Even if they carry over, is that still not a poor average? Say I was to get and average of .001 btc per round for two rounds. If a full length rounds worth of shares go to 0 blocks found, and the next is normal, that's a total of .001 btc, 50% profit regardless. While this is a great strat to minimize loses, it still does not make up for the lost time. If it did, they would be paying out more than taking in.
My only beef with this is that last night, after one of the admins came to mention why the stratum was disconnecting, I was thrilled he did so, so I wasn't fumbling in the dark again. One then mentioned some time later how many of the rounds were short and/or ended before finding a block because of these issues, something that was not posted with the "connection issues" post. These are not just unpaid, poorly informed rounds, they were outright failures in generating and profit. It was seemingly opportunistically left out, because how many people would stick around mining overnight if they knew?
I find the accusation that some info was purposefully left out fairly offensive at this point, but perhaps I've just been at it a bit too much the past 2 weeks. We've had 850-1,000Mh/s steadily while the website was completely non-functional, I'm not going to be worried about "how many people would stick around mining overnight if they knew" at this point. On top of that, I'd never have purposefully left anything broken over night. If me spending the better part of my christmas vacation working on things + aTriz and I's availability on irc isn't proof of this, what can I say.
As to the matter at hand, there were 2 seperate and unrelated stratum issues. The 2nd one was not immediately identified until the morning. Yes, its potentially going to be a rough payout day, we had our issues over-night/today. Trust us, the last thing we wanted after finally getting the new portal out was to run into issues with the new stratums put in place, but here we are. We'll continue to do what we have been, trying to make things better for miners. We profit when you profit.
