I had an agreement with Clipse via email to have mine paid prior to the pirate collapse, but this was not honoured (yes that is spelt correctly I am from New Zealand) and will not be after I emailed complaints.
However, I would mine with Clipse again, but only with an instant payout model. (Why not at 130%??).
I think the 130% announcement, being able to lock the pool thread, combined with this bad news on payments is alarming.
He should be taking his own risk, not pushing it on to miners unknown to them.
I cant agree with everyone during this.
You requested withdrawal and few hours later all funds were locked up unable to withdraw from bitcoinmax. At the time you requested I did request large withdrawal but then the BTCST news hit. If you want to see that as unfair then so be it but use your judgement and understand why I couldnt honour it. If I honoured your withdrawal request then Id have to honoured everyone and there isnt enough BTC to go around at the time, do you really think you have more right to your withdrawal request than everyone else ?
You can take it as you want and I tried to explain to you over and over via email but you seem to just ignore what I am telling you.
I cant please everyone during this payment stage and clearly I am not pleasing you but explaining the situation over and over to you and others isnt going to change anything even if I could.
I know im going to take more and more flack from this, some will hate me, some will understand and support me, I cant change what happened.
PS. there is no special powers for locking pool threads, anyone who started a thread can lock it.
