but but but marty... YOU ARE A HOPPER DEVELOPER!!!
I see you working on the hopper programs.. so what the fuck gives?
Joules - I felt like a dbag more when all the anti-hoppers started jumping on the bandwagon. Really, I had a problem with proxies offering >100% PPS returns and Prop pools switching to PPS to finish a block. Proxies don't mine blocks and thus are not following the PPS payout method and thus not PPS. So, fair-payment (for the miners) advocates who crap all over prop pools might be purchasing a contract and complaining about the hopping on prop pools that they may unknowingly be contributing to... I have a problem with corruption and not capitalism...misleading information on where the hashes go was to me unethical... I am all for hopping and I have fun working on bH while learning python. Truth is I think
http://btcproxy.net is awesome and the contract stuff is a great idea, but felt some pool ops are putting up a PPS or Prop front-end and proxy back-end and it will leave miners in the dark about what is going on... In fact, i just guessed and used the bitclockers crash circumstantial evidence that clipse and goat are hopping with miners hashes. I was trying to prove to the PPS miners that they are hypocrites for joining a, yet to be proved, hopping proxy...
So, I didn't believe clipse business plan to guarantee 115%, hopping only made sense so I accused him of operating a proxy for the 115%, he says no and his miners are satisfied with the answer...if they even cared. Honesty is a value of mine and I though we were being mislead about PPS, again, I must have been wrong
Goat also felt some may be mislead and he set the record straight. I hope he uses bH
GPUMAX was outed by me in error, goat corrected me and I feel stupid
A1 is trying to find a block and is trying to keep a hash rate, but if the pool payout is what it is supposed to be and he pays out his contracts, then we're all good. I am worried that current hash rate is not going to find a block while watering my hashes down in the process. Pool ops correct me if I am wrong on that. Also, I did some work to help miners control when and how they mine at TNTmining and A1 and if pool jacks its miners again, i will feel like a dummy...I was a bitcoin7 member.
The line about killing prop pools was to make the anti-hoppers feel guilty. I agree, if the pool can be hopped...hop it. So, I hope I explained enough to you to see I was just trying to bust a secret and not disparage hopping, however, I used my hopping experiences to add weight my accusations.
Still have a chip on my shoulder about what Eligius did with hashes, I was arguing with Pedro on bitlc's payment change thread and lost my cool, then bitclocker went down, I became pissed off with a cause.
Beef, we cool?
