I've switched to Eligius and have been stuck at 22 minutes left until payout since 3AM. Is there a problem? The page doesn't seem to be updating.
Very bad luck on solving the next block. Pool has been working on it for over 8 hours according to the stats.
Nothing seems wrong, just a usual bit of bad luck. Once we solve it things will get rolling again.
Yes, I saw luck was down in the teens but went back to bed for an hour, got up, made breakfast, looked again and luck was up above 300%, now 154%. My earnings have finally been moved to the payout queue and will be paid with the next block.
The payout went smoothly with the new block. I notice it seems less 'spendable', having 26 confirmations already but needing 94 more blocks, than BTC earned elsewhere. Also the clear demarcation of 'Mined'. I wonder if this will prove a problem with that obscure rule that mined bitcoins make one an international money transfer agent if one tries to use it for anything but barter. Bitcoins mined on another pool have not that demarcation.
But the question I wish to ask, is the minimum payout stat changeable on the configuration page? I have Bitcoin-QT on another machine than the one having the cookie storing the receive address. I generated the signed message which included in the encrypted string a lowering of the minimum payout trigger to 0.1000btc but it didn't take. After the initial payout since the signed message configuration change I expected the payout to be lowered but it was not. Is the minimum not changeable below what is dictated by the value equation used by Eligius staff?
