Have you decided what payout system you're switching to

I like proportional but that's just me

I like the cheat-proof scoring we're using now.

Also, you aren't actively mining at this pool, so why would it matter to you? Do you think proportional scoring is so much better that you'd mine here if this pool used that payout scheme? Just curious...

Well, I know it would attract more pool hoppers, which is more hashing power, but they will devalue the payout when it is in their interest.
Right, that's pretty much what I was implying. Proportional is good for pool hoppers. Cheat-proof is good for everybody else. If you're mining 24/7 you need to either be a hopper or be in a non-proportional pool (since you'll lose money due to the hoppers over the long run in a proportional pool).

Do you really think being a proportional pool would add a lot of hashing power SC (at least at the beginning of rounds)? Maybe I'm underestimating the number of hoppers...
