Proportional, not score-based? Sigh, guess I'm stuck on Slush where people can't steal from me.

I should write a pool hopper and join the ranks of the thieves.

I don't understand. How would switching pools work in your favor?

Here is the original discussion of the problem and the solution of score-based distribution.

Here is a thread discussing whether the problem actually exists, including - spoiler - someone who posts anonymously confirming that the problem exists and he exploits it for large gain.

I can make an extra 30% off any pool that doesn't use score-based. Bitcoinpool.com refused to believe that the problem exists at all, but then implemented an anti-pool-hopping system that doesn't actually solve the pool hopping problem and punishes legitimate users instead, because they noticed that their hashrate went from 25Ghash at the beginning of a round to 9 at the end.

That 30% comes from somewhere. Hint: it's your wallet.

Friends don't let friends do proportional payout.

I am on the verge of writing my own pool hop exploit. Maybe I'll even opensource it so everyone can do it.
