Yup. I hit the pool yesterday with 300TH.
So you grabbed at least 2 blocks and that 300th will earn for about 120 hours in a row.
You are like me you got some quick coins and now want 3 or 4 blocks as the 300th slides down but not off the list.
Yup. It shoudl at least pay for itself if things stay on course. IF it does, I'll be doing that more often.
On another note, I was renting hashes from betarigs.com and some have a problem with this pool. The admins on betarigs are telling me the pool is unstable/broken and is resetting the connections to the miners. I have no idea how or what that is, but my other miners I run personally run fine, so I don't think this is true. Kano, what do you think?
Well, firstly, the pool uptime is indeed how long ago ckpool restarted. Uptime at the moment is 6 days.
So as long as they aren't complaining about a ckpool restart or anything we've reported here on the forum and in IRC ...
I have a little RPi at home ... that is my media player to my main TV
It is permanently mining to the pool also on the main port so I have a full independent log of connects and disconnects.
My internet is DHCP but I also have a remote log of every time it changes - and those changes should be the only time I get disconnects.
I try to force a DHCP reset at midnight so that should be most of my RPi reconnects.
So checking those 2 logs for the past 7 days
RPi disconnects (UTC+11)

So, 6 days ago (the last disconnect that wasn't midnight) we had network problems and 2 ckpool restarts just after that.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10879416https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10880001Since then no restarts, and no disconnects.
So, yep if they are complaining about the outages on 2015-03-25 that are also mentioned here in the pool thread, well not sure what there is to actually complain about. No pool is going to be up 100% of the time ... see the DDoSs all over the place recently on many pools
If they are complaining about anything since then, well since they have a custom proxy that may or may not implement stratum properly - who knows why else they might get disconnects?
We report when there are problems or ckpool restarts due to code changes/bug fixes here on the forum, and also on IRC.
We keep track of what is going on and post about it here so everyone knows.
I wonder if their complaints are vague and lack specific times?
