Sorry, Tobin, hoppers only.

Although I am not actively contributing to this thread, I am nonetheless a hopper (I even use my own hopper, which I have written long before bitHopper started to exists).
Is there some kind of examination which one has to pass  .

Not really    But hoppersden is for info we don't really want leaked

I saw you've been a forumite since early June and you've never posted anything anti-hopper (harrumph, Magnet  ) so get in a few posts here and someone will send you an invite soon.

Yeh, odd. I'm message myself and see if he knows what is going on. Maybe  I missed some option to make it public

So it seems I have to share my secret knowledge with you all .

One small contribution:
As most of you know, Bitcoinpool has wrong JSON stats. I have seen that bitHopper uses the round duration and the pool speed to approximate the current share number. A somewhat cheaper (in terms of bandwidth) and maybe more exact method is the following:
Grab the account info of an arbitrary user in json-format, e.g. http://bitcoinpool.com/user.php?u=cristy&json=1 .
You see his submitted shares and his estimated rewards for this round. You can get the approximated number of roundshares easily by

appr_shares = 50*(submitted shares)/(estimated rewards)

Example:
submitted: 14670
estimated: 0.52180054

appr_shares = 1405709.55

This method can be made even more exact if you know how much the user donates.
Maybe it is worth it to be added to bitHopper.

So simple, yet obvious in hindsight. Nice one!

While we're on the bcp subject, any ideas how to get around the IP blocking (for the stats, can still send through shares ok)? I'd just use hotspot shield and then set the url to be localhost:895 but hotspot shield is not available for linux. Know any handy (easy, free) browser based proxy/vpn? All the ones I looked at cost money, weren't available for linux or had no english translation.

Fixed, I think. I hit 'draft' instead of 'publish'. Duh. Mind checking to see if it worked?

c00w, seem to be having a problem with the latest gitpull. BH got stuck on "Writing to database" kept looping that over and over. Running it with no flags

I posted this exact method a few days ago and nobody seemed to mather

I got the same problem as @kbsbtc, BH just freeze the stats page and keep showing "writing to database", miner dies and have to close and run it again.. (v0.2.2.4-68 with --auth --p2pLP and OldDefaultScheduler)

Also getting a lots of "Not enough votes in one direction to make a decision"

and also I send my firsts shares to BtcGuild

The real poll must be: "do you think BMU pool ops are ethical?" :p

LOTS of problems with that pool since ever... close it down, is a fail after fail after fail heheh

[ewibit]

The real poll must be: "do you think BMU pool ops are ethical?" :p

all my shares from the _old_ pool are away 

[hawks5999]

The poll is pointless. If enough people say it's ethical does BMU turn off their hopper-cheating mechanism or if enough people say hopping is unethical will he just keep cheating hoppers?

I doubt the former will happen and the latter will happen regardless. When you have an unethical pool operator who has no qualms with cheating a portion of his clients, there is really no limit to how unethical he'll be.
