if everyone moved all the mining power they have over and get this block killed it has to be almost dead we are almost at 2.2 mil shares
Deepbit had a 16mil block...
Blocking poolhoppers as a small pool isn't smart... At the start of a block, people see the high Ghash rating of your pool and that attracks people.
Now you will be stuck on ~10Ghash/s forever...
When a miner at your pool did 120,000 shares, you can't just say "oh sorry, you left for 12 hours so I decrease your shares"... Shares are shares... If you say "I pay prop", you pay prop...
I'm not saying this to defend "poolhoppers" only, there are people who don't hop and did a lot of shares for this block and if they can't mine for a while you can't just steal there shares... That's what it is...
And if you change these kind of things, tell it in advance... Don't change/tell new rules during a game...
I like what you did to the "old miners" and their shares but this disapoints me... And reading the other responses, I'm not the only one...
