champion proportional pay if you must

bottom line:
If you not hashing fast enough at some point the rate of declineing payoff will exceed the shares your miner can submit and you loose to the big boys (especially when's hard to find a share)

proportional is a crap shoot - was the share you sent "Lucky"
if the pool lasts another 15 min it was worthless

you are better off with a pay per share pool at the end of the day
Waiting for confirmations just to see block invaid -- thats hardly instant payout
and name coin's (pooled mining) for the small guy is just a BAD joke

I jumped back to slush for a few hours today
Guess what less pay than deepbit's paypershare

I'm moving - all you fanboys can do what you want
thanks for the ride
