I don't get it.  Why not just solo mine?  With solo mine you either win 50BTC or nothing.  Every day is a gamble!  Grin

Because they use block hashes as source for random values - I don't really understand why they use the (severely) broken MD5 hash function on it, but for this case that might still be ok.

I'm not yet 100% sure how to gamble your system, but it looks VERY suspicious to me to be able to be gamed. Also: lots and lots of variance...

Why not instead mine elsewhere and play casino with the earning ?

How are we supposed to trust your randomness ?

We had some changes. Now score system is completely transparent  Wink
Here is some example.

Do you have an API? How do I find out how many shares have been submitted for the current round?
We have pool stats. Here you can see number of your shares when you are logged. And at the top-right you can see the number of all shares for the current round.

I don't want to create accounts, or even make one share for each account

if I have 90% of all shares, I could win only once, totally unfair for accounts with large computing power, that is the reason your pool won't grow, you have to be average or you will be penalized...

 Our pool is designed for large numbers of people with medium computing power. And so if you can generate block during the 1 week solo - do it!
Miners with medium speed are much more than others... That's why we will grow up  Wink

I won't join that pool until I could win multiple times with one account
you want all 50BTC? 25 BTC is not enough?
Then you can register multiple accounts and try to win all prize. But % of victory will be smaller.
I would need to register as many accounts as I want to submit shares, then the % would be OK.

It really would be much better to be able to win multiple times (only 11 shares out of ~2 millions get paid comparably a lot is not very attractive though imho) - also you have 2% fees + keep transaction fees per block.

"Randomly chosen" is also something I do NOT trust at all - maybe make it dependant on the hash of the solved block or so - this way your miners can calculate which shares earned the reward as well.

All in all: This is a lottery...
