I suggest that we don't discuss any important things in public. Skype group?

Blockchain.info stats show that coins were transferred somewhere periodically and all the time while miners were waiting for payments...
Well yeah, I never did understand quite why someone would not be able to pay out for a period of ~2 months...

For my own proxy I pay out at worst every 48 hours. If I'm doing contract mining I get paid in advance, so I have coin on hand to pay people, if I'm hopping I have a pretty steady stream of payments going into my wallet, so I have coin on hand to pay people.
If Clipse was being contracted to provide hundreds of gigahashes of mining horsepower for months on end (and honestly, nobody's buying hashrate at >130% PPS at the moment), I can't believe that such a contract would only be set up to get paid at the end of the period. I didn't point any of my own hashrate at bonuspool simply because I didn't understand what sort of business model could provide a 30% bonus, but not be able to pay out for months.

I guess if Clipse is known to the community there's some hope that some of you will get some money out, but given that people know Trendon and Ryan and that lot and they still got away with a fortune I don't see it happening...
