As I said it favors the smaller miners, the ones with the big hashes would be better off solo mining.
Orphans with such a small network of clients (~60 for RIC) and adequate hash power are highly unlikely.
I've been solo mining for months now and had not a single orphan.

P.S.: I would recommend to boycott riepool because it is a closed source project. This is not in the spirit of an open and sharing community. Further down the road we will end up in a ypool scenario: Nearly everybody mines on riepool until it falls of the planet (in some way or another). Mayham again :-(
After your last statement I do not think you are a very serious and respectful of Riecoin!
I could say the same thing about you:
Boycott what?? Hard work of months and months of me turned only to improve the development of the whole platform??
I pay you respect for the hard work, but that's about it. Nobody deserves anything else than respect, unless they have a fee for it (in case of pools) or mine for themselves. Something they can keep, because they earned it (RIC or respect).
Why do not you ask those who have developed the miner for gpupool.com to release their source code or who has released the binary of "Riecoin_mining_proxy" without source?
I did ask for the mining proxy's code. The gpupool code is not relevant because it has (at least in my eyes) no real value to the community, because the author did not improve the mining algorithm, something everyone could benefit from.
You say "closed project" a FREE feeless pool where EVERYONE can mine with a optimized miner that required months of hard work?
Still not a free pool.
a) You keep the optimizations for yourself, so nobody other than the miners on your pool can benefit from it. Seems pretty unfair to me if you look at it from a community point of view.
b) Look at what happened to cryptsy, a book door in software they had running on their machines made them bankrupt.
So WHO besides you, says your software does not have a backdoor? Let's say we all mine for a year on your pool, then you use the backdoor to empty our RIC wallets, if your miner for whatever (insane) reason runs on the same machine as the wallet. Maybe not a so far fetched scenario if you think that not many people own big computer farm and mine with their (one and) only personal PC.
c) In the spirit of freedom you trample on Gatra's coin with selfishness. Would you have started to mine a coin where the client has been closed source? Probably not ... So why do you deploy this unsocial tactic now?
d) To your understanding of FREEDOM OF CHOICE. You must be from some country which has no real democratically elected regime, if you really believe that having ONLY ONE CHOICE to choose from (which currently has an unfair advantage over others) seems right.
RiePool will have a long life... in some way or another...
Those where the same words form Ypool
A good RIE coin community member shares, like 'Gatra' or 'dga' or the countless other who wrote and improved the pool software you are using right now.
