I've noticed the delay as well.  I think it's the sheer volume of Dodgecoin that is effecting Cryptsy's ability to process transactions in a timely manner.  I've seen some of my pending deposits with 400+ confirmations.

On the bright-side, it looks like dodgecoin's value is rising again.

Thanks ltcboi

Do sites typically advertise that they're using a PPLNS payout?

For example, I tried mining GDC on miningpool.co and the number of coins have been far below the projections.  I don't see miningpool.co mention PPLNS...

Hi Everyone,

My first post on Bitcointalk.org...

I've been using the mining calculators to see the potential number of cryptocoins I should be receiving based on my hashrate.  However, I'm getting differing amounts of coins in return for my contribution.  I'm wondering if the distance between my location and the mining pool is an issue?

I usually let my guiminer run for 24 hours so that I can get a decent baseline.
