While there were certainly some major issues that needed to be resolved, I do feel that MID dev team truly are making an effort to make this right and get things sorted out before opening up mining again. Prior to the halt, I had a conversation with the MID dev regarding block generation times, payouts, difficulty adjustment, and reject issues. They took the time to actively monitor my hash as a "test subject" in order to find out what the issues were. I certainly agree with the fact that there are issues that need to be fixed before things start up again, but at least they are making an effort to correct things and stick by it, provide insight, discuss matters on IRC, etc. rather than just bailing from the project at the first sign of a problem.

I'll continue to watch this project. Hopefully they are able to clear the air soon and things truly work out for everyone involved.

Ah ok, now I understand - thank you for clarifying this.
I noticed my pool account balance, but didn't know that it included the coins that I had in my wallet.
