Proposal: If Cryptsy pendings cause you to only have XX% of the BTC owed to pool members, then pay each pool member XX% of what is owed. I think this is much fairer than paying some and not paying others.

I suspect this is going to lead to far more angry emails of "WTF YOU PAID ME 0.03 AND I HAD 0.05 WTF". Just a guess however. It also means a larger set of fees on my side due to paying out more users every time (larger transactions) vs a smaller set of users, not a huge deal, but something to consider.

Multiple payouts not that great, Curious about how some multipools manage and handle multiple exchanges..

I think we're still in line with most of the other pools. From my understanding clever is essentially overstating their numbers by a decent percentage (10-20%), as it is based on accepted hash rate, and most users have a 10-20% reject rate (which puts us at even, or above them). I haven't done a ton of research into the other pools (just seeing whats been posting here and making potentially wildly inaccurate conclusions). My guess is they use multiple exchanges, which is doable, but the amount of time required to manually trade (or build bots to auto-trade) hasn't been something I've had time for yet.

That said, I've got a full day for today/tomorrow to be working on WP, so I'm stoked to finally get some time to hammer out stuff I've been wanting to do for a while

As for the negative earnings on the stats page for the first hour or so after midnight (UTC). Its just based on the way we're calculating numbers. We take a snapshot of our balances every minute (coins * price = balances) and add them up. I didn't personally see the list when it was negative, but my guess is either we found a block just before midnight (value added in for midnight stats), and then a bit later it got orphaned, so our earnings between then, and midnight were negative. Its also possible that prices on an exchange changed during that time (higher price slightly at midnight, price dropped a bit, and we're at a lower overall balance a bit later). Doesn't mean we're actually losing money, just that the balance at the time you looked is slightly below the balance at exactly midnight

I agree with you, always choose the simplest thing.
Complex schema can generate bugs, and useless long term maintenance... less transactions, less problems.
