Just got my payout! I guess somebody was late to work today?

@CoinShift

I have a suggestion:

I'm not sure how difficult this might be to implement, but there's something I noticed when I switched on debug mode for my miners today. Keep in mind that I run each miner instance (minerd, cudaminer) as a different worker id, and each computer as well. Every miner, when it connects for the first time, gets a diff of 256, and then adjusts diff to the miner after a share (or a few?) are submitted. With some of my workers, it takes a long time for that to happen at 256. Yes, I know I could always combine them into one worker id, but then it would be more difficult to track each thread's performance, and nearly impossible to identify at-a-glance which one is not mining; this helps keep downtime to a minimum.

What I'm wondering, is it possible for the pool server to 'remember' the last known diff value for each miner? Or, perhaps implement the d=x schema I've seen at other pools?

Couple questions:

Is there something wrong with the website? Some of the graphs on the stats page (both pool and personal) are not loading, and the page itself never finishes loading...

[EDIT] Never mind. A restart of my laptop fixed that particular issue...but not the other one...

And, if not, is there some other reason the graph (and my wallet) shows no payout today?

I don't know why there are so many complainers about this pool. I, for one, will be pointing my hashrates at CoinShift for the forseeable future. The feature that does it for me is the lower daily minimum payout. Every other pool I looked at has a 0.01 BTC minimum for a daily payout. CoinShift is set at 0.001 BTC. I'm not the kind of person who's got a warehouse somewhere with a massive number of mining rigs. I'm just hobby-mining with my gaming rig. 300 kh/s is not enough to get 0.01 BTC in 24h, especially if I use it for gaming instead. But it IS enough to get 0.001 (just a little bit more than that, actually) every day.

I literally signed up to this forum for this one post. I was tired of seeing everyone complaining about not enough btc/mh/24h. Fuck, try doing it with 1/3 of a MH! Quit bitchin', you're all getting paid to do close to (but not quite) nothing! This pool is about saving the coins, if I read the Mission Statement right, and not about being the most profitable, though they're trying (and managing) to keep up with the rest of them.

If Pool X or Pool Y is so much better than this one, go hang out on THEIR forum page. Stop giving bad reviews that wrongly influence people away from CoinShift.

Oh, and @Coinshift, whoever you are, you can rest assured that your pool's total hashrate will never drop below 300kh/s. It's not much, but I'm not going anywhere Except for a couple of my smaller hashrate miners, just to fill the minimum at the other pools I tried.
