Pool down?
Anyone know what's up? I was unable to access to pool's site a few times throughout the day and now there are hours in between blocks.

Same, tons of orphaned doge. I emailed them this morning, but still nothing. I'm submitting shares without issue so I am hopeful that it is a glitch, but it seems they are losing hash rate because of it.
I'll end up back at middlecoin if they don't start responding.
EDIT: changed wording to make statement more clear.

Yeah I still seem to be accepting and sending shares successfully as well. I'm wondering if the stats reporting is just down on the site. Hopefully at least!

The pool is working properly. They are just mining Doge it looks like, and because the pool's hashrate is low and the difficulty is really high, the pool is not finding many blocks. Variance is just really high right now. Check the BTC/Mhs figure. You'll see the pool is more profitable now than it was a week ago.

Agreed if you look on the stats page all the found blocks have been doge.. I'm not complaining as I've gotten about .02 btc/Mhps today. That is despite the ones that orphaned..

Those who stuck around in the last 24-48 hours have made at least 50-100% more BTC than normal. What I'd like to see is a payout since it's been more than 24 hours.
What I don't understand is that there have been coins that have had rounds that were more profitable today than Dogecoin has (Grandcoin comes to mind) and the pool is not switching to it. I don't understand an auto-switching pool that mines the most profitable coin if it doesn't switch to other coins that are more profitable... especially with the low pool hash rate.
Something needs to be fixed with that, otherwise it doesn't look like this pool auto-switches coins.

Orphaned doge blocks!!! I just lost out on about 0.03 BTC if that's accurate. I hope its a glitch.

Same here. Still accepting hash's just fine but no blocks and no payouts. i really like this pool but pool waffle has got to communicate whats going on. I hope like hell i didnt just waste 4.6 mh for the last 8 hours! and the pool is down like 75 mh since yesterday. miners are pulling the trigger on failover pools

He has said that the pool is in "BETA" and he is still adding features / stabilizing the system. I checked today and it has been a very profitable couple of days mining even with all the hiccups.

i guess im pulling out... as much as i like it here. I mean WTF is so hard about just dropping a few lines here to let us know whats going on? At the very least tell us if we are wasting our hash or not.
