BTC payouts are made automatically every 8 hours for all balances above 0.01, or 0.001 on Sunday.
You must pay all balances above 0.0005 first this sunday, and then change the rules.
Agreed and there should be a Grace period before it goes into effect especially since the pool been down
We have introduced 0.5% fee and raised payment threshold to recover from attacks. Those will be returned to previous values once we are back on track.
I am sorry for inconvienience, and can promise that all will be payed as before. Take an example with Nicehash, it took 3 months for them to start paying. We lost 1 BTC, but for small pool it is quite a lot.
