So I am seeing something that I find very strange. Quite a few users have almost no shares at all, but have a huge share value. Now since the most points that you can get from a share is 100 - and that is for an 11 chain which is very rare. More likely you would get 80 or 16 points for a block.
If you are user xpm12 with 79 shares and 704 points, that means you must have found at least 7 blocks in the last 80 blocks that were found. Yet when I look through the last 6 pages of blocks that were found, user xpm12 has not found any of them. That doesn't seem right.
Then take user ssfnwfn with 84 shares and 542 points. Same thing, but at least 5 blocks right? This looks a bit better because ssfnwfn found one in the last 6 pages. But still seems very odd.
Take a look at other users with thousands of shares and they have a much more reasonable ratio of share count to share value - and have actually found blocks.
This started happening a few days ago - well at least I started noticing it a few days ago. Have people found a way to cheat the pool?
The new experimental miner that came out a few days does not report Shares, only ShareValue. (Unless you find a 9-chain).
While i don't know for sure, looks like he was running something like that.
