Don't think so. AFAIK the transfer of the complete URL is already encrypted.
The other way someone could take a guess at which address was yours was if they knew what hashrate you were hashing at. If that were the case then they could merely visit http://eligius.st/~wizkid057/newstats/topcontributors.php and work out which one was yours.

That's easy to defeat.  Use more than one address! Smiley

Back pay rises as sqrt(n) / n, so for 2 addresses it rises twice as fast.


How's that?  My understanding is that back pay (which I'm assuming you're using to refer to either the shelving of shares, or the payment of previously shelved shares -- if you're referring to something else here, please clarify) simply goes on a share-by-share basis and has nothing to do with which account a share is under.  If I submit 1000 shares under Account A, and 500 of them are shelved, that's the same as submitting 500 shares (250 shelved) under Account B and 500 shares (250 shelved) under Account C.  The order in which the shares go into the system is the only thing that matters.  Assuming that hashpower is equally divided between Accounts B and C, and thus they are both submitting shares with approximately the same frequency, I don't see how one's overall payout would be affected by splitting up in this way.  (Aside from the payment queue, which of course is managed on an account-by-account basis.)

There was an analysis and also a simulation a few weeks back.  The conclusion seemed to be the sqrt(n) / n growth in time.  If you split the account in two, that would be 2 * ( sqrt(n/2) / (n/2) ).
