The problem with Shared Maximum Pay Per Share is that in short lucky runds you get payed per share , instead if you get a long rounds streak there is the possibility that the credit isn't enough to pay all the shares and it switches to proportional method !!
This goes in favour to the pool hopping cheat!!

1. Pool hopping isn't cheating.
2. SMPPS never switches to proportional.

Shared MaxPPS looks really good. Very simple too, I like it.

Ok, new difficulty is here way too soon... let's get this over with ASAP!

Please vote your preference(s) for Eligius's new payout method. Please only vote if you at least intend to use Eligius after the upgrade (assume your vote is chosen for payout method). Please only vote if you understand the payout methods, and shortcomings of each method. Note that you can vote for more than one option, if you want.

Notable misconceptions:

MaxPPS: While you do lose "credit" if you change addresses, you do not lose out on being paid for mining work you did.
MaxPPS: Both variables converge on average of once per day based on graphing real-world data, which means you can reasonably time an address change to not lose even any "credit"
PPLNS: If a block is shorter than diff*2 shares, it will go back and pay shares from the previous round(s) again
