according to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=104664.0 this pool does not do DGM, slush said he was going to implement DGM many months ago - but never did

Hello Graet,

thank you for your correction. DGM was the name for slush's payment method that I found in a note to the pool. I always wondered whether this was really true as it didn't match with other statements in the forum.

In the forum notes I found, nobody ever gave a name to the method applied but I think one may call it Raulo's method, exponentially weigthed payout, "slush exponentially scored mining" or the cooperative sharing method. If there is a name to it, I would be glad to know it. Slush exponentially scored, as in your reference, is not too helpful in my opinion.

slush invented the not quite hopper proof payout system and only 2 pools use it, Slush exponentially scored is as accurate a name as any (I do not choose the names for payout systems)
DGM is very different to slush's method.
