I tried the
http://digitalcoin.scryptmining.com/ because it is a PPS, and I had a 750 unpaid shares that dissapeared
, didnt turn into coins.. And the payment at that hashrate seemed much less then on Big Verns pool...
Whats your username? I'll take a look into it. The only potential for 'missing' shares is an orphan block, but even then, shares just get moved to another valid block and paid out, and would still show under "Paid Shares" or even "Unpaid Shares" until that new block gets confirmed. (given its all proportional the payout remains mostly the same as it would have been on the orphan block).
Edit: found you in the db. I see your last mined block was 37422, you had 757 shares out of a total of 103,671 for .007301 of the round shares. Ledger is showing you got paid out 0.146216 for this block @ 2013-05-27 06:24:05 EST (~3 hours ago as of this post) Which now that I look at it, is in fact more than you should have, wonder if I'm losing a bit off the top of every block!
I run an honest pool, and am always happy to track down and look into any complaints. I notice you seem to have been mining from ~11:30 - 6:30 (EST), we also happened to have some bad luck during some of that period, with a couple different hours only netting 2 blocks
Let me know if this doesn't seem to match up with what you saw.
Honestly, I have no idea any more. All I know is that i have 8.9dgc when I should have had at least 15-20 through that time... And when I already had 8.9dgc i had about 750 more unpaid shares that did not convert into coins... Thats ok i understand that you have more work to do! That is why I just tested the pool and didnt go with all hashing power.
Another problem is stratum.. It has share submit delays and eventualy stratum crashes! It would be good to make a gatework connection also because the stratum is not reliable. Stales are ok at about 3% but that doesnt matter as long as stratus crashes..
