I don't think so, although maybe one ds is giving you a luckier seed? But my theory is that some trainer's shiny values are luckier than others. Like you hear about some people getting tons of shinies through either MM or friend safari, while others have to search/breed for hours on end. I think I'm one of the ones in the latter group.

got shiny charm about a week ago. i'd love to help. is it okay if i switch the pokemon i breed?? for instance i started research with absol. hatched shiny at 126 out of 136 eggs i had so i went to riolu. is this okay as long as i still meet my pledge?
after 270 eggs, i still haven't gotten a shiny. i did, however change up the Pokemon in the daycare frequently, so i dunno how that would affect the data. if it does, i hatched 2 seperate batches of 90 (180 eggs) and the rest were separate batches of 30.
I think it's fine if people switch their targets, as long as they end up with the same number of eggs as previously pledged.

thnks for the help :)
Another thing I was wondering was, do the number of steps you have on your 3DS influence how likely you are to encounter a shiny? I have no evidence other than that o-powers are affected by it, but I just thought it might be a possibility.
Pledging batches of 100 until they get a shiny is not bad. If, say, you have a goal of 1 million eggs and get people to pledge batches of 100 until they get a shiny (and having those people keep pledging until we hit 1 million), that would be no different then getting a thousand people pledging one batch of 1,000 eggs each. When each person stops has no effect on the results, given enough people hatching enough eggs. 50,000 eggs is enough for quitting after hatching a shiny to not matter. As long as shiny chance is the same for different players, it should be just as accurate either way.
I updated it on my spreadsheet, but I won't post a pic right now.
I'm almost to 2K and still stuck at 5 shinies
dont say "stuck". those are still good odds
Just finished my 4th batch of 120 eggs, so I'm sitting at 480 eggs with no shiny. Wow, I knew 1/433 was totally wrong. Either that or my luck totally sucks.
Finally, my shiny froakie hatched on the 1299th egg. But only with torrent ability.
Next I will pledge 1000 eggs for beldum.

The MM rate is already known, so data without the shiny charm isn't really needed.
Updated my original post (+100 eggs, no shiny).
May I suggest making a google doc? That way people can update it themselves.
