I got quoted in a few posts...my work is done here...lol.
Bottom line is this, if you feel you are getting ripped off...leave. If you go to BTCG you are doing a disservice to BTC in general and in the end are only screwing yourselves.
Yeah sure, there could be better communication here, but for the most part everything runs smooth 98% of the time, so there is no need for all the extreme crying when one simple block has a database issue and then it gets repaired eventually. Your shares are recorded in a database, in case you didn't know, and even if the block is confirmed and the payouts say "None" this can and always does get fixed.
I just think it's funny when this happens and all the trolls come out into the light and show their ignorance of BTC pool mining, or just ignorance in general. I have been a member of Slush's pool for a long time, and it's by far the best that I have experienced.
That's my 2 cents so you can bash me if you like, I don't care, I am an adult and I act like one too. I can handle it without wanting to kill myself because some guy on the Interwebz made fun of me...lol.
