Hi,

I am mining at Middlecoin using two different receive addresses (4 rigs mining with one address, 2 rigs mining with another address).

1) 1728wMw4c3me9SHdaWMRA3Ue1JRAgHw6nm (label = middlecoin-me)
2) 112ChqhtNhSSYi3hBeNBW1bMkFD265Utcm (label = middlecoin-shared)

As you can see, Middlecoin paid out to these addresses early this morning:

1) http://www.middlecoin.com/reports/1728wMw4c3me9SHdaWMRA3Ue1JRAgHw6nm.html (0.04126948 BTC)
2) http://www.middlecoin.com/reports/112ChqhtNhSSYi3hBeNBW1bMkFD265Utcm.html (0.02319525 BTC)

I would expect to see two transactions in my wallet. Instead I see one, for 0.06446473 to "middlecoin-me" which is the total of these two above. I can't understand how this could happen?

Both transactions are listed here: http://blockchain.info/tx/9856b050c2c96b1c57e3fe64b6406d810735860d2bfd5f1e5ce0d82901e1ad3d

1) http://blockchain.info/address/1728wMw4c3me9SHdaWMRA3Ue1JRAgHw6nm
2) http://blockchain.info/address/112ChqhtNhSSYi3hBeNBW1bMkFD265Utcm

Could someone please help? I wanted these transactions to be split up not merged and I had assumed that having separate addresses for the same sender would work.

Thank you.

The pool made a single transaction that paid to two different addresses owned by you. That's not how normal payments work at the moment, so MultiBit just picked the first address for the UI label arbitrarily. Under the hood though it's  all working fine.

Thanks Mike. Indeed, this morning Multibit has a combined payment under the address labelled "Middlecoin-shared" (yesterday being the other one).

I suppose the only way around this when mining at Multicoin is to have two separate wallets then. Otherwise I have to keep a manual record somewhere of the individual payments.

Why does it matter? Is there some compelling reason you want to have two different addresses for mining payouts?

Anyway yes, the way to do it is to create two different wallets.
