Why are they having so many issues with the paycoin pool if they have been running pools for months?
What issues? They had a hardfork... not the first time that's happened.
Come on now... nothing to do with the hard fork. Their Paycoin pool doesn't even work anymore, and the brief period when it did accept shares it didn't pay out and had to be "manually reconciled". This is a company that supposedly had massive pools running for months. One of the biggest red flags, but then again, we don't care about technical details as long as someone's dangling $20 in front of us? Let's wait and see how that works out.
Teething pains with a new coin, I guess. It's not like pools don't have technical problems.
GAW quickly dissolved it's pool when enough others had come online. Imagine the wailing and gnashing of teeth here if they kept on with their own pool and the naysayers and boo-birds here claiming "foul"... they control more than 51% of the hashing power.
