Thanks man, really...

So, Troy, will you answer us, please?

You're closing the pool, ok, it's your right, but please give us our FTC...

Well here is some information I dug up for those that want to know what's going on

FC/Day estimate seems to be calculated wrong.
FC has 200 coins in a block, so should get 4x what it estimates.

Still no answers from the guy... This is no way to manage a pool... Did I just get owned by my first scammer on Btctalk?

https://cryptonit.net/exchange/ltc/ftc

Trading @ 40 LTC / 1K FC

Looks like a strong IPO... It will bring people to this market...

where do you see trading of FC there?  I still dont see FC in the dropdown box.

I had 3K+ FC in there... Hard to know exactly how many as the refresh was so delayed... I still haven't got any answer from him... I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, and I hope he's just really busy with Anzac day and all, but I can't say I'm too happy with his management of the pool, and I hope I didn't just lose 3K+ FC which happen to be trading @ 37.5 LTC / 1K on Cryptonit right now...

Yeah, as soon as the site was having issues at roughly 45 mhash when the pool was stable for days before with almost the same hash rate, I started getting an uneasy feeling. I then looked up his username and found that he was only a member here for 1.5 months. I'm going to wait a few more days for him to check in here. Then I'll be pulling my miners away from his new pool which right now I have 2 rigs down temporarily but I'll be back up to 10 mhash next week.

For those that had a balance with his old pool, how many Feathercoins were in there.

I had approximately 8500 Feathercoins

I have sent several PMs to Viperaus about the state of the pool and the FC that's stuck on the pool... I haven't received any answer so far.

I'm starting to get an awkward vibe about this, it's not smelling too good... I hope this won't degenerate in an unfortunate way...

I've got a small-medium sized pool running very smoothly and paying out exactly correct.  come on over and help us.. we've hit
5 blocks in about 16hrs with about 7MH/s- 9MH/s.

Its not stratum but its running great with over 98% efficiency.

All TX's have died since my last payout 
TX ID of last payout = 14531
I'll switch to another pool until you can sort this....

The pool is down it seems... I've been mining there with a decent hashrate for quite some time. I haven't cashed out yet. I certainly hope Viperaus will bring the pool back online soon and this will all be fixed...

I'm going to PM Viperaus now and hopefully he'll come back in this thread and answer a few questions. Normally I'd wait a bit longer than 24 hrs, but being he is a new member with only a bit more than 1 month as being a member I'm sure he can understand some of us questioning what's going on.

Ok so cgminer shows 260K/230Kh/s while the site shows about 34kh/s.  Thoughts?

The problem may be that it is calculating blocks of 50; in line with LTC. Simple Pool had the same issue earlier.

Wacky payouts for me there. Have been mining for the last few days and while my shares are being accepted at a similar rate my payout has increased only the smallest decimal point. I'm hoping it will get figured out but not expecting much. My payout for the last 2 days is about 1/300 of the previous two days, which if anything, should have been higher as my mining program was running full time. oh well, see what happens.

Hi thanks and yes I didn't fully understand it, my Bad!!  Having been spoilt for so long on LTC PPS I was trying to work some form of PPS into my calculations for this pool and unfortunately it doesn't work like that, In the end I ended up with just shy of 56 for my 12 hours so it's not bad at all, although I'm not sure were the online Feathercalcs get 200+ from at current difficulty?.... Anyway all seems OK & I'll be switching back to this pool later on this morning.

This just sounds like you might either not know this is PPLNS or might not fully understand it?  Did it not strike you as weird that you'd received 10 FC if you'd mined 20,000 shares and had all 20,000 left to count?  You don't have shares "left to count" that isn't how it works.  You have to get your share count up and then you get paid based on your proportion of the pools shares whenever the pool finds a block.  If you'd kept hashing there, @1260 you'd probably be up to something like 6 FC per block  / ~52/day

FWIW, I just switched to this pool yesterday after having lots of problems with p2pool and it has been working great!  automatic payout is working fine, my hash rate is fairly steady, low reject ratio, etc.

Hi,
I cashed out a few FCs (just under 100) from the original pool (mine.altpool.com) earlier on today, and they still haven't shown up in my wallet. They have disappeared from my account though. Could you check it once you have a chance? Username is hughperman.
Thanks!
Hugh

Still waiting on a FC payout for my 550k/h session that lasted 8 hours. This session ended 56 hours ago, and so far I have only been paid .004FC total, and that payment was well over 24 hours ago. This mining work was done on the original server. No comment received even though I have made two prior posts in this thread about this issue.
