So why doesn't BTCGuild pay out all of your confirmed rewards? Just another way for this non-fee pool to get a few more "involuntary" donations? BTW, I already donate 1%.
Example:
Confirmed Rewards: 0.05029424
Hit the Pay Me Now button
Paid out: 0.05
Confirmed Rewards: 0.00029424
Why? Why not pay me out all of my confirmed rewards? Granted, we are talking fractions of a BTC here, but still...
Full decimal payouts had issues on older bitcoin clients, and it wasn't fixed until 0.3.21 (I believe that was the version, may have been +/- 0.0.1). The amounts would not show up in your balance, and would often end up being included as transaction fees without your knowledge.
Once Automatic Payouts are implemented (this weekend unless something catastrophic happens with the servers), there will be a setting you can use which will allow full precision payouts. It will default to 'off' and warn you when enabling that you should be using the most recent bitcoin client if you want to receive all 8 decimals of precision.
Thank you for the clarification.
