Hi! Since you removed RBPPS from FTC pool, is it your general attitude towards RBPPS, does it mean you will eventually remove it on other pools? What was the reason you've removed RBPPS from FTC pool?
Can you offer a round length-based block reward with PPLNS option? Currently BTG and FTC pools display a fixed block reward on the statistics page, does it mean PPLNS option works the same way like on other pools? Your pool is unique in that it offers RBPPS system. My idea is maybe you could combine the two? Calculate the share based on PPLNS, but use RBPPS block rewards. PPLNS 1% fee is very good, RBPPS 2-3% does not look very tempting.
FTC pool and FTC network are very specific. There are very high spikes of hashrate on other pools, blocks are then solved very quickly and to be honest it is quite difficult for our pool to know current real difficulty.
Therefore we decided to remove RBPPS from FTC pool.
Actually RBPPS is avilable together with RBPPS on many our pools: ETH, ETH, DASH, ZEC.
2% for RBPPS is absolute possible minimum to run pool in long period of time without getting bankrupted.
