First, I had just installed Winminer as a back up to NH the night before the big hit, so I do not want to trash this program yet, because my rig was running 2 hours after the NiceHash theft. I do have some serious questions about what I am seeing.
1) I do not know what numbers on the site to trust. My payout is lower than the payout chart, the payout chart is lower than the live reporting, and my logs do really agree with any of the numbers.
2) I was willing to say they are just working out the bugs of doubling their user base in a day, and I do give them credit that they did keep it up and running (with some issues, but nothing that could not be explained), and the payments were uneven due to the large contracts and over use of the network available, but things are just not adding up. My balance moved up 2.12 today (24hr power on and mining), while my logs show, and the live tracker was showing that I should have mined in the range of 7-8 in the same period. But I have to ask who is the customer of the contracts that we are mining?
3) I would also like to see at what rate we are mining, in the coin that we are mining. That way we could see what the payout actually was.

They kept me mining, and I really appreciate that, but I am seeing some troubling issues. I know that I am super paranoid after the NiceHash thing, and loosing over 25 bitcoin to the MtGox sh*tstorm, but it really feels like winminer is causing my spidy sense is kicking back in. I need to see some more proof of the contract purchasers, the numbers at least need to match between the different elements of the same system, and I would prefer to see the actual coin that I am hashing, and the pay for the coin.

I am hopeful that I will get a response from winminer. I am also hopeful that the charts, payouts and live monitoring could be explained. I am now looking for another miner program that I can use as a backup (or possible replacement) that pays out in US$ or Bitcoin, and requires minimum programming or specialty knowledge. My rigs are built for both CPU and GPU hashing (8 core AMD 3.4ghz, I7 7700, GTX970, GTX 1050ti, GTX1060, GTX1070ti, RX580), and I was only just getting back into hashing this year after MtGox. Allot has changed in this world, and I will need some more time to start figuring out this again after another loss of coin in NiceHash.

Any help or assurances/explanations would be greatly appreciated.

I've been running WinMiner for several weeks, and I have also noticed a much lower payout in comparison to if I were mining myself. It's a shame if that is the case, as we are getting hit twice, the 3% fee and the skim off the top.

I hope someone can voice these concerns, as the software has great potential, but I ran the numbers and it just doesn't add up.
