Thanks for the reply!
But, it doesn't invalidate the possibility that the particular pool you're using, is scamming! You should always check under "transactions" and have some idea how many confirmations does a pool or coin needs to make them appear in your balance.

It depends on the particular coin you're mining, and the % of hashrate of that pool vs the total for that coin.
On coins that have avg block time of 30seconds and a pool has a large percentage of hash, it will find blocks quickly and so you will get "unconfirmed" coins in 2 or 3 minutes.
On the other extreme, on an unlucky pool it can take a long long time. High variance is very annoying, yes.

For example, if mining with Deepbit is there a minimum time one must run cgminer to have anything added to their Deepbit account balance?
