For anyone wondering about the payout delays and such, I'll tell you how mine worked for an example.

I started folding on May 10th and my work units usually take about 15 hours so probably completed some time May 11th (I was not home for the weekend so wasn't monitoring and don't remember exact time I started folding or ETA).

Yesterday, May 12th, during the afternoon (~19:00 UTC), on cryptobullionpools, I was seeing my PPD (120k) and expected payout (~24.7 CURE), and had an account balance of 0.000...CUR.

At 23:00 UTC last night (May 12th) my account was credited with the exact amount expected (24.67...), and I performed a cash out.

I just received my cash-out to my wallet at 18:00 UTC today (May 13th). Also, cryptobullionpools is showing 100k PPD for the day and an expected payout of ~11 coins. Account balance is 0.

So it seems accounts are credited at 23:00 UTC for work completed >24 hours earlier, and cashouts are handled at 18:00 UTC.

This is disheartening. I've been folding since May 10th at about 5PM PST at 300k PPD and only have 18 coins.

The cryptobullions pool is only showing my PPD as 72k, why is this?

I love this idea and it's clear that it's worthwhile given that the CureCoin team is the #1 folding team in only three days. There needs to be more information provided for the payouts though.

You have to understand, though, that the PPD metric is an average. I am actually folding at 180k PPD, yet I only had 120k points one day, and 100k points the next day. Why? Probably because I only turned in one work unit per card each of those days. Each work unit is worth about 60k, and completes in ~18 hours on my rig. That means, eventually, and every few days, I'm going to turn in two work units per card in a single day. That day I will get 240k points. Then I will go back to getting 120k points for a couple days, etc.

Your payout is not based on your calculated PPD, it is based on actual work submitted and verified.

How can we get some accounting / visibility into how these payouts are calculated. Why does everyone have such different results?

If your asking that means you didnt understand baracuda's response correctly. Payouts are calculated :
your points for the day (so not your estimate, but actual submitted wu's ppd) / team curecoins total points for the day * 7488 = your payout

so if my folding at home client says im getting 230k ppd, like baracuda says that doesnt mean that those are my actual points.. it is an estimate.
If you want to know for sure and doublecheck points vs payouts.... start analysing team list : http://folding.extremeoverclocking.com/user_list.php?s=&t=224497 and compare those stats with payouts show on pool.
