Does the number of shares reset if you start and stop the miner. Also how is the number of coins determined by the shares. Are the coins shared between all the miners in the pool when a block is found or can one miner get more than another miner. Also, am I too late to mine, or am I in this early?

Are the coins shared between all the miners in the pool when a block is found or can one miner get more than another miner. Also, am I too late to mine, or am I in this early? Not sure about the number of shares when you start and stop the miner....but it does not really matter. The shares (groups of hashes called results) are sent to the pool for the current block on which you are working. The entire network is working on the same block at the same time. When one of the pools finds a block the entire Electroneum network of miners and pools starts working on the next block until it is hashed as well...and the process repeats This happens every few minutes or even seconds depending on how lucky the pool is on a given block. If you have goodluck...you get a block fast...it takes less hashes then the expected amount of hashes (This number is found under network difficulty on any mining pool page) If you have bad luck it takes more than the expected amount of hashes to mint a block. The coins from the block your pool finds are shared between all the miners in the pool according to the number of hashes you have contributed to mining that block and that block alone. One miner can get more than another miner if they have more hashpower. (Hashes = the number of guesses your CPU or GPU has contributed to solving the block.) You are not too late to mine. But it begs the question...what is the best strategy for maximum coin. If you hang out in a big mining pool...you will receive consistent but VERY SMALL rewards split with thousands of miners. If you hang out in a smaller pool....you will receive less consistent (fewer) rewards that are much larger split with fewer miners. I have tried both. The most important thing is that you increase your hashpower as much as possible to see bigger rewards. The bigger your hashpower...the more coins you will be able to mine in any pool...big or small.

shares stay on the pool, they don't reset!

they stay on the blockchain, not the pool or am I wrong?
