For you man from their support

"Of course, the minimum payout is currently set at 0.05 so your account does meet the minimum requirements. We've actually reduced the payout interval to 15 minutes temporarily so that all of the backlogged transactions get pushed through in a timely manner. We like to process 20 transactions per interval, that way we can ensure that all transactions properly broadcast onto the blockchain."

This can take time from what we know about them.

Good luck.

Did you request that from the support or did you somehow trigger it from the pool? I'm still waiting for similar amount, but nothing happens.

For the record, they paid me my 0.19 ETH.  I'm switching for now though.

Hi AlainC,

Don't be crazy man, they will say again and again what we want to hear or "This is not our fault", really?! My grandmother got servers and she is sysadmin, she got sick and she lost bit-coins wallet with 70 000 000$ on it, this is kind of story they try to sell. First of all they make you look and feel like ass, because you will write to their support, they will not answer directly on your question, and in the end you will get answer, "stay if you want or take you GPU's and move it, we don't care". That is not what people "sign in" when they look for good pool.

Just small part of their bull s*** (mods, sorry for my words here)

"However, over a period of a week or two the payout should even out, thus your balance would be the same as any other pool. These luck swings are part of the reason why centralization is such a huge problem in mining."

What the hell you are talking about, other pools with 3000 miners (like was yours) don't have any of your issues and less fees and lower payouts. Because of that they are part of pool centralization, and not Alpereum.

From answer(s) I got, i don't trust them any word, and anymore. It's the end and I will say that loud here and all over mining most popular places, don't ever work with them if you want to get invested money on your hardware and kWh.

Only this morning i was on 1300 shares, server goes down, all up again, i didn't have time to check how many shares I mined, and all goes down again, seriously.

When is too much, it's too much.

EDIT:

Before i posted my message i got 2nd one from them, I asked to get my coins, and to add coins for period I lost on their pool:

"You are confusing Alpereum with a PPS (Pay-Per-Share) mining pool. Alpereum is a proportional payout model pool, shares are not paid in advance. A block must be found during the round in order for your balance to be credited. "

Again, really?: You are lost in this world dear Alpereum.

3002 is the standard port since they closed Vardiff

I'm furious of my loses, unfair after so hard work and busy night on my rig, but I can imagine that what it their feeling if their network crashed as they say, after their hard work and busy days on their infrastructure.

I'm confused.  When will they payout?  I still have 0.19 and I haven't been paid.  The message talks about a new port (3002)...  do I need to switch to that port and mine some?  I've already switched to Nanopool, so I'd rather not switch back.

They say they will move to 0.05 payment...
reducing the risk.

Maybe they are honest but they just screwed up, and try to repair. But they cannot invent money they did not earn.
I wish them good luck if they are sincere, but gaining confidence back will be hard.

I switched back to Alpereum to try to get from 0.18 to 0.2 for a payout, but now the pool is down again.  I doubt I'll ever see that 0.18 they owe me.  I'm done with this pool.  It was fine up until a few months ago, but now it sucks. 

gave then a chance yesterday.
got 0.05 on nanopool the day before.
run at 85MH/s for 12 hours.
0.007 added to balance
no block mined for 8 hours, but many before.
pool down (in fact he says my ris was down, but they were down) according to "worker count" from GMT 20:30 to 21:59, moved automatically to nanopool. but only from 21:30-21-50

Hard to imagine the technical problem explaining the gap in profitability.

EDIT: I found the trick.
15 minute before the last bloc was mined GMT 20:45 those B DECLARED ME officially offline, so I was not there for the block.
the problem is that I only moved to nanoppol after 1 hours at 21:20-30 GMT

anyway since I have seen nothing down until 21:20-30,
it is not to exclude the "off" period was not accidental but retroactive.
Is there a swiss citizen to call for inquiry?

Last 50 blocks luck is at 83%.....brutal.

Jumped ship to Nanopool.

Took almost a week to get .1 on Alp. Already received first payout on Nanopool in less than 24 hours.

Glad this outage occurred and opened my eyes or else I'd still be with Alp.

Right now

This is moving from pro to dead pool.

EDIT: 500 miners left today.

Thanks... I just hate to waste the hashing power if I never get paid.   I guess I don't have much choice.

Hi kodiak1120,

Their support maybe will answer to you with "ok", we will pay, (good luck with that, didn't answer to my ticket). Best is if you can wait for 0.02 and then move to other stable pools.

I have like .18 ETH pending...  If I switch pools, will that ever be paid?

It is happening again with the stats. Once I hit 0.2 I'm out. This pool sucks.

Yep,

We can see now: "Last block: 9 hours ago" and they lost about 1000 miners in last 48h and I will add that, you are not paid before new block, they can always set that new block will come in next 24h, clean up users earnings, and close their site. Pools like ethermine update your earnings every hour, this "professional" pool just don't care to provide answer and information to end users when something is wrong with their network/system.

Hope to see more people writing here, to assure that other people just leave from that site.

I won't be back. I've read too many posts and reviews from guys who have had two identical rigs, one pointed at Alp, and one to another pool. Some do it for days, some weeks, some months. Time and time again I read that their earnings on alp were less and by a considerable margin. Clearly this pool has resisted using anything other than proportional mining, which does not reward loyal users but rather allows for pool hopping. Combine that with these blackouts, and a lack of empathy from the team to the point they couldn't even put a note up on their main page when these issues happened this weekend. I'm out sorry.

It's just not worth the risk now that ETH is worth $350.

Usually I trust support, and I was very enthusiastic on this swiss  pool from hearsay (I was ther more for strategic than 1% saving... 2h outage a week is above 1%).
However my rig is stable (on nanopool it is like a clock, I have a HW watchdog, systemd watchdog, ssmtp alerts, automatic bios downgrade on incorrect shares, ) at 85MH/s (3 RX480 OC at 27.5-28.5-29.5 resp)
as produce 0.05 per day,
and since friday 4:11 CESTDST up to today 14:35 I have 0.07548217207423369 +0.00636871465015225
this is 58hours and 0.081 is for 39 hours

for example during the GMT 01:43-5:01 "invisibility of my rig" I produced 500 shares that were accepted, but I don't see it on the balance.
Maybe it is an illusion, but I cannot take the risk. My rig is stable like rock on nanopool since I moved.

Maybe I'll be back when it works, to take my earnings.

Support responded to me and said all shares were counted during the time the stats were not showing up on the web site. Purely a web site problem. Seems to be working for me again.
