If a person is in search of better uptime, they select the pool with the highest reliability. Multipool would at best only be as good as its own uptime
True, but in order to be a ddos target you have to be big. Because you're mining big pools, but don't need to be big yourself, you aren't a ddos target. Well, not for that reason anyway.
You retain the low variability advantage of the big pools, without the ddos disadvantage of being a big target. If you weren't pool hopping at all, you might not ever face being a target - unless your subscriber base got too big.
Regardless, until people start taking pool hopping seriously and start to target you, I'd expect you to have better uptime than any of the large pools.
BTW I gave the pool a spin, and got efficiency of 1.4 - so it works, all you doubters! And *sigh* yes, it works, all you who knew it would and fear the worst.
Multipool, a quick fyi - I notice that the results from btcmine were changing from 'pending' to being zeroed out, and then only 10 - 30 mins later showing the actual results. This was also affecting the page top stats for a while too. Screen scraping issue? Otherwise it was all simple and easy.
OK, funs over, back to eclipsemc (free plug for inaba's mine, you gotta try out the best mine with distributed servers that pool across AU, EU, and US - not separately!)
