Use google or the search function here, you already know the search term "pool hopping"...
We really don't need another thread coming up with this, can't you just start a "I BOUGHT 5 6990 GPUS, WHERE'S MY FREE MONEY?!" thread like every other kiddie here?

Already did the good ol' "site:forum.bitcoin.org pool hopping" thing. None of the threads I read were definitive - just more "I think it's bad" or "that's cheating." There's some math in a few threads that doesn't seem to work out...
Most of these topics are ancient in internet-years (since February) and many of the pools seem to have implemented all sorts of new fangled stuff. As I mentioned, I got a more consistent payout with no more/less work, but I certainly didn't make a lot (and even made less when pools got "lucky").
If it's acceptable, then there's no reason I shouldn't be able to release a proxy that round-robin's getwork requests. It could be a simple solution to the nonsense "51%!!!111@" threads but I don't want to get accused of "cheating my moneyz!"
I've been trying to figure out what pool hopping is myself. Couldn't find some definition in the forums or on google
