Now about 5 weeks in queue and through this time (with 10+ blocks found by the pool) my wait time has gone from 5 to 6 blocks. I've quietly followed this discussion to see updates and have seen many promises of a manual payout, dating back to mid April actually. Over the past week, there have been 2 updates suggesting 'tomorrow' and still nothing so I too must steer my miners away from here for now. I really hope things get back on track. I like this pool and I like WK (not that I know him, but I get a sense of who he is through his posts).
I'll keep checking in, and when I am finally paid and the queue is under 2 blocks, I'll be back. Hope that is soon
