Missing payout from Slush

[bitcoinatic]

Hello, All:

I know this isn't the right channel for this, but as a newbie, I can't post to the appropriate channel yet, so here goes.

I've been mining as part of the Slush pool for a few months now. I received two 0.05 BTC payouts as expected, but the last one (which should have occurred a few weeks ago) never arrived. My bitcoin wallet wasn't running when the payout should have happened, but my understanding was that that was OK and I'd get the 0.05 BTC when my wallet came up.

Instead, it looks like the 0.05 BTC was silently deducted from my account (there is no record of it in my payout history), and needless to say it never appeared in my bitcoin wallet.

Anyone else experience this, or any tips to recover my BTC? I tried posting in the slush mining irc channel about this, and they told me to post on bitcointalk.

Thanks,

Can someone cross-post this in the appropriate channel please? I understand Slush won't see this here. I'm seeking support to get this payout issue resolved. Thanks!
