Strange, I am seeing the same thing. I have a new transaction that already has 4 confirmations, but the prior transaction - over 2 hours ago, still has zero. Unfortunately the one with zero confirmations is .11 BTC, almost half a day's mining revenue for me.
Is it usual for payouts to not get a single confirmation after 1 hour + ?
Yes. Relax. Or at least do some reading. If you click on TX id at the end of your user stat page you can read the following:
Size 34342 (bytes)
Received Time 2014-02-26 22:00:50
Estimated Confirmation Time Within 6 Blocks (Medium Priority)
This is just the first time I have not seen at least a single confirmation in the first hour, so I figured I would ask. I am kind of new to the crypto scene, and even more so to this pool, so thanks for giving this noob a straight answer.
Heck of allot more comfortable here already than over at middlecoin.
