Wow... Where to even begin.

Pool operator was so sick that for 8 days he was completely incapacitated and the pool was unable to execute a payout.  Assuming you actually believe that nonsense you are accepting that payouts are a completely manual process dependent upon the health and well-being of the pool owner.

Payout delays of 5-7 days are the accepted standard operating procedure.

If you ask nicely in IRC you might be lucky enough to receive a payout.


The hell I can't... Pretty much every other pool qualifies.

I'm all caught up now! s0br was sick for 8 days, and that added the extra time over the normal 5-7 days between payments. s0br is very trustworthy and you will get paid eventually. When you are desperate for a payment head to the IRC channel and politely ask. He was even willing to give the value of the btc owed via paypal to someone earlier today.

You simply can not find a pool that pays more 100% of the time.

And you did not tell me what the pool is now stable

Registration is closed. Consider yourself lucky that it is. And that is not the only non truth on the first page. To many good pools to mess with this one even if you could register.

Now up to 87.51579478 in the last 24 hours, with 168.45668773 in the queue. I'm in that queue for both the current and previous difficulties.

Currently, the pool has one untouched block(25btc), and the 13.45btc balance of the last block before that, as funds.

It looks like they have paid out some more since your post and they still have one block waiting to confirm so maybe you will get paid soon....

I just got my old difficulty paid today in full, not a huge amount but thought I'd let people know. they paid 75 btc today

i guess i wasnt part of this payout.. going on 13 days for me.

The last two blocks found are still sitting around in their block payout address:

https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/address/3ANNmTrxJQvTyS6P9APinGu1xLdVxKeqYN

The one before that, is questionable on who holds most of the value now:

Looks like I might have to sit around on the irc channel, if s0br asks who wants to be paid. I say this, because odds are 50btc, might not be enough to run what ever automatic setup there is. But if two more block were found, I think a normal payout run would be made.

Yes but a lot of that is due to the pool's miners as I am sure the pools is most the hash right now.

The most disturbing thing I see right now is the pool has found a block a day the last 3 days. It only shows @12 BTC paid out over the last 3 days and no payouts in the last 24 hours. Also there no blocks to be confirmed not even the one that was found yesterday? So now where are the blocks going?

Our combined outstanding balance in queue to be paid is 203.35684919 Bitcoin.

that's almost 50,000$

if someone puts in a ton of hash for a short time, but no blocks are found during that time, the pool loses funds that it can never recover..

This does not make sense to me.... as even with a large amount of hash as you state for a "short time"  the pool will not be on the hook for a lot of coin and if the pool gets a lucky streak the pool could recover. What makes it hard to recover is the hacks of the pools wallet, the paying of the 10% bonus(now 1%), charging no fee and a prolong bad luck streak. Now I can understand the OP using the pool as a loss leader for another business purpose and this is what was always said what the purpose of the pool was, but no other business has come along, so as stand alone pool can not profitable and the late/missing payments show it.

As far as the rentals I think is the past rentals were finding a way to take advantage of the pool and they were stopped, but I believe they were allowed again later once something was changed.

EDIT: Our combined oustanding balance in queue to be paid is 191.80840895 Bitcoin.  

also  the pool is paying for a lot of servers...

this is the downside of a PPS pool.. specially one with NO FEE..

if someone puts in a ton of hash for a short time, but no blocks are found during that time, the pool loses funds that it can never recover..

it did say in the faq tho (not sure if its still there) that if someone put hash from rentals in the pool their account will be closed and the funds forfeited.. but i guess they arent doing that.

i think a lot of rig rentals gets pointed there, as the pool hash rate varies wildly from 2 - nearly 6 ph, combined with people piling on hashing power when the pool's on top of itself, and then moving it when the payments aren't going out on time, only to move it back then when it gets cleared.

I'm waiting to get paid too, but still waiting and seeing what happens. I've been mining on the pool through good and bad since October, and my review was updated a while ago to change the regularity of earnings from 5 to 1, and a note mentioning the issues. but right now its down under 1.4phs with less than 1000 workers. So two effects there, less hashes to go towards finding blocks, but also will slow down the liability growing as fast as it has been.

PPS pools are the most vulnerable to cheats

What I'm truly not understanding is why are blocks taking so much time and effort? Since the beginning of the year there have been four blocks found that required more than 200,000,000,000 shares to find. I compare that to bitminter, and they didn't have one that bad. So are the shares being calculated differently at the two pools or does BitAffNet just have awful luck some of the time, probably due to pool jumping?

The more recent you go the worse it looks, but luck has not been around for four weeks according to the stats. And past 12 months is showing a 10% bonus, now 1% bonus, is and was impossible. A 2.06% fee since the beginning might have the pool decent, but that still doesn't even pay for any of the nodes around the world.

Last 24 Hours   284.48%
Last 7 Days   160.15%
Last 2 Weeks   132.64%
Last 4 Weeks   114.09%
Past 12 Months   102.06%

I hope you get paid, but it just seems its time to stick a fork in it.

my last payout from them was 7 days 18 hours ago. i moved my miners, but they still owe me a balance.

Just a update....
