People seem to be against HU (according to the polls)

But nobody's willing to say why; makes me wonder if it's just the trolls who want Eligius dead.

Shame on you for saying "trolls" and "wanting eligius dead" in the same breath as you quoted me.

I didn't know you voted "dislike Hu", nor did I meant to imply you were a troll (I wouldn't have responded at all if I thought you were).

For starters, Eligius-HU is largely undocumented, and not explained well in the OP.

What is the size of a share anyway? How many hashes is that?

I ask because the entire bitcoin network is usually between 7k and 8k blocks per month, of which, eligius only finds 100 or so... how does this arbitrary value of "8x difficulty" fit in for our rate if we suddenly mine more or less percentage of the bitcoin network's blocks?

The OP tries to explain it in language everyone can understand. It sounds like you want some low-level technical details here... but those aren't entirely worked out yet.

The current "second proposal" doesn't really explain the math which will determine the size of the window over which each miner's recent shares are counted for the purpose of payouts.

Huh?

This last concern ties in with my first new question -- Eligius-HU system is going to arbitrarily change the size of a share to be dynamic based on hash-rate, so that nobody's math will be able to know what is going on with the new algorithm.

Where's the question?

...the decision has basically already been made. This is just to justify the decision.

Yeah well it's not working. People seem to be against HU (according to the polls)

What I meant was that the votes don't seem to be justifying the change(s) after the fact (was that really the plan?)

imsaguy's post is an example of a troll I ignored. I figured the troll nature of it should have been obvious considering he said the same nonsense about wizkid057's last poll too.
