You see, we do not allow pool-hopping pools nor huge botnets on our pool. (We've written this multiple times on our twitter, and I KNOW that you're aware of it, since you're doing your best to avoid protections for that)

I stopped hashing for bitlc a few days ago. As you can see in your logs, I did not run a botnet. Botnets are pure evil and can bring a pool down fast.

I am a pool hopper though. I understand that a proportional pool wants to deter pool hoppers, but be clear about it. Put it in the terms of service, mention it during registration, in a faq. Maybe even enforce it by blocking workers from connecting.

Can you point out where on your site you inform people that payouts are withheld for pool hoppers? I cannot find it. I also just searched the forum and your Twitter account for the word 'hop'. No results at all on Twitter. Burried in 56 pages of messages in this forum thread I managed to find these messages:

I would however suggest you guys that ARE pool hopping to stop it, not because I'm going to ban you nor steal anything, it may have been the wrong choice - but only for the sake of the pool.
More people ACTUALLY mining means faster blocks, which means a more stable pool and a lot more reason for me to act up and evolve it to something more then just a pool.

Is this a policy to disallow hoppers?

The payments for your account(s) will remain disabled until we're done with that. ABCPool and other pool-hopping pool is affected by this.

I have contributed lots of blocks to bitlc. As it stands now you have been holding my bitcoins hostage for more than a week under the pretence of a 'wallet switch'.

Do you have an estimate for when the payouts will be done?

Sorry for the late response tho, seems like the update notifications for this thread bugs every now and then.

That's OK; the forum software is indeed a bit buggy sometimes.
