 The $n means the pool rewards $t times the expected number of shares, each time a block is found.<br>
 So each share will be paid approximately $ot of it's expected value, in each block it gets a reward,<br>
 but each share is also expected, on average, to be rewarded $t times in blocks found after the share is submitted to the pool.<br>
