just added up what I spent vs payout, and I only got 57% of what I put in, which is a large loss.
Did everyone else see this also? I'm just curious.
also one of the payments was unconfirmed

Yeah, I guess we had not foreseen the dominance of scrypt ASICs, the loss of value of scrypt-coins, dogecoin's block reward halvings, and BTC's huge difficulty increases.
Still, it's not so bad considering there is yet many months of payments to come. And kudos to Cooldgamer for handling this like a boss!
(Don't worry about the unconfirmed payment, it will pass through in a short while)
