Two reasons for the delays in payouts:
- There hasn't been a lot of hash, so doing a smaller payout would result in a higher percentage going to tx/ex fees.
- I have been a bit busy with RL stuff. I have fully auto payouts very close now, so the pool won't require as much of my daily time.
That's fine. But don't claim in the FAQ that you payout daily if that is not the case! It is a full out lie!
If you look at the shift history most of the shifts have been 1 day in length. If I could work in the pool full-time I would, but like most people, I have a job and a family that also need my time.
The most successful companies under promise and over deliver. Think about how a miner feels when he first stumbles onto your pool, mines for a day or two and doesn't get any payout whatsoever even though the FAQ says he should have received a payment. Do you think he's going to be loyal or come back again? Tell your customers how the system REALLY works and then do what you promise.
Just tell the truth in your FAQ: "We pay when every few days when I get a day off, or when we feel like it, or whatever."
Just realize most miners probably have their experience from BTC Guild or Slush's pool or many others and the claims, payouts, and overall pool operation are never questioned.
