Sorry ahead of time for the big post, a bunch of new stuff to respond to 
Glad we're still in the running! I think we've got a chance at beating out middlecoin in the long run (we're actively competing after only a few weeks of being open). Getting compared to such a big pool this quickly is awesome from our side (means we're doing something right), and we're working on making it better every day!
Faith/Trust can only be earned. We're working hard to be as transparent as possible, and make sure we're doing what we can to be the most profitable pool out there
No, which is why I asked the question. What I was seeing on the stats page "seemed" like inefficient hopping. And yes, the potential has looked good, which is why I'm here testing on day 3. The cows got less than 24 hours from me, and hashbros even less. I'm still on middlecoin as well, and while wafflepool did better yesterday by about .002/MH, middlecoin is absolutely killing it today. I'm at .018/MH over there, not counting my unexchanged having almost doubled. I'll get the chance to compare to wafflepool in the morning. The way things are going though, I may just keep my rigs divided for a week or two to get a truer long term outlook.

Exactly this. Other pools have been quick and easy to test, using middlecoin as a baseline. Let's face it. They may be huge, uncommunicative, and expensive, but they set the standard for profits on switching pools. The worst day I ever had there was .0108/MH. So far, waffle is the only other one I've tried that comes close. On two separate occasions (after the hack), the cows couldn't even reach 40% of that payout. I won't even bother talking about bros.
So far on my third day with waffle, I'm seeing average to slightly better than average comparisons to middlecoin. While it hasn't yet earned my faith, it has earned my respect and some of my hash for a longer term evaluation. So far I've been thrilled with pool management and am looking forward to more BTC!

I've been looking at new switching pools for a few weeks now, and so far yours is the only one I've tried (only looking at autotraders) that actually does what it claims too. I was actually pretty impressed with cows before the attack (and like the idea of keeping rather than trading certain coins), but they've been overpromising and underdelivering since their return. I have a lot of respect for the way they handled themselves, but I'm wondering if they bit off more than they can chew.
Waffle, so far, just works. No constant disconnects after coin switch is nice (I'm not downgrading my miner). Feature requests are responded to amazingly fast. Everything on the website actually works. No "please excuse us while we fix this and that" messages. So far from a service aspect, I'd vote waffle over every other without hesitation. The profits aspect is still up in the air, but so far I'm pretty happy. The steady climb in pool hashrate has been nice too.
Please keep up the good work!
