If you're not happy with the one-sided PPS and your miners aren't happy with the system either, then why do we have it in place?
People weren't happy with proportional either. "One-sided PPS" is only a
practical reality right now-- the actual
policy is straight MaxPPS. The 40% implemented is the bare minimum needed to make the adjustment retroactive.
Can you give an ETA for when the full system will be implemented? Perhaps a promise that the withheld earnings will be paid back if the system isn't implemented by that date?
As the donations have been much less than even covering the costs of running the pool, let alone my expenses of time spent writing code, I cannot guarantee any ETA. I'm doing this basically free of charge, so for the most part it has to live in my "free time". If you want to change that, feel free to help the donation address grow to a reasonable size to cover my expenses, and then I can justify spending more "time I'm doing paid work" on it. My
guess as to completion, is maybe 30 hours of work. If this is done in my spare time, it might be 1-2 weeks. In reality, USA will probably run out of disk space within a few days, so I need to hurry regardless.
As it stands, the MaxPPS system just puts an upper limit on miners' payouts. Sure, pool-hopping has been eliminated, but you've also reduced the award to legitimate miners. Kind of defeats the purpose.
With MaxPPS, the overall payout should be the same as proportional to legitimate miners.
I had just started with Eligius and was happy with it so far, but for now I'm switching back to my second choice pool. Nothing personal, once you get the long blocks making up the difference I'll be happy to come back.
You're welcome to use the Europe pool (which remains proportional) in the meantime.
