The payouts were never an issue here I think - just the fake winners. I won't touch them simply because of that, I just don't trust them now.
Well, that's the great thing about this pool. You only need to trust them for two hours at a time if you have your payout set to every two hours. That said, I've stuck with them since that first month with only brief interruptions and they have recovered from every issue they had and made up for payouts when they were not as they should be. They have been very stable lately.
It is hard to understand how people can fall for crazy schemes and buy into cloud mining for unbelievable promises of profit yet a pool that consistently and provably pays out 10% over baseline and where the maximum risk is 2 hours of your hash rate plus your reaction time is feared.
