Yeah, I'll definitely be improving it, starting with the Score profile which will be changed to the suggested mining very early in a round. I'm also working on making it more likely to jump to faster pools rather than slow ones (this will theoretically decrease income but you don't have to wait that long). You'll be able to choose the hopping algorithm it uses though, the current one or the new, upcoming mode.
I am sure my posts of the slush payouts and not being happy with hopping performance irked you but i am sure reading this post will alleviate that
I really was worried that this was a bust at first.
Nah, feedback is welcome (and needed) for me to develop a better product, even if it's feedback of stuff not having the expected results. Until I finish the next version I recommend not using the Score and PPLNS profiles, on average they're bad for your income (but you can get lucky hits, especially with Score).
I just install your hopper, configure it and run. Why did he not hop in backup pool arsbitcoin?
log from console:
http://pastebin.com/emNHMcGKThere's a typo in the arsbitcoin cfg, the port is wrong. It should be 8344 instead of 8334. You can edit it yourself or download the new archive (updated link in the 2nd post in this topic) and use the fixed cfg. Because of this error it did hop to ars, then saw it couldn't submit shares since the port was wrong and then hopped to a working pool.
Also, this goes for everyone currently using it:
I recommend disabling Score pools until the next update because currently hopping them hurts your income
