Thanks

Also mining at this pool for Arkenstone. Waiting for a payout. Also my reported hashrate is not showing correctly on their end. I have 4th pointed to it and it's only showing about 1.2. Not sure if this is an error on their API or they aren't setting the difficulty properly to fully utilize SHA-256.
It takes a few minutes to display the correct hashrate. Most probably not an error on our site. But when it continues, please get in touch, so that we can figure this out.
We are paying out immediately after ARS mature. It takes 200 blocks before the Arkenstone client lets us spend mined coins, so the first payout will happen in 2 days and 2 hours approximately. (200 blocks to mature x 15 minutes block time = 50 hours = 2.2 days) We'd like this to be faster, too; but this is a decision the Arkenstone dev has to make.
just got my first piece of the stone from this pool, was roughly 3daysish from when the block was found (so relax if its been 2.5 etc) I was worried but now am quite happy to mine here more.
