...and we're back!

Just recieved a payout notification. Hopefull everyone else is back up too. Would like to know what happened though, and is it possible to implement a "pay me now" button rather than manipulating the normal threshold every time you need an immediate payment? Does anyone else think this is a handy feature?

Yep, I've shifted my miners elsewhere for now, just hoping to understand the cause. I'm sure it's nothing nefarious, but I like to know that I have access to my coins, i.e. liquidity.

Anyone else having payout issues? I don't seem to be able to trigger a payout regardless of how far below my confirmed amount I set the threshold. I've also tried setting the threshold to my confirmed amount plus a small buffer (less than my share of the next confirmed round) to try and trigger that way). I have a valid wallet.
Is there any scope for a "pay me now" button?

What a great idea, I'm opening market right now...

Look in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin

Note: the AppData folder is hidden, you'll have to edit folder options to see it.

I think that having a recognisable symbol is important, but I wonder whether basing it on the "B" is too anglophone-specific. A global currency should be recognisable in any language.

As a philosophical question: does this count?

The system for newbies is an encumbrance, such a pity we can't just be responsible.
