As mentioned several times.  Payouts now happen only once a day.

are the servers up yet terk ? as far as i could remember, ping for me to usa server & sg server is almost same. seems like usa server is slightly better.

Nothing. It fluctuates all day depending on what coin is being mined.

Coin switch.  Different coins result in different reject rates because of diff/speed of the coin. Clevermining pool is more aggressive in pursuing fast coins that have good profitability despite higher reject rates so you'll see more varied reject rates here. Others like Waffle avoid these fast coins so you won't see them have high reject rates. It's more than network latency, server issues, and miner configuration.  People tend to forget about the fast coin aspect here.  Oh well.

4 days and no payouts... is that normal for this pool?  I was reading that they do payouts multiple times a day.

terk, lots of disconnects so sgminer is auto switching between cm & my backup pool, reject rates are high too. running 4 x r290 lowered xi to 70 still getting about 20% rejects. although cm pays more but with the rejects it's pretty much the same as other pools with less rejects with lower profits.

i know this has been brought up multiple times & you're fixing it. looking forward to see some improvement soon & more servers to handle the load too.

will you be interested to setup a server in asia region ? i have at least 100mbps line unused @ home & can help to host. pm if interested.

tengettack,

I'm not sure that fees are really relevant in switching pools, what really matters is what the payout per Mhash is.   After all, you don't go to a store and ask what their markup on a product is before you buy do you?   Just like you go to the store with the best price, use the switching pool with the best payout not the lowest fees.

I actually announced a fixed 2% fee couple of days ago. I might go back to progressive fee idea once I have time to work on it. I need to update the website to reflect recent changes.
