NO, I called in two
friends to help out, but its not only us.
Somebody
fixed something

IDK whats going on, but yeah it seems to be
normalizing.
I hope for some explanation soon

P.S. Maybe they should
stop the
ultracoinpool for a few hours a day, till people learn to change pools, like we did with
Ultra.Nitro a few months back!
I can't take those orphan losses forever.
Something I noticed on
http://ultracoinpool.info/ is that the payouts have been "slightly" less than the auto-pay amount lately. I have seen them go above the auto-pay amount on every pool and every coin I have ever used, but it's really odd to me that this pool is slightly under paying. I have not done the math to see if I am actually missing any coins or if it is just paying out slightly early.
Anyone else notice anything like that?
How "slightly" are we talking? I was mining at ultracoinpool.info before switching from GPUs to scrypt asics at Cryptotrain.net. I had set payouts to 20 UTC, but nearly every payout was 19.XXXXX. After some digging, I found most it was for reaching a balance of 20.000XXXX and after the transaction fee was deducted, the total that actually arrived in my wallet was 19.XXXX (~20 - Tx Fee = ~19.9.....)
This happens more often and is more noticeable as your reward per block approaches the cost of Tx Fee-- the smaller your reward/block, the more noticeable it will be.
