While I agree with the move to give new deposits the actual hashrate they ordered, I disagree with the new deposits need to be given priority. Old/New can be paid out in tandem.

I am afraid I have been misunderstood (or I didn't explain that very well). All the deposits will be paid, proportionally to their hashrate. I was just meaning that the NEW deposits will get the full hashrate paid for, that will be released to the pool upon completion. It's the opposite of the old situation where the hashrate was released to the pool earlier.
OK, thanks for that clarification.
