Just to keep discussion running,
1) This can only be done on the pool level, but as you probably know, I have no relations neither to ypool nor to its owners. I act on my own.
4) Sounds reasonable, but there are two concerns: a) reconnects - just wasting mining time, though negligible, too, but I shall think about that. b) there are anyway screams of me being too greedy - which I simply do not understand.
5) Yes, the miner only. Pure scientific interest. Yes I do have a lot of spare time. I do not comment more in public neither or motivation, nor other issues related to the miner.

P.P.S. Yes, it is. But I bet the pure interest of using the miner is just economics behind performance gain, that are easy to calculate. On the other hand, if one will decide not to use the program, there is no way to force. And no need to.
And I appreciate your way of thinking on pay-as-long-as-you-use-it. Makes sense. I shall sleep with the idea.
