if you didn't hold in your pockets those "scammed" btc taken from those vicious pool-hoppers, but instead distributed them between "fair" users rectroactively after some period of time, say 10 days, probably more people would accept that MaxPPS thing...

I have to agree with this. This is something I never quite wrapped my head around. I like the MaxPPS model except for that one thing.

that wasn't a trollpost?!

Example:
I pool hopper starts mining. Then leaves.
A block is found. He joins back... another block is found. This will fill his "value."

If the pool hopper leaves the pool at this point or changes Bitcoin addresses, he will never be able to collect this "value."

So where does this value go? Who eventually gets this built up value if it is never collected?

I agree with jkminkov that after a period of time (10 - 20 days) the unclaimed value should be redistributed to the rest of other miners that are active.

this applies to all, not pool hoppers alone. the correct term should be addresshopper not pool hopper. the problem is that maxpps creates staying dept.
with prop u work for eligius, this creates dept too, but that is paid every 1btc and fully after one week of inactivity.

with maxpps the dept stays because it's not fully paid out because of the limiting value, and accumulates with every new address. so there needs to be a way that this dept is paid.
u can then implement rules like 1month of inactivity of the address voids the dept(poolowner gets it), but that counteracts the no registration needed, because every time u change ur address u lose a portion of the money still owed to u.

so it will be liek the other pools, if u wanna change ur address, u have to time it quite well that not much btc are left behind.
