So I'm back up to 6 days waiting payout. I quality for one after about 6hrs of mining.
Payout queue is a little long, but I'll clear it out soon with a manual payout.
Sounds like you need to set a higher minimum payout anyway. You'll pretty much never actually get a payout every 6 hours. You should set it to at least a full day of earnings.
The simple fact of the matter is that I would like to be paid out at the amount I select or within very close proximity. For instance if I have selected .1 BTC. I shouldn't have to wait until its .15 or even .235 to finally get paid.
