Re: BAN "Giveaway" Promotion Scam to Fake Users & stolen mining equipment.
And the BAN scam goes on - now s0br is stealing 7.7% of miners earnings, that's a nice slice of every miners pie.........will people never learn?
I never got emails explaining anything. I did finally get my payout yesterday (after 11 days without payouts). It did indeed have 7.71% missing due to the difficulty adjustment near the end of those 11 days. BAN wasn't doing partial payments during those 11 days but instead was picking and choosing who was paid, so not everyone took the 7.71% hit on as many days worth.
IMO, handling difficulty changes in PPS the way BAN does is not the brightest idea. If there is another difficulty drop, before the drop anyone could set their payout for 24 hours and earn extra for nearly a day at the expense of the pool. Likewise, always hop off and never let a payout cross an increase! The pool can probably handle it though-- there are far more increases available to skim from those who do not know any better!
So ... what happened with this?
Someone earlier posted that they get transparent emails ... so I guess the emails explained it also?

I'm no hater - I just think it's scandalous that people let s0br get away with stealing, lying & scamming miners. As should everyone. Speaking of scamming, here's another classic from their first thread:
Of course, if you're OK with losing over 7% of your earnings, zero support, lies, fake accounts, fake givaways, fake pictures, late payments, missing payments, etc, etc with no explanation whatsoever on a pool that is using stolen hardware - then by all means knock yourself out and mine here
Miners need to know what they are letting themselves in for here, especially noobs who don't know any better.
