Could you clarify if the transaction took 3 hours to confirm on nano as well or did nano say confirmed...  hours for cryptopia? I've had a handful of payouts since I started mining ETN and so far everything has been really quick, today though I have a confirmed trans on nano and still not even a pending on cryptopia. I am a bit worried about the fact that cryptopia does say do not mine to it (will they see 500 ETN getting sent very periodically and start questioning it? or is that just a liability thing that they can say... well we told you not to do that if something goes wrong).

As far as other posts with hashrates etc, I am slightly above whattomine estimates, my hashrate doesn't close to match (from miner to site) but I understand that the hashrate as viewed from the site is based on shares and shares are a function of variance based on the pool hashrate and overall hashrate of the coin... even a fairly big miner will see big variance here.

If one wanted to, they could come up with confidence intervals for periods of time. It makes absolutely no sense that one pool rewards more than another if they are all playing fair and using the same script (and not a horrible service that misses shares, stale shares, goes down etc). A small pool WILL take longer to find a block, but come on guys, let's think about this... if 20 people share a block every hour or if 200 people share a block every 6 mins      Absolutey do pay attention to down time or missed/stale shares, I have seen this change pool to pool, I would be lying if I said I fully understand the stale share thing, but I have seen less on nano than some others, haven't explored all that many though to be honest, I really like the nano interface.
