Neighbourhood Pool Watch 1: No-one should mine at Bitclockers

I'm quite happy to answer any questions Bitclockers.com miners might have since the pool ops won't respond.

With the Hopping bonus mitigated Hoppers are paid 100% for the shares they mined. NON-Hoppers are not effected and payouts remain 100% of shares mined.

Spartan,

Bitclockers does its best to protect its users, to protect the pool from hoppers bitclockers uses anti hopper protections to mitigate hoppers thieving from other miners in the pool.

With the Hopping bonus mitigated Hoppers are paid 100% for the shares they mined. NON-Hoppers are not effected and payouts remain 100% of shares mined.

I mined here for a little while, but I decided to go to a pool that prevents pool hopping. As I looked at the statistics of each new block a huge influx of miners would come in for a couple of hours, and then disappear leaving the rest of us mining the entire time, but a large percentage going to those with large hash rates that just stay long enough to maximize their profits. I don't necessarily think there is anything wrong with the hoppers, but I just prefer not to mine at a pool that allows it to happen.

caution for teh nubz.
