What's really frustrating is how much hate is directed against such a small slice of the mining pie.  Only about 300 Gigahash is hoppers out of 13 terahash total mining.  It's less than 3% of the miners!  And all these pool ops are wasting coding time trying to hurt us by obfuscating stats.  For some I believe this is just a smokescreen for their coding time spent on block stealing algorithms.

You guys are the only ones even trying to keep them honest by predicted/figuring out which pool found which block.  If that problem can be solved, then the pool op block stealing will stop.
