I've left this pool.

After the pool going down, DDoS attacks ruining my share counts, and my payouts being 2/3 of what they should have been (I hash at 3300kh/s, yet was only getting 4 LTC per day on wemineltc.com versus other PPS pools (notroll, ltcmine) where I'd get 7-8 LTC per day) I became very frustrated with the amount of wasted time and electricity.
I don't want to have to worry about touching my rigs every few days. The pool operator is a super nice person, and listens to their pool members but I really don't have the patience to continue putting up with road blocks like the ones I experienced here at wemineltc.com. PPLNS should be great but this pool does a poor job at it (as of the time of writing).
Good luck OP, Just wanted to share my experiences. I still have 0.6 LTC in my account, seems silly I have to pay 0.1 LTC to get it out but it looks like I'll end up having to do this. I don't know where the rest of my LTC went, but it sure didn't end up in my wallet.
what was the problem? I dont quite understand it, how the pool is doing a poor job since its all automated? The Payout report we put up today was put for this simple reason: COMPLETE TRANSPARENCY and i challenge every pool operator to do the same. As for the rest of the LTC that you refer to, what you mean? You miss LTC from your wallet? I dont get it :/
OP, you're a great pool operator and I wish every other pool operator was as responsive as you are.
All of the other problems (DDoS, pool going down) are not something unique. What bothered me was not being paid out as much as I'm used to getting paid out at other PPS pools.
I don't mind your pool's structure, and you have the right to choose how the payout works but for whatever reason I wasn't getting my 8 LTC per day so I went back to my PPS pool which does pay me that much. Maybe RBPPS isn't as fair or equitable as PPS, but I don't have any reason to stick with a pool that doesn't pay me as much as the other PPS pool does.
Things I do like:
- Great website, SSL, interface, graphs, everything
- Chat rooms, highly responsive staff
Things I dont like:
- Only getting 4-5 LTC per day when I should be getting 8-9 LTC
If your pool decides to move to a PPS system, let me know! I'll be back.
Our pleasure to have you among us! In our immediate future plans we will add a PPS payout scenario also, so our users can choose in which one they want to mine. We are just running our tests before we have to make sure it works 100% accurate, or we may end bankrupt within a single day
