Topic: Strange things happening at this ufo pool : ufo.pcfil.com or ufo.poolto.be (Read 628 times)

Hey all,

Here a little note which I had to find out the hard way.

In the info thread for the UFO coin there is a shortlist of pools, it seems to me that this pool is not completely setup correctly,
or the owner wants to take advantage off the miners that signup to mine there.

So what happened:

I ran my system on several pools and got a nice amount of coins in my wallet and can confirm the transactions either via the pool pages or
via the ufo coin explorer at http://explorer.8x0.net/chain/Ufocoin.
The current reward for finding a block is 5000 ufo coins in credit.

Last Friday jan 10th, I ran my system on the ufo.poolto.be pool and did find a few blocks.
Due to the fact that I was the only miner in that pool at the moment I had a 100% shareamount and would normally see an amount of 5000 ufo minus fee and donation credited to my pool wallet.

But all I see was a lousy 1, yes ONE ufo credited.
In other words, the pool wallet gets a 5000 credit for finding the block by me, but I only get credited by 1.

After sending a support mail to the pool owner I saw a change on two things.

- The block rewards now seem to be the correct amount of 5000. To confirm this I'm runing my system again to see if it is indeed correct.

- The number of confirmations has been raised to 120, which seems to be a pretty high number at the moment since the confirmations
for previous found blocks is still hanging around 90 confirms. I my local wallet recent payments from another pool have 45 confirmations.

In other words, the pool gets the credits for the found blocks, but so far no payouts have been made.

I just checked my mail or ufo wallet again to see if there was any change, but no, no respons from the pool owner in my direction.

Edit 22-1-2014:
After recent e-mail contact with the pool owner the problem is solved and the coins have been credited manualy.
Also pool owner wrote he will not just delete the DNS entry again if a pool doesn't bring what it should or coin is badly developed.
In other words inform his miners instead of just blanking the screen which was a pretty bad experience to me.
