How will it compete for miners against 0% PPS pools such as btcpool24.com or abcpool.co or BTCServ

Still hoppable. This only changes the hop off point. Give me some time to finish the slush blogs, and I'll make bitcoinpool hoppable again.

After much consideration and review of how our anti-pool hopping system is looked upon by members of the Bitcoin community, we have chosen to change the way in which it is working.

In the Past:
If a user participated in less than 50% of the round, their shares would be reduced by 10%, unless a donation was set, in which case, no penalty was applied.

This allowed for our users with legitimate disconnects, or reasons for being unable to mine during long rounds to avoid being hit with a penalty.

Some people seem to belive that this is a negative aspect of the anti-hopping system due to the easily cheatable nature of the system and the fact that pool hoppers are still given a large incentive to exploit our pool.

From Now on:
If a user participates in less than 50% of the round, their shares will be reduced by 50%, regardless of donation. 50% of the penalty fee will be directed toward the donations account and will be applied to server costs and future monthly contests. The other 50% of the penalty will be removed from the total shares for the round, which will in-hand cause the value of all remaining shares in the round to increase.

Example -

100,000 shares are in the round.

User A has 5000 shares and is NOT a hopper. Their estimated earnings before penalties are applied is 2.5 BTC.

User B has 5000 shares and IS A hopper. Their estimated earnings before penalties are applied is 2.5 BTC.

Once penalties are applied, User B's shares are reduced to 2500 where 1250 has been credited to donations and 1250 has been removed from the round. After the penalty is applied, User B's unconfirmed earnings are 1.265 BTC and User A's unconfirmed earnings are 2.5316 BTC.

At this time, any donation currently set on your account will remain in place. Donations will be processed prior to any penalties. As a reminder, donations are entirely voluntary and are not required to use this pool.

We will use this new method of calculating penalties for a one week trial period, at which time we will decide whether or not it is effectively deterring pool hopping and effectively rewarding loyal members of the pool.

Because this pool has temporary bad luck , means its the best time to jump in  

Well,   Its not exactly Mathematically based...  more a feeling...  

BTC guild had a patch of very bad luck..close to -50% over a period of time.
I moved to them and had a nice amount of extra btc because of  swing in the luck to the positive.

cuqa, while i truly appriciate your acitivity in this thread, i would suggest that you take your nonsense somewhere else, so we can keep this thread for people actually mining on our pool.

As noted on the official bitcoin wiki's, all shares and block information is public available so that accusations by morons like yourself would have no impact on the pool.

naja, ohne jetzt selbst zu wissen was hier sache ist oder nicht, finde ich es denke ich mal normal, wenn der lebenspartner verstirbt, dass man erstmal ein paar tage wichtigeres zu tun hat als Bitcoin. Abgesehen davon möchte ich doch mal dazu aufrufen, dass das ganze speziell von den Forennutzern ein wenig sachlicher gehalten wird. wir alle wissen nicht, ob opschinken wirklich verstorben ist oder nicht, aber wenn er tatsächlich verstorben ist, dann ist mindestens die hälfte der posts in diesem thread wirklich weit unter der gürtellinie.

Kann sich ja jeder selbst denken, was solche posts dann für ein licht auf die community werfen!

you have some screen capt to sustain that ?
