no coin was erased from your account. If the pool goes off on a fork - it thinks it's won all the blocks, and it WILL pay out those blocksForks happen, it appears .BIZ went off on a fork, but it also brought itself back onto the mainstream branch, and as I said - the pool will have paid out all blocks it thought it won.

Do pools actually continue paying when they are on a Fork? My experience is that the Pool on a Fork stops paying out and payments are queued, when the Fork is sorted then the coins are removed from the queue?

If coins are actually paid out, surely they could be exchanged etc and not be retrievable?

My experience is once the pool forks it seems to recognize somehow it is forking as the earnings just pile up in the account and are marked as unpaid, eventually they get "erased" and reset once everything is synced back up.

the earnings in the pool do pile up, and the pool will pay out what it thinks it has, but once the pool rejoins the real chain it learns it's real balance, and doesn't have the funds to pay out the fork mined coins - so I put my own coins into the pool funds so it can pay out those fork mined earnings. To date it's been over 1M Burst from my wallet to the pools/miners for fork based mining.
