I've received 2 payouts in the past 60 hours. Perhaps it is payout size which is an issue? Are you a VIP member?

[gemstone]

There was already an issue with payouts Sat / Sun and I was lucky enough to catch Blaksmith in the webchat. I received e-mails that
a payout occurred, but payment never reached the wallet. He explained that they were experiencing DDOS and lagged on the chain.
Within a few minutes he initiated or did something to fix the payouts. I received all missing payouts within minutes. Payouts were working
until late Monday 11/11 when I received the last payout before 3 payout e-mails that did not come to the wallet.
It has nothing to do with VIP or not. I tried WebChat on Tues, but got no response.
I was hoping that somebody was monitoring the fundamental functions of the pool and either put some message on the pools
main site about the issue or trying to get it fixed. Since CloudFlare is still in front of the web page I assume the DDOS is ongoing,
however, with no answers and no payouts my hardware moved someplace else.
This is just my experiences for the last week.

[vesperwillow]

It's curious some folks (myself) are getting payouts, and others aren't. I know VIP members and certain others, are ahead of the queue for payouts/verification. That's why I asked since it may make a difference.

I'm about to get another payout soon.

Still waiting for payment from:  2013-11-13 21:00:27  and two more after that (2013-11-14 23:33:03  & 2013-11-15 06:29:10)

Got email notify for first one, but not others.

Bored of asking in a silent IRC chat really.  Zero support so far in this pool.

This pool has great support... something is up lately to keep the admins quiet.

The difficulty of mining has quadrupled in less than two months, you're going to make far less:


Along with the earnings reduction expected from high difficulty, pool mining during the current difficulty has also been affected by bad luck. As the pool has a smaller percentage of mining vs the big ASIC farms, variability is increased. This is the nature of any pool that doesn't have PPS (with the pool owner taking all the risk), there's going to be periods with either more or less block finds than expected.

Average number of shares per block has been 1275M, whereas expected is ~difficulty of 511M. However, the DGM payment system has actually mitigated variance and luck risks, spreading miner earnings across multiple rounds, for an average per-block payout of 40.1BTC instead of 25.

You must keep separate your evaluations of miner earnings, which fluctuate due to the "lottery" nature of mining and accumulate far after you've submitted shares due to DGM delay, with issues withdrawing funds, which should happen automatically shortly after your earning threshold has been reached.

I, and a few others, have now received our payouts. Thanks Graet. Everyone check your wallets now.

My payout says that it happened but it hasn't.
It has not gotten to my wallet

Website even sends me a link to see my wallet balance but does not show the transaction.

Please rectify.

For those of you who mine at Ozcoin and have iPhones, check out my FREE Ozcoin Mining Monitor app for the iPhone:

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ozcoin-mining-pool-monitor/id706563938?ls=1&mt=8

The app is not working anymore for me (total hashrate, round duration, estimated payout and pool hashrate values are always zero).

Mine hasn't showed up either.

ozcoin website shows a "completed payout" was sent:

[ 2013-11-17 16:00:11 ]

And currently, ozcoin website shows "Server Time: [ 2013-11-18 19:35:02 CET ]"

It simply hasn't hit the blockchain yet as far as I can tell.

[xscape23]

Same issue.

Just a small payment was meant to happen 2013-11-18 00:30:19 but still isnt showing up

[deadlyasp]

Bound to be a backlog, all mine came through a few days ago

Average number of shares per block has been 1275M, […]

The number of shares per block above cannot be accurate because it's clear now that currently the pool's web interface cannot account for more than 2147483647 shares per block:


Maybe it's time to use an unsigned int (or a long) to count submitted shares per block…
Anyway, I wonder why the "Moving Average" luck is so high… is it only bad luck or there are other problems, too?

POT payout system will be disabled for BTC mining 0000 UTC 20/11/2013
due to ongoing bad luck/low level attacks that disrupt pool

Noooo, it's a shame!
Thank you very much for all your efforts anyway.
Is there a possibility that POT will be resumed in the future if the pool will have enough good luck and the attack will cease?

yes indeed, just cannot afford the slow bleed to continue at the moment
hoping to get merged mining of namecoin back to help attract more miners

I see what you are saying, there seems to be a maximum of exactly 2147483647 (2^31) shares hit for several long rounds with obviously more shares than that. Hopefully this is not also happening in the accounting backend.

I noticed that my unpaid POT balance was still incrementing after the web interface hit the 2^31-1 maximum value so the backend should be OK.

[inevertell]

My payout happened today. (but with no transaction fee the wait time on confirmation is est. 28 hrs! lol)
