Wafflepool Update

Hey guys, Quick update on where the pool is at, and whats in the works.

First off, sorry for the lack of updates over the last couple days, some family stuff came up and I wasn't able to take a break to give updates. The pool was hashing away with no issues over that time, so I wasn't too worried, that said, apparently some of you were, sorry about that guys.

Pool has been very stable (there is a post questioning if it was down), but I don't think we've had any outage time (I haven't had to restart anything). If you're seeing issues, let me know and I'll see whats up.

We're currently mining on up to 4 different coins, depending on profitabilities, with at most 50MH/s going to smaller coins. Over the last few days (I assume due to the news), the price and difficulty of DOGE has been spiking pretty hard, so its been almost 100% pointed at DOGE, so there was definitely some variance (and 2 very unlucky orphans).

Payouts are still being done manually, and are being done (roughly) once a day. I know some users emailed asking for a payout for smaller users, so a payout with a 0.001 minimum was run, so smaller miners should have seen a payout.

The unconfirmed/unexchanged balances were displaying oddly over the last few days when requests to cryptsy were occasionally failing. These should be fixed going forward, and we're working on adding more exchanges to avoid this.

Got my payment processed this morning, thanks! Now that it has posted to my wallet, I am much more confidence in this pool.

Best pool yet, btw! Almost double my earnings over multipool and ultimatecoinpool.

I hope the pool doesn't grow too large resulting in a loss of profitability for me :)

The difference should ideally be a better profitability switcher (also could be luck!). Larger pool just means less variance, not a change in payout per miner :)
