Looking at my stats, it's been holding at "228 shares" for SOME TIME now. About 3 days to be exact.

There were issues with the server the backend is running on, so the backend was down for a few days. During that time, any miner applets embedded in any pages shut themselves off (since they're designed to do so when they can't reach the server) and no shares were generated. During that time some major issues came up in my life so I unfortunately didn't have time to fix the problem. The server is back up and running again.

And it says "-28 shares" until payout -- where's my .01 BTC?

The payout system isn't fully automated at this point. I've written out the code so that it could be fully automated, but I'm running the payout script manually at this point so that I can keep an eye on it to make sure that it's doing the right thing, just to be safe.

Anyway, your 0.01btc should be sent later on tonight.

If you don't speak up -- either return my e-mail, or respond to this thread -- it's going to be plain to all that this is just a big, elaborate scheme for you to get some free BTC, and the whole "big top" will come crashing down.

In case you hadn't noticed, this project is open source, you're free to run it on your own server. In fact, you'd probably generate more that way, since the lack of bandwidth congestion would likely reduce the number of stale shares by a substantial amount. The only real advantage of running through our server at this point is that you don't have to set a backend up on your own server, so it's convenient.

Unfortunately, we're really not making much of any profit on this at all. We've personally made about 0.012btc (about 17 cents at the current conversion rate) total during the 3 weeks or whatever since we started this project. Basically, it's barely enough to provide a buffer space for payouts. A couple people have made a somewhat substantial amount, considering how little bandwidth our server has at this point and how badly it's getting slammed, anyway. Hopefully this will be profitable for us in the future somehow or other, but at this point, it's just an experiment.
