Hey there,

There have been a few PMs so this is a generic response I am sending.  Feel free to reply if you need more info.

Due to a large influx of transactions on the Bitcoin network (BTC to be specific) the pool is having difficulty withdrawing funds from currency exchanges.  The withdrawal requests are processed but some exchanges are setting a tx fee too low for the transaction to be confirmed by the network.  The result is pool BTC funds are getting held up in unconfirmed transactions and not making it back to the hot wallet at regular intervals.

If the pool software tries to make a payout run when there are insufficient funds it causes problems that need to be manually fixed by the admin to reverse the failed transactions for each miner.  It is preferable to avoid this problem from occurring in the first place.

For the time being a minimum 1 BTC payout balance has been set for auto payments.  No miner will reach this threshold so the setting effectively disabled auto payments on the normal schedule.  When the pool hot wallet has sufficient funds to make a successful payout run it will be triggered manually, regardless of whether or not it is at a schedule time.

This policy will remain in place until the BTC network stabilizes and then auto payouts will resume as normal.  Other coins continue to pay out on the regular schedule.

Thanks for your patience during this period.

Yeah what gives? Mine says the same can anyone confirm?
