Thanks for the reply. My min threshold has always been set to 0.1. I reset it to 0.103 last week when I wasn't getting any response, then reset to 0.1 to see if it would jog something loose - no good. Since then the host has removed the manual payout tab, which never worked anyway.

I haven't started CGMiner in over a week - no sense wasting electricity to enrich a scammer.

I'm not jumping to another pool until I get a response here. I really don't see any profit to be made without a dedicated and expensive (ASIC) mining setup. I got into this whole thing too late to have any fun or $. I'm not spending another $300 (add another 7950) to $3500 (ASIC) based on past experiences.

Thanks

Still no payout or contact from BTCOxygen - have to label this pool as a SCAM. Has anyone gotten a payout?? I was jaded, now I'm pi$$ed!

Goodbye cruel world of bitmining!

I've only been mining for a month, and my first impressions of the whole Bitcoin Experience are jaded to say the least. I reached the threshold a week ago and I'm still waiting for an automatic payout. There is no way to execute a manual payout and no way to contact the host. Thankfully I've only got 0.1 BTC to lose.

After having to multi-post as a newbie to be "entitled" to post in this thread I finally get a chance to speak "somewhat" directly to BTCOxygen. I stopped mining last week in this pool until I get some sort of response. Hopefully I get a payout soon. Like Pink said...Is there anybody out there?

I only started a mining a month ago and difficulty has gone from 12 to 19.3 in that short period.

Will difficulty rise so quickly that single GPU miner's  like me will have no profit all? Especially when ASICS become widely available. I only started as an experiment.

Soon only the rich will be able to mine - Ah capitalism!

Still no auto payout from this pool and no way to contact host. I have no idea how to send a message over IRC. More than a week over the threshold and still no response. Anyone know how to get their BC's?

I am past the automatic payout threshold and I have tried to complete a manual payout - doesn't work. Also, there is no way to contact the host.  Anyone know how to get in contact with BTC Oxygen?
