as long as their blocks have a fixed delay from a pre known node it shouldn't be a problem.

i don't know if the pool operators could live with only 50 nodes. as far as i know their goal is to spread new blocks as fast and wide as possible (this counts especially for btcguild as elu pays for invalid blocks and looses money if he has an high invalid rate)

i just try.
i will publish my experience to everyony.

my goal is not to pool hop my self. i want to stop it in the long term. but if we want to stop it we have to understand it completely.

i don't like the idea, that a few "high-minded" people are able to cheat the rest.

everybody could cheat; or nobody: thats what i am trying to archive
