Not kidding.

You can't lose what you don't keep on pools long term. Keep an eye on your miners and your wallets, if you stop getting payments, you stop mining that pool. Done.

Instead what we have here is people whining for days about how they built up millions of coin and cant get payouts. ..then they continue to complain about how they kept on building up coins even after that point. That is ridiculous.

Watch your miners. Watch your wallets. When 1 of the 2 stop functioning as expected, move to a different pool. Do that and you can't lose large numbers of coin on a pool, ever.

If you want to be lazy and come back in 2 weeks without getting any payouts, then expect instant support from someone who has consistantly said he has a life outside the pool. Well that is your problem not his.
