviation error. I seem to do that a lot.

Beyond the hash abbreviation, was the greater than sign.  Hopefully that doesn't happen often too !

Oh my, that scares me... Thanks for pointing that out... I've decided I'm going to try it on a smaller pool, and thus increase my percentage.
