it will only pay out once you reach 5 MAGE. Many others have been mining and getting payouts including myself. Like I said, I am shutting down the pool soon simply because we can no longer compete with one of the vietnamese pools which has 3TH. I do not know where this pool is or if it is private.
How do you know it's a vietnamese pool and not nicehash? Currently, is seems that the hashrate is back to 22GH/s.
