I don't think it's a scam, though I did thought so at first.
2 days ago I started mining for 16 hours with ~330Mah/s and it shows I need to get paid for 2.1 PPC when confirmed, I immediatly switched to coinotron, but I just entered my profile and it shows that half of my shares are accounted for (some still waits confirmations) and my balance is 5.33790279 PPC..

So I don't know, maybe the estimated PPC is wayyy off, but it does eventually gives you the coins at the end?

What did it actually send to your wallet? What was displayed on the page and what it actually sent me were very different

I am also pretty sure stiff owns the pool or is affiliated with it somehow, so his opinion isn't relevant (his posting history is almost entirely about vpool)

also BTC-E, Coinotron and Bitparking. May be mtgox too? Grin

Can you address our concerns or are you just going to call us names and try to scam more people?

people have raised legitimate concerns (like me, I haven't called you a scam or anything, I said rounds don't work as they should, and they don't), and that's your answer? Maybe now I should call it a scam.

If others can post their experiences that could be great. So far it feels like a scam or just poorly put together

It looks that way. Stay away from this pool. IT has SCAM written all over it.

IMHO of course.

Well, OP is a Russian (just saying), claims vpool is being hosted on the Amazon cloud, and it's actually listed as hosted in Switzerland if you do a traceroute.

I go down to my basement tonight for some RAM upgrades, and its really cool (temperature). I know something is up. I log into my rigs, and they're at half the hashrate they're supposed to be for averages. I see I am getting constant pool disconnections. Sorry, this pool isn't for me. Admin, you gotta fix your shit. You probably cost me in the area of $150 because my miners were not 100% active all night. Also, I am not seeing any rewards for mining during this period. We found TWO blocks, but I am not seeing any indication what my reward is anywhere.

I'm getting very high reject levels mining PPC on vPool, 5-10%. I don't get that with Coinotron, and didn't get it with bitparking either.

http://ppc.vpool.us/about

PPLNS is not for pool hoppers. Share difficulty has been change and block rewards too, thus and so "Estimated Per Payout" is variable.

The pool has been stuck in the same round forever and proportionally pays per share per block because the rounds aren't configured properly. I know how PPLNS works. This pool doesn't work how it should. Being PPLNS, theoretically, since my shares were half of total of the pool, I should of gotten 1/2 of the reward during the round (although I shouldn't exactly have had those shares because if a round cutoff was present it would have been different).

Either way.... I got a grand total of 160ppc for mining 12hours with hash rates that should give me 3000ppc per 24hours. I don't know where the other ppc went considering I had more shares than everyone else combined and and 3 blocks were found.

I am one of those who first try this pool when my power is not allowed to be solo mining. last time I worked more than 60 hours after block 39,597 and left without waiting. Now pool paid reward for block 40,096 and I got the coins. I think everything is taken into account. On buttom statistics page seen
Note: Round Earnings are not credited until 520 confirms!

Something is off. The "Estimated Per Payout" does not seem right.
I pointed 2.7G (est. daily payout 250 PPC/day) rig and run it for ~90 minutes, the "Estimated Per Payout" is showing 2.8 PPC for the 90 minutes I was on the pool. It works out to ~45 PPC/day. Is the operator collecting the remaining 200 PPC/day?

I'll see if I get paid 15 PPC (I should be getting not 3) for the 90 minutes I was on the pool. After the 520 blocks of course... Wink
