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.
then either this is not the pool for you or set your payout for a weeks worth or more of mining...then you'll hop to the front of the queue everytime and not have to wait
i have mine on .25 which is a day n half mining...but i don't care how long it takes to payout...hehe i like getting .91btc all at once too

i know my btc is safe which is what matters to me

So does it really matter to set the payout higher? I normally don't see a payout until .4-.8. This coming one will be around 1.0. If I had set the rate at .25, would I have already seen a payout, or just still accumulating waiting on enough blocks found to payout?
