Eligius has been very transparent about how their system works. If you don't like it (or very likely didn't read about it to fully understand it), go elsewhere and quit bitching on here. Pretty simple.
I've always been paid for my shares, and the 0% pool fee makes up for the delay on NMC in my book (though I'm donating as I value the service Eligius is providing). A little patience has gone a long way. Thanks Wiz & Luke.
With all due respect, boner, I've been on this pool for longer than you've probably been mining--total--so can your condescending attitude. I've been here since the days when Luke-JR was running it and, if you'd care enough to check my posts on the forum, which you seem to have just joined, you'd see that I am almost always speaking out in favor Eligius, the payout structure, and Wizkid and Luke. So thanks for your "input"...
That said, I do understand the structure and I'm not happy about it. Am I just bitching? Sure. Is it therapeutic? Yup.
I have the right, as does everyone else that's wondering what's up.
By the way... you donating anything, or just another self-righteous free loader?[EDITED since I see you said you're donating -- same here -- always have, so lay off. That changes tonight, though... time to go for free, since it doesn't seem to be helping solve any problems.]
NMC, wizkid? Or can I suggest that you, at the very least, change the header on the page when you get 2 minutes.
