so who has started mining back here again Huh

Well I just joined and I am a totally ignorant, but learning. I joined this pool because they were 2nd place in some list of pools I seen searching the Google... I am using 2X 7970's in xfire and getting about 620 M/Hs with each card.

I started mining last night (near 20 hours now of mining) and I still see a 0 balance on the dashboard of 50BTC, though I see they accepted 16526 shares (even though GUI miner states I have mined 16092 shares off one card and 15284 shares off the other card)... and I still see a 0 coin balance... (I would of thought to see at least see 0.0000001 balance? Please let me know what you all think... I am still a newbie at this.. should I move on with all this negativity here on this pool?

Face

To make a long story short, this pool was once the 2nd largest pool indeed.

Then, if I recall well it was about mid-October last year, all coins were lost by the pool, they said they were hacked.

A lot of users have lost confidence and never came back. The hashing power on this pool has now become anecdotic and if you are new here I would suggest mining on other, larger pools to start, e.g. BTC Guild is easy to use and you can even use PPS payout if you want coins immediately (I would suggest PPLNS in the long run though). It's generally rude to post this in a pool's thread, but I think these are special circumstances.

As far as I'm concerned, 50BTC refunded me part of my balance and I appreciate their efforts. There are however still many users reporting their balance staying at zero despite mining, so I would use caution. I haven't tried myself yet.

I've pointed a FEW miners at the pool and still it wont change my balance..... still a scam IMO

PPLNS arrives with ZERO pool fee for existing users!

As promised we have implemented PPLNS payment model! It is more profitable for miners in the long run, and has ZERO pool fee for all our existing users. Read more
Maybe they changed payment model to pplns already?
