How many blocks has this “failover” gotten compared to his/her rewards. That’s what I’d be most concerned about. Popping in and out is ok but at some point you better stay long enough to provide that pool a block otherwise your leaching off the fact they have a 5nd. That’s why slush does it over one hour. There seems there is no best solution only one in the middle with regards to pool hopping

You can't game PPLNS except in a VERY small way over each diff change - and it's not worth trying since it's such a ridiculously small possible gain.

ALL blocks are random - so you cannot EVER determine in advance how many blocks will be found in the following 5Nd or during any other N range.
Skipping out when luck is low also doesn't work since you don't know when luck will change.
If you decide to skip out 'now' you don't know what the next 5Nd of luck will be and you also don't know what the 5Nd of luck after that will be that you've missed out on by skipping out.

The same is true for everyone who doesn't skip out - so you CAN NOT adversely affect them either.

Read Help->Luck
You can never know future luck or when luck will change.

If luck was always 100%, then you expect, 5Nd after the last share you submitted, to be rewarded X Diff worth of shares for submitting X Diff worth of shares.
What you actually get will be more or less, but depending on the block finding luck - which you CANNOT predetermine or affect in any way
(except by mining and also withholding, which no one with a large hash rate would do unless they were a competitor, since they will lose a lot of BTC by withholding blocks)

Claiming that people may mine here then leave before finding a block, has no effect on the pool luck, so it doesn't matter AT ALL.
We also don't pay block finder fees from everyone else's rewards, that would mean miners will get less, like certain other pools do.
We also don't have a fake fast ramp up, different to the ramp down, like a certain other pool claims to have, that CAN BE gamed.

Ignoring all the above, as for the 64PHs failover, as I said in Discord, I know who it is (and talk to them on occasion) and I know their failover is simply due to problems and thus is clearly a straight forward failover.

Edit: and to completely dash any delusions anyone has about random luck and saying that they could be causing bad luck on the pool, they have found more than twice their expected number of blocks while mining on the pool, since the pool started, with a VERY good CDF[Erl] of 0.010955
