I think Pool ops need to add to the User Agreement that users found to be selfish mining forfeit any non-dispersed mining funds and are contractually obligated to return their ill-gotten gains.  Most other users would support this.

The problem is how can you prove it statistically except for looking at massive deviations (like 6 magnitudes off).

I am not totally sure how mining works now, but couldn't a pool spot check miners by giving them work known to contain a valid block solution every now and then? I'd be easy to get evidence this way.

Basically have the pool send work that only needed difficulty 1 to solve?  I guess that could work, but I'm not well versed on the inner workings of nonces and all the stuff... need one of those brainiacs to post on that Tongue

I was thinking send it the same work description which another miner already solved and reported a block on.
