10,000 coins till you get paid? no way. the difficulty it might take weeks to get paid. If they changed it to 1000 then 100 better.
They use USA punctuation, so 10.000 coins is 10 coins and 0 sub coins ($1.00 USD = 1 dollar and no cents)
Source: I live in USA, and I've been on stl hpool for 5 hours now, and been getting paid 13 coins, 43 coins, 31 coins, 37 coins, 28.5 coins, 19.5 coins, etc, not having to wait for 10 thousand coins.
