Sorry, proportional is the only fair mining method. A share is a share, no matter when it is submitted.

Why do you pay them differently then?

Anyways, at least you give a bit of challenge...

By the way, real pool DDoSing is done differently, but I won't give any hints here, because THAT would really hurt your pool I guess.

Paid differently? Not sure i follow, every share is worth the same. The other payout methods pay people differently....

Obviously its not a ddos, but it fits the definition spare the ill intent. Hence the quotes.

As a pool operator you should really have a better understanding of the probabilities involved in this.

In proportional payout structures, every share in one round is worth the same. Shares from different rounds are not. This is the very aspect that makes hopping work.
