personally for me its the lack of communication that is most frustrating, i believe that Pwner and s0br and the crew are trying, but this isnt some mining pool for AUR coin or something, this is a big en-devour for all involved and should be treated with a level of urgency.
as s0br states in page #1 of this thread
Quite frankly, I find it rather irresponsible to do so, or to delay any payments by any amount of time. It's technically incomprehensible.
its also irresponsible to let people speculate what the issues are without any update, notice, or plan for how to correct them.
Exactly, agree 100%.
And it's really curious how some feel the need to apologize for this operation and/or scold people that ask questions. Actually, if you want to apologize, that's ok, but save the freaking speeches about how people should just STFU when payouts are wonky, promised give-aways don't show up, and bonuses are on and off. Why shouldn't people voice their displeasure when the pool doesn't live up to it's own standard? It would be stupid to just STFU and say nothing while your hash power (that cost real money) goes unrewarded or under-rewarded.
