PPS payed by gpumax is much higher than by deepbit, for exapmple
From the original post:
For Miners - Free
Manage your miner(s) on our website
Manage and track pools, shares, speeds and public work income. (See Below)
Lease your miner(s) to others earning additional income by setting a PPS price on your account that we pay directly to you when we use your miner(s) for public work sold through the website.
You will never make less than mining on your own.
Paid for public work with Bitcoins.
Unless the OP is outdated, it seems as though each miner can decide what PPS fee they want to set. Obviously, they won't sell their hashes very often if they set it too high, but that's why I am wondering whether the PPS rate fluctuates with difficulty at all. I would hate to set it to a certain amount, then have difficulty go down and I make less on the PPS route than I would have without dabbling in PPS.
He means it's currently much higher than expected PPS if you do the math for how much a share is worth on average. Sure, if difficulty changes significantly, the going rate may change, but this is more of a market where you choose what you want and buyers either pay your fee, or your shares get passed through to your "private" pool.
*sigh*
What is "it"? The current rate at which buyers are willing to pay? Or something else? Because as far as I can tell, miners set their own PPS fee. I don't know what you mean when you say "it" is currently much higher than expected PPS. I don't know what "it" means, or at what price, or if people are buying/not buying at that price.
Also, that is kind of my point. If the rate that buyers are willing to buy at is 10% above calculated PPS, then I want my fee to automatically change whenever difficulty changes so I can keep my fee at 10% above calculated PPS. Can GPUMax do this, or not? I thought this would be a simple question... You seem to imply that this cannot be done, but I still don't know for sure. If not, the service is rather useless to me, since I don't want to have to worry about forgetting to reset my PPS fee every time the difficulty changes. So, if not, then I would heavily suggest that GPUMax DOES implement a PPS fee setting for miners based on percentage above/below calculated PPS.
