Sorry for the delay, some personal stuff came up and I've been away from my computer for most of yesterday.

That said, we're still waiting for withdrawals from Cryptsy.  We have 2 pending withdrawals currently (and a ticket in to support), one for 71 btc submitted yesterday, one for 42 btc submitted just now.

I manually did payouts last night based with the funds that we had traded on coinmarket, but that was a very small portion of our overall exchanged amount.  Essentially until Cryptsy pays us, we can't pay you, and I have no idea when ours will go through.  We didn't start having withdrawal problems until a few days ago, which leaves me with 2 guesses as to why its happening:
1) We're now withdrawing large enough amounts that they need to be manually approved (and that happens once/twice a day).
2) Cryptsy's hot wallet runs out of funds, and needs restocked, and we just hit that block more often than most because of the size of withdrawals.

All that said, I'm really sorry the payouts aren't on time, but there isn't much I can do about.  I'm more sorry in the lack of communication, just some things came up, and wasn't something I was able to do.

Thanks a lot for your post. Knowing how time consuming a "normal" software project can be, I can only imagine the hours of tweaking and the lack of sleep to handle a pool, that´s hashrate has been exploding in just a few days as wafflepool experienced. It´s astounding how naive some users can be, thinking nothing happens at all or baaaaad things are hiding behind the cornes, if they don´t see an update on the site for a few hours or if you don´t post a comment every few minutes. You have a personal life? They don´t care. You need time for administrating and fixing the pool rather than chat in a forum? They don´t care.

MtGox has shut down withdrawals for days and weeks without any believable explanation, Cryptsy faces deposit and withdrawal issues every other weekend - and you have to face the heat for a hiccup in transfering coins for one day? middlecoin is sitting on 206 unexchanged BTC (!) at the moment. I´m glad, Wafflepool is a serious alternative to pools with 20% rejects or 200 BTC unexchanged or 200 MH/s hashrate. Keep up the good work, thanks for your patience with user who don´t know what they are talking about and hopefully your personal life isn´t effected that much by those, who are sitting in front of their computers, blaming you not getting rich fast enough.
