Is it possible to cheat a pool keeping an amount for yourself?

[todordev]

Sometimes, the system store this information in the logs.

pool.collect_pool_rewards_loop():369 - Not claimable amount: 10.50
pool.collect_pool_rewards_loop():420 - Not buried amounts: 1.75

After few minutes the system stores the following information.

Wrong target puzzle hash: -----------
Singleton is not assigned to this pool

pool.collect_pool_rewards_loop():369 - Not claimable amount: 12.25
pool.collect_pool_rewards_loop():420 - Not buried amounts: 0.00

What does it mean?

People say, farmers leave the pool as soon as they win a block, to not share rewards.
Is it possible farmers to keep whole amount if they leave before an amount be claimed by the pool?

[loppefaaret]

are you running the reference pool code ? it is not meant to be run as such, it is a reference for you to build you own pool code - protect your claims, by ensuring that your pool claims rewards faster, than the farmers can leave the pool!

Yeah, we are using reference pool.
I see. Thank you very much!
