It's not cheating. It's stealing. If you pool hop you are stealing from the people who use the pool in the intended way.

Use this as a learning experience. A sense of entitlement does not actually entitle you to anything. Life in the real world isn't much different than this, so learn quickly. Now, if you actually understood what stealing was, you would know that hoppers are being paid their fair share and those who don't hop are being paid their fair share. You may not think it's fair, but the specifications for the compensation method state that it is. Nobody is depriving anyone of what is rightfully theirs. Maybe it's just that you aren't very good at this game and are annoyed that you didn't find out how to play better than some other kids on the block first, so you're hiding behind a slightly twisted morality instead of just doing a little math.

The intended way to use this pool goes like this: voluntarily contribute your processing power in units called shares and receive proportional payment for them. Hopping is built into it because the compensation method is broken, according to you. You just don't like the pool rules, are too territorial, and have an overactive pack mentality. Puberty is a bitch. Now, this game is being run more like a casino. The rules are set in place, but the casino makes a few extra rules on top of those, targeting a small class of winners (i.e., persecution), to "level the playing field" for the dummies and those just out to "have some fun". Since some people can count cards, they gets their fingers broken. This is like kind of like delayed stats. Everyone pays because the rules are bad and those who are better at the game don't make the casino a nice place for retards. It's a huge step back from a meritocratic system. It will be lovely and enjoyable for everyone when it turns into a *real* slush pool flooded with redneck AOL/geocities types who can't figure out which port on their computer the bitcoins are going to come out of.

Awe... Somebody needs a nap (as in you). Did someone take your binkey away? Sound's like you are the one having a temper tantrum now that you are no longer getting your way. I bet for you Puberty is a bitch (as in you are still going through it).
