Okay switched last night and after 8 hrs 45 mins the pool is saying I have mined 12.69 XVG.
But what shocked me is the minimum payout - 50,000 coins??? I'm positive that this is a mistake. It may even be a user-configurable amount like ethermine.
No it is not a mistake. Please look at the message on our website:
>>
VERY URGENT MESSAGE. Due to an ongoing attack on the XVG network all mined blocks are Orphaned. THIS MEANS YOUR BALANCE IS RESET TO 0. We advise everyone to stop mining Verge and choose another coin for time beeing like SmartCash or Shield. For questions and support contact us in the Telegram channel, see below. We will do everything we can to get the situation resolved a.s.a.p.

Because we were on the wrong chain, all transactions need to be reversed ... and reversed transactions need to be accepted..... Ergo .. it is a mess.
We are now patched and i wait for the chain to sync.
