does anyone actually who tried merged mining get 100% VTC/MON/PLX equially according to their hashrate? I go less with merged mining so I gave up. It looks suspicious to me I got half as much as I expected for each coin.
Early miners on proxypool never received their coins, this is how it works. You have to stay there for long time due to pool payout nature. Also, there was worst payout bug ever. My worst pool experience.
well i mined for 2 days straight to be sure.. was a waste (or theft) of my hash
You're not talking about the same thing though are you? If you tried triple mining you either did so on a centralized pool or solomining by running a p2pool node. So jiwany I'm guessing you feel you wasted your time on a centralized pool, while sammy didn't get his due from a proxypool?
The proxypool payout script was indeed quite buggy in the beginning, it did pay out but didn't mark transactions as paid, and because of how the payout scheme works this meant you had to keep mining there to get paid. If you were on a big node early on then jumped ship, you basically got pushed back to the end of the queue for payments, as they go out to the most recent shares first. As no shares were being tagged as paid, your initial hash most likely got wasted unless the operator fixed his backlog.
What this means is that the ones who stayed on those nodes most likely got paid multiple times for their shares once the pool hit a lucky streak. Once the backlog bug was fixed, unless the operator had already fixed his backlog database like I did, those shares most likely got paid once again as the script worked it's way back through the shares.
So to summarize: the payout script was buggy until ~Thursday 9th of May, some people got paid too much, some people too little, and mining on a proxy p2pool requires patience as variance can be high and payments go out on a last come, first serve basis!
