By the way, you all got double paid on one round of the payouts. What I think happened was, during all the confusion with SQL grinding to a halt, a payout cron-job has run, but SQL has been so slow, it didn't get logged as "paid" in the database before the next time the script ran. As a result, that payout was made twice. I have taken it in the ass for about $1150 at todays price - I had to send 315VTC to the pool wallet from my own private funds to ensure users payouts wouldn't fail on the next run:

Although I'd like to make it all up to you, and am happy to let it ride, this is a lot of Vertcoin to lose, and I have been working hard to try to maintain a high level of service, including these server upgrades which are costing me around $250 a month on their own, not to mention that this has been a full-time job for me the past few days with the constant need to keep up with network growth.

I chose to ran a pool, and as a result I have to deal with stuff like this, but if any of you are feeling particularly generous, and notice 2 payments very similar in size made to you around 15:30 (GMT/UTC) today which was when the double payout happened (they may also appear at a different time when they actually arrive with you - I'm not sure), I'd be hugely grateful if some of you might tip me a bit back: ViPBVm4sbXT38h9J23GkAWfNKiuPwVUYQX


Boris, another 2 VTC incoming.

I started on your pool, but switched to a p2pool fairly quickly.
Anyway, you're really doing a great job to support this coin and the community!

Thanks!


And thankyou too - you guys are great.
