Also, bitcoins-lc recently froze Multiclone's account, along with several days' earnings. I talked with the pool admin, and he refused to send the final payout. His policy is that they don't normally ban pool hoppers since they DO contribute work, but he didn't like that there was a pool devoted to hopping, or something to that effect.

I removed the pool from the rotation. I'm not going to go through the effort of doing anything to circumvent this. If anyone else wants to, I'm willing to integrate whatever you come up with into Multiclone.

Can you post this response (I'm guessing from Jine) on the forums? I'm willing to boycott using them as a pool until they reconsider the payout.

Unfortunately, I didn't save the log. He did copy/paste the relevant part into the main #bitcoins.lc channel thread though, if someone happened to be idling there. There's no #bitcoins-lc log saved on the web anywhere.

After discussing that I had been frozen, how he doesn't normally ban hoppers but is making an exception for us, etc, it basically went like this (from memory):

me: I intend to remove bitcoins-lc from the hopping rotation and don't plan to expend the effort to circumvent the ban. Would you do me a favor, though?
jine: What is it?
me: Will you initiate a payout of the remaining balance on my account, since I can't login to do so?
jine: "No way. :-)"
jine: Those rewards will be used to pay out to the legitimate, non-hopping users of the pool.
me: I see. Note that this is probably going to piss a lot of people off.
jine: Knock yourself out.
