Judging by the amount of people having mined USDE at coinarmy who have had a balance of 0 for hours on end now - including me - and the new influx of members having lost access to their account because coinarmy forgot or failed to copy the passwords: no, it's not all good. Half a day's worth of messages stating that all is well tends to make it worse. "Keep your helmets on".. I understand that if the operator is honest and just wants to make sure that people don't give up on coinarmy, that he doesn't send out a message like "It's all gone haywire, halp! Not sure what to do!" - but the choice not to be fully transparent is only going to hide a SNAFU for so long. I'll be quite surprised to see any coins appear at all. Sorry to be so harsh, but I'm sure you understand that the laconic attitude has pissed me off. I hope to be a massive dick in retrospect.

I'm not just complaining though. The answer to these problems (whether to be attributed to malice or incompetence) is P2Pool, of course. If a block is found while you have active and valid shares, you get payed out immediately. Here's a list of p2pool servers for USDE:

http://p2pool-us.gotgeeks.com:9448 (1% fee)
http://p2pool-eu.gotgeeks.com:9448 (1% fee)
http://rav3n.dtdns.net:9448 (1% fee)
http://solidpool.org:9448 (1% fee)
http://0x0a.nl:9448 (ha) (0.9% fee)

.. or you can set up your own, thanks to rav3n_pl's code at https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav!

If you haven't used a p2pool server before, take a glance at https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/P2Pool . Mainly: connect with your payout address as your username, and don't give up too easily because as soon as you have a valid share, as long as it is active, each block found by the entire p2pool network will result in immediate payouts to your address.


I'm taking a long walk.
