In light of the btc fork-fest, I've changed the payout currency from btc to eth in the bat file. Let's see what happens.
Will that be reflected somehow on the zpool stats page? Would I have to switch my wallet address (currently my btc address) to my eth wallet address for it to work/payout correctly?
I don't think it'll work since as far as I understood, it has to be a coin supported by Zpool and ETH is not one of them. I was trying to set my payouts to LTC instead.
I confirmed via Chat, payment in ETH is not possible, however you can try LTC instead. But support did not sound very reassuring. Basically just stick with coins they mine and you should be good.
