Blackcoin Pool has become a scam; no payouts in days

[ThePhwner]

No payouts since 8/17 from Blackcoinpool. Twitter, IRC, pool news all silent; no updates of any kind and a week with no payouts.

If anyone has actually received a payout recently or knows how to contact the pool op outside IRC please advise.

EDIT: as posted below, received all pending payouts just now. Additional info in next post.

EDIT 9/7/2015: No payouts since 8/31 for 8/30 mining; I have been in contact with chnchapters however the 8/31 and all subsequent payments remain pending. Recommend no longer mining at this pool. Payouts have stopped and per chnchapters there is some level of conflict between the former admins, BCF, etc. The TL;DR is that no one is getting paid right now.

Interesting. I will contact them via Skype to figure out whats going on. I know one is working on wall street and the other is focused on his AI work. I am pretty sure they had someone do the payouts, or they were automatic. Maybe their system went down and they never realised it.

EDIT: They have not checked on it in a while since it flys on auto-pilot now. The API to Cryptsy borked up. Anyways, their lead engineer changed a bunch of scripts so he can't push it manually right now but, he says perhaps around tomorrow it should be resolved once their lead engineer gets back to them.

EDITEDIT: Turns out their probability formula got a little messed up. API somewhere changed on one of the many sites it draws from.

EDITEDITEDIT: Money confirmed to be safe and sound.

I'll keep following up to date on it.
