However to not ruin you and finally get this thread to an end, I'll donate the missing 0.6 ZEC from my own pocket to your account - you can withdraw it.
THANKS, I appreciate that. I'd wish you would not feel it's been a donation, but let's just leave it like that. You show you have integrity and that's all it counts.
I am well aware of the whole cryptocurrency market being a very risky proposition. And I know that a mining rental contract is not a one-click solution. Can it be profitable ? YES, I proved it to myself . Can it be profitable using a PPNLS pool ? NO , unless you are able to mine 24/7. Can you mine 24/7 using a mining rental contract and have a profit ? NO, if you do not carefully follow the market or put up in place some BOTS. I have been able to generate a profit using a RBPPS pool : it takes a constant monitoring of your rental contract and adjustment to your bids. Am I getting rich ? NO , but I am having lots of fun doing it for few hours every day !
Case closed,

Old round stats, once paid, are purged automatically from the system to save calculation time for newer rounds. Most likely those shares were counted as invalid, as the rejection rate in the screenshot is already unusual high and are therefore not in the calculation. I see multiple payments to your address on that day - I can't check anymore if the credits where for that round, but the whole balance from that day would be something around 1 ZEC.
I'd still recommend not to use nicehash on PPLNS pools anymore or try nicehash on different/other pools.
Ocminer, I have NOT received any payment for that round. If you look at the timestamp, all payments made to my account where before that mining session.
I have already moved my mining to a PPS pool . I agree that PPNLS is definitely not appropriate if you a not able to mine 24/7.
BUT you cannot just dismiss my case with vague answers , when I am missing an estimated 0.6 ZEC from suprnova.
It's all in black and white. You are the owner of the pool, know the payout algorithm , and have all the tools to check why 240,000,000 shares have been gone !!
I've tried to reply to your post in the other thread, however, it's technically impossible that (valid) shares aren't paid at all if your hashrate is displayed on the dashboard as the shares ARE calculated then. It's not so easy to debug nicehash shares, especially not the "fixed orders" as they don't appear like a normal rig on the poolside, they rather appear as a big miner jumping in and out which is totally unproductive on PPLNS pools as we need a "stable" amount of shares over a longer period - not some bursts of shares, that's why I don't recommend it on PPLNS pools as it's really problematic.
A pool is no guarantee for your rewards/rounds to be exactly what is estimated.
I am not here to post false claims. I believe you should put up some time to troubleshoot this problem. Like you said , NO WAY that a valid share is not paid AT ALL. Which is indeed my case.
Please give a look at the screenshot I took from your pool . The round/block in question is the 168084.
You can see that my worker produced 240,254,387 valid shares our of a total of 4,294,967,295 shares in the block. NOT ONE SINGLE share has been accounted as PPLNS share. Other workers have been accounted all or part of the shares of that round , as per the PPNLS algorithm. NOT ME, I have been accounted ZERO shares. Please look at the links of all the screenshot that I took from your pool and from my nicehash account . You will also find another very odd thing : the screenshot of the round in question that I took that same day, show different numbers from the screenshot taken today. As a matter of fact, if you look at it now, it shows as ZERO VALID shares have been accounted as PPNLS shares on round 168084

My nicehast second contract : http://imgur.com/5Ys3nyx
Please look into it and explain. FYI I was using a Nicehash Rental Contract, ( NOT a fixed one ) that I constantly monitored so that I could keep a steady hash rate. This went for about 3 hours , with 2 separate contracts, which in any case were using the same worker.
When I say I am missing 0.04 BTC, I am just saying the amount of ZEC converted in BTC . I know you pay in ZEC, and 0.04 BTC is a rough estimate.
I hope we could see the end of this problem and I apologize to OP for sort of hijacking his thread.
Still no reply to any of my support request. Call it whatever you want, I call it a scam, and I will stick to it until I will be given a mathematical explanation of why of 240,000,000 shares NONE of them was accounted as PPNLS.
I know that there are website like whattomine and coinwarz that will calculate it for you , but I am interested in knowing what is the formula behind their calculation.
Any help ?

Rule #1: Don't use Nicehash on a PPLNS Pool
How come you even put instructions on your website with a video on a how to use your pool with Nicehash rental contract ?!?!
Proof : http://imgur.com/mUc4Rvq
However, there are always rounds with bad luck and rounds with good luck. If you're rented hash during a round of bad luck you'll for sure not get the return you'd expect as the round takes longer than expected (bad luck), rounds with good luck however will return more than expected - no one is complaining then 
It's not a matter of less than expected results , I was paid ZERO, after 3 hours of mining and after having contributed more than 240,000,000 shares , NONE of them was accounted as PPNLS , I highly doubt it's possible, NO matter what the N value is in your pool.
Oh and considering support - I'm available through PM here, through IRC, through twitter and through contact forms/e-mails... If you can't reach me, the problem is 100% on your side.
I've contacted you over twitter, on your pool's thread on bitcointalk.org ( as a matter of fact, my post is the last one of the thread ) , used your webmail form, sent an email , sent a PM on bitcointalk , and you tell me that it's my problem !?!!?!?!?

I am in your same situation. I've mined the pool through a nicehash rental contract. Mined for 3 hours straight , which was almost half the time of the round ( 7:40 hours) . OK, I know that it was a long round and that the PPNLS payout system was going to affect the payout , but to receive ZERO , when I contributed that much to the round seems pretty impossible.
I am a beginner BUT I do not like to point fingers. Before writing here I tried to contact Suprnova, 1) via their support webmail form, 2) directly sending an email to the email on their website, 3) sent a message on Twitter, 4) sent a PM via this forum to Ocminer. I waited 4 days and I've received NO RESPONSE , ZERO, NADA.
I may be wrong and what happened might be totally in line with the mining activity. If you look at the stats of the round you can see my worker (pakal) as being the 4th highest contributor in terms of shares. How is it possible that I mined 240,254,387 shared and NOT A SINGLE ONE was accounted as a PPNLS share !?!?!!?
BUT I have received no response at all, and for this reason I feel I HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.
Ocminer may be a respected member of this forum, and Suprnova a legit pool, but until I will receive an explanation of why I have been denied roughly 200$ worth of payout I'd consider Suprnova a SCAM BUSINESS. BEWARE before you engage in any mining activity with Suprnova.
These are the proof of my mining activity taken from the Suprnova Dashboard

New to the cryptoworld , so bear with my noob question.
While the BTC has a mining difficulty that changes every 2016 blocks, I noticed that the ZEC ( like pretty much all the ALTcoins ) have a mining difficulty that is constantly changing. Can someone explain me how it works ?

Re: ZCASH / ZEC Suprnova Pool Stratum enabled: https://zec.suprnova.cc [PPLNS]
Ocminer, I've tried to contact suprnova via Twitter, email to admin@suprnova.cc, filling up the webform of the website and ultimately a pm to your bitcointalk.org account. NO reply at all. I'd appreciate a response since I am missing 0.04 BTC from my payouts.
Re: [150+ PH] SlushPool (slushpool.com); World's First Mining Pool
The pool side difficulty is the _minimum_ difficulty the pool will use, but the pool's difficulty algorithm automatically sets the appropriate difficulty for your woker(s). If as you say the values you set are not saved that is definitely a weird issue. As strange as it may sound try it on a different browser or machine and see if it works there.
Not a problem of browser. The worker mining diff is apparently set correctly , but when I run the Nicehash verificator it shows a different value.

Re: Buying NiceHash Power and invest it to pool (difficulty question)
Wish I could help, but I am in your SAME EXACT situation. I sent messages to multipool and posted on the Slush thread as well.
Let's see is someone can help.

Re: [150+ PH] SlushPool (slushpool.com); World's First Mining Pool
Is anyone successfully mining BTC on Slush , using rental hashpower from Nicehash ? I've tried to run a small rental contract from nicehash, setup the worker on the pool , but I keep getting disconnected from the pool. On the nicehash dashboard I get a "pool difficulty too low" error. I've increased the minimum difficulty to 16383 , but it looks like this value is not saved in the configuration of the worker nor the account default.
Any feedback is very much appreciated.
