I have no problem with an occasional delayed payout - PoolWaffle always comes thru.

That said, I would be happy to see the fee raised a bit - to maybe 1.5% or 2%.  Seems more then fair, and still the lowest I have seen (specifically when nobody offers a truly comparable service right now). PW having more $ on hand to potentially expand operations, handle late payments, or whatever, just sounds like a decent idea.


Reddit is way more annoying to following, IMO.  It takes a whopping few minutes a day to scan thru the new posts in this thread, and keeps everything centralized.  I am glad PW keeps his communication here - I am sure it kills less of his time.

Just a guess, but I bet the larger miners got paid, although this wasn't intentional.  Looks like a bunch of coins got exchanged at the same time as cryptsy finally sent the bitcoin payment, payment went out, but because there was so much exchanged balance sitting on cryptsy, there wasn't enough to pay everyone.  I highly doubt this was intentional - payout script probably ran and cleared people's balances until there was no BTC left.

Logical a payout script would start at the top and work down (simple sort order), so smaller miners accidentally not getting a payout does make sense.

Anyway, it really shouldn't matter - everyone will get paid tomorrow, and then you can just smile about a much bigger then average 1-time payout.

According to that you were last paid at the same time everyone else was.

Hey, something seems to be wrong.
I have password d=256, and it has been working since now. Now suddently I saw my hashrate
being 0.00 at http://waffles.wilschrader.com/
Then checked my rigs and two of them were diff 16 and hashrate was 200h/s (not kh/s).
Something wrong with the server?

Bitbar looks good too and is also in Cryptsy

By the way what other multipools exists which auto exchange in ltc or btc?

I've lost up to 3 days of mining due to recent bitcoin crash. Still waiting to get verified on mt gox. Their customer support are awful, not even answering.

I'm sure there is good reason to be mining LTC. If you dont feel there is, doesnt take much work to redirect your miners to a different pool for a while.

LTC would show in cgminer with a diff of 3.37K or 221M, depending which version you have. I don't see that diff now, we seem to be switching between DOGE and CAT (17.3M and 6.45M).

No... Not all 'exchanged balance' is payable. Exchanged balance never starts at 0 after a payout for obvious reason - BTC that is exchanged takes time to withdrawal from the exchanges before it can be paid out... So not all exchanged balance can actually be paid immediately.

Middlecoiners, particularly if you have only been mining for a period of 24 hours or less, remember that despite what you received today, there is still an unexchanged and immature balance you have accrued that you will be paid tomorrow. To accurately estimate the fruits of your activities, you need to factor those in, as well. It takes a couple of days for the payments to truly reflect your time spent. For example, when I stopped mining at middlecoin during the recent server issues, I continued to get payments the next two evenings thereafter that reflected previous activity. All in all, the payments came out to be solid. Remember that before you evaluate things and immediately bail out, if payments don't seem like what you are accustomed to, it does take a few days for your "true" activity to be paid upon. I am posting this for those that might be thinking they have been mining for 24 hours and got a low payment. You need to consider what is still reflected in your unexchanged and immature balance. I have also noticed those charts are sometimes misleading, because the unexchanged balance is an ESTIMATE of what will happen once h2o makes exchanges. In my past, he has sometimes pleasantly surprised me with higher numbers than the charts indicate, but that also takes a day or two to show up.

well looking over historical data going back to July, 12mBTC would be a bit low - remember we want the average, not a typical day.

Last time I did a trend-line for our performance (very pie-in-the-sky type numbers though) I came up with a figure of 17mBTC/mhashday

This agree with other people's assumptions? Obviously the variance is a lot as well.

Dammmm....

Ppl, where talking about how bad was this pool...
So for im very pleased... this latest payment was the best atm... very nice indeed!

Even the main graphic show payment of a lot of BTC...



Middlecoin ftw!..

I understand past payouts are not meaning future will be the same jim, that is down to variance. However they are normally in a similar ballpark, for one to go from 0.01 ish on EU day 1, to 0.005ish day 2 on US, to 0.01ish on EU day 3, to 0.005ish on US day 4, you can see there is a trend occuring to a decent reliability. I am not taking sides, I am merely stating you cannot dismiss it.
I'm a massive fan of the pool, don't take everything as an attack of so personally, a loss of 50% earnings day to day from going EU to USA server is very strange, and not within the realms of variance - as you will be able to see if you look up others payouts.

Cheers

You people aren't realising what he's saying, even if he adds up the blue, green and red on the US days it still comes to less than the red on the EU server.
Take the last day for example, 0.00222 Balance + 0.00216 + 0.0008 immature = 0.00518 That is the Cumulutive, COMPLETE TOTAL of his days mining, now look at the day before on just EU he got over 0.01, so no matter which way you look at it he has ended up with way less BTC (approx half)

Good to see a few updates in here from H20, that guy was too quick to label him a scammer (ironically given he's a scammer himself).
That being said, as a few others have said, please can you explain the large 'refund', how come someone needed a big refund?
Thanks.

Is someone able to explain me why my balance growing slower on the US server than on the EU one?

You can see I got better performance today on the rejects, using the custom cgminer from someone in the thread.

Lol, I wish I could predict the future price of a coin. But I'm not asking about future prices, I'm asking about the current estimate. If the current estimate says 1BTC then I should get 1BTC if I trade it right then and there. But if it says current estimate is 1BTC and I don't trade it then, then the value can go up or down, and in this case it went down since it wasn't auto-traded when it was the original estimate. I hope I'm making sense.
