We are not going anywhere. This and BTCGuild are the best two pools. Diversify, but stick with quality.
How does sticking with a slow pool that has quality help? I could take weeks at these block rates to get out your BTC. Why would i not go to a 50phash pool and help them hit blocks every 10-20 mins? All that means is I see payouts in a few hours if I stop mining there. on Minter it could take weeks to for them to hit enough blocks to pay me out.
Why would it take weeks to get your BTC out on BitMinter? Did it take weeks last time you mined here?
I agree we need minter to get more hashers but how?
I would come back if the fees were free to match ghash.

Pool's aren't magic; they need attention and hardware, neither of which is free. If you're not paying a fee, you're paying for the service some other way.
Few days back I mined on Minter for 25 hours. I saw the payout/block increasing but no blocks being hit. So I had done complete shifts and watched to see what happens.
after nothing coming back at the end of that 25 hours I thought I would try ghash. Actually I had a split of miners some on ghash and some on minter to start. The ghash ones were paying in hours. and based on my calcs I was getting a good amount for the hash I was submitting. On minter i was watching the number climb and still no block.
So I moved them all to ghash and they payout every ~12 mins on block from less than an hour ago. The pool says it is zero fee and I don't see them taking anything other then when i transfer out they took .0001 for fee. Then bitminter hit a block and I got .03btc of the equal .128 btc i got from ghash. so ghash has be making the same.128/day since and the bitminter hit another block and I got 0.00008200 with future of 0.03795709 at a current rate of 0.00008259/block and droppping.
I have 5.5thash I would gladly bring back if I could see actually getting BTC here in the near future. But if the hash rates keep dropping then it will only get slower to make.
Don't get me wrong. Bitminter is cool and I would bring my stuff here. I just wish i could see returns at the same pace as I see on the other pool. Without an increase in phashers that can't happen.
I have been told it will all work out the same if you stick with it. But when I can have the btc in my wallet now for todays work or in a few weeks then I think it is an easy choice.

. Of course I just got a 20port hub and a power brick to molex connector for extra cooling too. Cheers to everyone sticking with bitminter though. Hopefully loyalty will have its rewards.
