Hey all nice to be here after being treated like crap over at slush's pool for the first two weeks of my mining. Things seem alot more organized over here. I may be new but it cant be good when a pool continually has problems paying out confirmed rewards to its members. But dont say anything about it or else you be crying and then they will throw you a guilt trip for coming over here. It seemed like a business struggling to make payroll every week. Maybe he purposly runs it like crap to drive the newbies away and keep the hashrate low, it seems that group beleives there is to much hashing power here but I think that is stupid. Anyway nice to be here. I do have aquestion on the rewards since it is a little different format here. Im just curious, are the rewards on the pplns stats page for open shifts not reflected in your account balance until it shows in the closed shift section? Also for the rewards, is that i am getting the block reward AND the shift rewards or is that the shift rewards just add up to the block rewards? Sory just being a noob

It has been a bit disheartening to see the state of Slush's thread. It really seems wrong for a thread to have 100s of the most recent pages talking about inaccurate rewards with no word at all from the pool op about it for months.
Open shift rewards are immediately reflected in your balance. BTC Guild does not make you wait for confirmations or for shifts to be closed. The reason for the warning at the top of the page is people tend to freak out seeing 0-3 blocks paid and extremely low per-share rates at the top of Open Shifts, which is *normal* because they still have hours worth of time to have extra block rewards split with them.
Your rewards are based purely on shift rewards. The block reward shown on the dashboard is just go give you an idea of how much your balance has increased with each block solve.
