With proportional you have a 'clean slate' after each round.
With shared MaxPPS you potentially accumulate a big 'debt' across many rounds. Which, of course, would average out eventually, but people may not want to stick around that long.

That's a misconception you have. With either proportional (current method) or SMPPS, the pool will not pay out more than it has actually earned. The difference is davka on shorter rounds, where the proportional method pays out immediately, whereas the SMPPS holds some of the funds until longer rounds. This is precisely how it deals with pool-hopping, BTW.

So, if there is any 'debt' in comparison with the current method, it's actually only accumulated on shorter rounds, and payed back on longer ones.

Hope this clarifies.

So you may potentially be setting yourself up for a dead pool if a long dry spell hits.

What am I missing?

That is true for the current proportional method, as well as for solo mining. And if it was not, then the pool operator would take the risk on himself, with such low fees, and then you would definitely be left without a pool..

I don't understand if that method deals with pool hopping at all
if not, Multipool will be happy with this

The whole point of this discussion was that the old method is susceptible to pool-hopping, so yes, all the methods suggested above deal with it.

I registered well over a month ago! You can look at my 2 perfectly legitimate previous posts for reference. Now I wish to comment on Luke-Jr's new MaxPPS system in the Eligius thread. Thanks!

Seen on BCM homepage:

2011-6-7 BMBTC/PPUSD Update

We were able to seize about 5 BTC from the fraudulent accounts. This is roughly equivalent to the sum of the transaction fees charged on these trades. Therefore, we've decided to issue transaction fee refunds on all fraudulent transactions. We realize this is a small compensation, but it is the fairest form of distribution that we can imagine. Members should see the deposit in their account in the next couple of days.

Thought you would like to know.

My 6990 is overheating while mining, even though I haven't overclocked it yet, any ideas why is it ?

What are your temperatures ?

I am getting very similar results with poclbm here (Ubuntu 11.04 x86_64, Catalyst 11.5, APP SDK 2.4, with stock settings no O/C):

Code:

$ nice -n 19 python poclbm.py -u u --pass=p -o example.com -p 8332 -r 2 -d 1 -f 1
...
340516 khash/s

Code:

$ aticonfig --odgt --adapter=all

Adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 6990
Sensor 0: Temperature - 100.50 C

Adapter 1 - AMD Radeon HD 6990
Sensor 0: Temperature - 89.50 C

Code:

$ aticonfig --odgc --adapter=all

Adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 6990
   Core (MHz) Memory (MHz)
   Current Clocks : 830 1250
   Current Peak : 830 1250
  Configurable Peak Range : [500-1200] [1250-1500]
   GPU load : 97%

Adapter 1 - AMD Radeon HD 6990
   Core (MHz) Memory (MHz)
   Current Clocks : 830 1250
   Current Peak : 830 1250
  Configurable Peak Range : [500-1200] [1250-1500]
   GPU load : 99%

I keep the first core on `-f 60` (335211 khash/s) to get more responsiveness from the desktop, and it gets hotter nonetheless, I guess because it's the one farther from the rear of the case.
