At this point, I am neither using poclbm-autohop or poclbm at all, so this program is likely to slowly enter a state of bit rot. I will continue to update the API as long as it is feasible to do so, but since pident is seemingly no longer maintained, that may not be as long as we think.

I still find the current methodology interesting, and if proportional pools continue to propagate, I would like to reimagine the implementation. Most likely, I would write a custom (and open source) program to generate the API automatically without reliance on external software like pident, and design it to be non-resource intensive, to allow it to be deployed by multiple people if necessary. The biggest problem is determining what kind of resources are needed to store block information, and whether or not to implement some kind of scoring algorithm. (It's worth investigating, in any case.)

The second component would be a new miner. At this point, it's likely I would attempt to modify cgminer to access the API and use its data. I did a cursory look into what would be needed a couple of months ago, but I suspect cgminer has changed slightly since then. In any case, it's dubious that I'll have the time to get any of this done anytime soon.
