thank you, donschoe, you're really a great help.
i will decrease the payout treshold to 0.5 PTS now (this will kick in with the next payout)
@flower1024:
this would take some time for the implementation & the monitoring is more time intensive. i will think about it, but I have a lot more things on my todo list (including the XPM pool), we'll see.
btw. what exactly do you mean by 'cheaters' ?
- xolokram
pool hoppers
its possile to calculate how much time each share on your pool takes. so you know the average time your pool needs to find a block at any given difficulty.
just mine 41% of this time - then switch to another pool or solo.
as soon as your pool finds a block repeat it again.
i did it with bitcoin a while ago and the effect is that any hopper gets much more and your honest miners suffer from small blocks (and have to do the work on the big blocks alone)
