If your in slush's pool you could've been mining since about 730 on this almost legendary 12 hr block and most of your shares would've decayed to zero worth.  So what's the worth in that, I thought the pool was supposed to pay you on the work you do not if you get lucky and contribute within the last 20 mins quite heavily.

hashes rejected are only a tiny percentage

You should switch from pplns to pps (in workers menu ) if you want a number more consistent, but fees are higher.
Of course it won't be 1100 in that case, more like 900 I guess, there's no miracle ^^
probably better choice anyway if you don't mine 24/7 / do something else with the computer


mmmh, edit too, on second thought  Cheesy : taking my pplns/pps crappy scenario back, it shouldn't change number of shares , only the payment  based on those shares would have more variance on PPLNS

I'm not sure it's normal then, I only have a 7950, but I have a 25% shares amplitude, nothing that large...

There is a difference between the numbers of hashes you produce and the number of hashes accepted. you get shares for accepted hashes.

Also if you are talking about PPLNS, there is no set time when shift is closed but the amount of shares (~10M in BTCguild). so you might get different ammount of shares for every shift.

Mine moves from 800 to 1000 shares a shift, Usually at night i get more.

My hashrate stays pretty consistent, but the number of shares I get fluctuate quite a bit.
Anywhere from 600 shares to 1100 shares in a session.
I'm pool mining at BTCGuild with a averyage hash rate of 2GH/s

Is this typical?  Any ideas?
