If somebody has a lot of BTC unpaid by the pool and it has been delayed without reason, one might be very angry (and at the extreme track down and sue Slush for financial damages!?) if they lose a lot due to the holdup. Not his problem right? Fortunately, today the BTC value has not dropped much more than a percent at any small period so far. So lets hope for the best...
Its not that I'm ungrateful towards Slush for trying to sort this mess out - quite the opposite. I was just pointing out the problem that even small delays in payments might have catastrophic results for users.
I suggest the minimum payout value be capped to minimize pool liability in case coins do get lost. This would somewhat lower the risk huge damage claims. Of course this would only help for coins mined in the past and not for coins mined during the time payments are not processed.
Yer a fkn idiot! Anyone who thinks that Slush is responsible for them mining on Slush's pool or ANYTHING that results from that needs a trout upside their stupid head!
I actualy see the point in what he was saying. If the ' hot wallet ' doesn't hold more than the payout threshhold for all miners and the diff going off to the cold storage, IF this happens again ya got 2 fold protection. Limited hot wallet total and limited BTC send ability.
in the end * trout to the head of %name%* ya need to look at things to see how it can be HELPFUL to the pool for the comments here.
