The send time will be Thursday but you'll probably see it around Friday.
As far as I can see the Eligius is run by a bunch of croocks. I haven't been payed either and I'm sick of waiting. They have no right to hold on to the money after they shut down the server. What's more they are too arrogant to post any explenation on their website. I'm done mining for them.
You're right.
Never mind the fact that he's doing this in his free time for basically free.

You, sir, have it all figured out.
