The payment address is tied to your request - you can pay into it in as many transactions as you like. Only after the work is finished and the payment is sent to the miner, will your extra transactions be ignored. You can try sending in two 0.01BTC transactions to start and see if the reward increases once the transactions are confirmed. If you come across any problems, just let me know.

I sent through 3 transactions of 0.01, 0.01, and 0.06 to the address 1PDWfc29f8uSX6nJ7VdqHUJ7goLtAiG3pX

However, here: https://vanitypool.appspot.com/check?key=17Strykes:04387C0A9AD5739A92D12E3C4C05ABDE45EB8712A7DE27A5A0D590DB520169E62A8CD330D2AAB93 9EFAA723C5D97E00A2DFE457BCA138CAF6077024EAAE346730F it only shows that I have paid in 0.008 BTC, when in fact I've paid in 0.08 BTC. Could you please fix this display error? A floating point variable or some data polling code may be messed up.


Okay, sorry about that - pool's memory cache didn't flush properly. A proper bounty is appearing now (0.064 - 80% of 0.08 as per norm). I will add memory clearing functionality for that use case to my TODO list.

Wait so I need to pay 0.02 BTC more to get to the minimum 0.08 BTC requirement for an address with 8 specified characters? I wish I was notified first. Please clarify before I deposit such an amount.
