For those who don't know too much about pool payout methods Smiley

... be aware that a "weighted score" payout scheme like Slush's is hoppable:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.msg1146110#msg1146110
The new method (as of a couple of years ago) is a scored PPLNS, which does make it unhoppable now.
Actually not; if you read the fine print, you get paid based on "scoring hash rate" at the time of block. If you catch the tail end of a block @ slush and your "scoring hash rate" is up to your actual, you get paid as if you submitted full shares the entire time.


and the opposite is also true with slush.  Someone could be at their full hash rate and working for a long time on a long a block, but if they drop out before the last 1hr and 40 mins or so. Then they get nothing if there scoring hash rate is back down to zero at the time the block is done. No matter how much work was submitted before that last hour and 40 mins it takes to drop to zero hash rate.
