So why did you resurrect a dead thread on cheating?? Most pools conteract this...

I was thinking about what is the most "fair" reward system. I was interested on what others have written about the topic. Meni's paper on the topic (which I have yet to finish reading) struck me as more deep and thorough.

I am not sure if I would call it cheating. In the case of Teracoins, some kind of algorithm that makes hash rates more even would actually benefit the entire community.

I'm not sure how your last comment relates to the strategy suggested by Raulo in his paper.

Terracoin retargets it's difficulty on each block (unless it changed its algorithm recently: the dev has already pulled a 24h mandatory update out of his hat forking the chain like that). Some people are mining Terracoin only when it's more profitable than other coins: this has similar effects than the ones happening when a pool is hoppable...
