The pool is screwed, I don't get any payout for 15mins, while I see there are many blocks found there.
Hi,
mining there myself. It seems to have a very short PPLNS warmup time (I'd guess 5min or below), yet still quite high of a share difficulty, i.e. the difficulty you must reach before there is a payout at all. There seem to be few shares in the chain, so already having one share in the chain leads to relatively high payouts.
In other words, depending on your hash rate, if you would get an average of 10kASC/h, you might end up with 55mins of nothing and then 5 mins in which you make those 10kASC.
Share diff seems to be around 300-450, so only after you have submitted a share like that, will you be "qualified" for payouts. As luck will have it, you may have multiple in a straight row, or none at all for a while.
If you use bfgminer, finding a share looks roughly like this:
[2013-09-12 20:06:43] Stratum from pool 3 requested work update
[2013-09-12 20:06:43] Accepted 0023c472 MMQ 5c pool 3 Diff 576/16
A "Requested work update" usually means that _someone_ on the pool found a share. If it's in the same second as one high-diff share found by you, you can be quite confident that you were the one with the qualified share, and can expect payouts within the next 2 blocks found by the pool.
Good luck :-)
