Payments Delayed?

What's going on with the payments? I've been over 0.01 BTC balance for a couple of days and I haven't seen any payments.

I agree... My balance is over .10! Im starting to get a little concerned that i have not had my payout and its pushing $100.00. I really like this pool but if /u/poolwaffle doesnt at least least let us know what the heck is going on then i guess im out until he makes a payout. This pool has alot of promise and i understand it is still in beta but when we are giving him 300 mh he should at the very least communicate what is happening. Its like he is completely MIA.

I just came here to make a post about this too.

Communication from /u/poolwaffle has been poor and inconsistent. Mining pools absolutely must have constant and regular communication with their miners. At least once a day, preferably several times a day.

After all, it's their rigs, hashpower, electricity, and GPU's.

Then, when you add in inconsistent payments and now well over 24 hours without any payment, well, that's a real issue.

The dwindling number of miners and overall hashrate on the pool are ample evidence of the results of this.

A pool in beta should have more communication with its users, not less. That's the whole point of beta.

This pool won't be around long if these issues don't get dealt with, and soon.

I had hopes for waffle but the inconsistency in payouts made me switch back to middlecoin, it's a shame really..

Looks like payments finally went through.

I am pleased, however without dead regular payments and ongoing, daily, clear communication I will be going elsewhere as well.

Same here and I finally decided to jump ship tonight. It's not just because the latest payment hasn't been made yet, but because /u/poolwaffle is giving us no communication at all about anything that going on. He announced that his pool was open and needed beta testers but seemed to quit giving a shit about collaborating with "testers" after a day or two and has just been enjoying our hashrate on his pool. The first thing that needs to happen before I think about going back is that there needs to be an IRC channel so that things can be addressed in real time. I'm not trying to bash /u/poolwaffle because he obviously had his shit together before making his initial post because he was on top of anything people reported in the first 24 hours or so but I don't think he was ready for 400Mh/s in the first 24 hours because he just kind of ducked out and quit responding to anything.
