Just woke up, when did the pool hoppers start leaving? That's going to hurt us today because even if they come back later, it will take the 12-18 hours to fully work back into the pool once they log back in. You would think with all the years of info on this form they would understand hopping doesn't work. These pools are score based(slush) and pplns(most other) and they are set up, designed and programmed to make a pool hopper loose both when they leave a pool and when they log into the other pool or back into this one. It's built in to make you loose if you do this. I hear the same people constantly crying about ROI and difficulty. Fact is I make very good profits from home mining, you just have to reasearch. If pool hopping worked, we would all be doing it, but I like to make good profits, so I don't hop. It's all about varience and time. Sorry for the rant, need some COFFEE.
Update: Got the coffee, it's been a great couple of days at Slushs Pool. You have to love 316% luck!!!!!!
I found out about bitcoin a month ago, it is now 1 week since I started mining, I was one of the miners hopping after seeing slush luck going up to the moon, I already knew my S3s are not going to ever ROI since I started mining (bought batch6 - late, got BTCs while they were high priced), this is just an experiment for me and love doing this and learning while at it. might even buy "next big thing" hardware and by then Ill know most DOs and DONTs.
It is hard for newbies like me to resist to try something like hopping.
