One of the problems with joining a pool is trusting the operator, so he/she doesn't "skim" your hard earned coins. Bitcoinpool tries to solve this problem by making statistics of every user public. While that's better than other pools, it's not enough. The operator can still make fake users, and inflate their share count.
A solution to this problem would be to publicly show EVERY share that is submitted by a user, and its corresponding getwork. This way, if someone wants to inflate his/her share count, they will actually need to do work.
Comments? Problems with this proposal? Hopefully, we can get all the major pool owners to implement in this, unless there are any problems.
