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?
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.
