PSA: PPC Miners, do not use vpool.us, it's probably a scam

Just read the thread on vpool, we are pretty sure it is a scam. If it's not a scam, it's very poorly put together.

Most of the shares you mine end up being called invalid by the pool, and the pool pays you jack crap for hours of mining. All of us running into this invalid share issue do not have issues with it on other pools. We are pretty sure the pool operator is really just skimming off the top of everyone's work (and skimming a lot at that), and just calling it invalid shares as an excuse to pay out so little.

Miner beware.

I figured this out by myself. I got 0 coins from 24 hours mining.

Yeah people are still using vpool for some reason when it's an obvious scam. I make more on Coinotron with 12% fees than I do on Vpool with a "1%" fee

I make frc pre-mine on vpool and all is well. It's PPLNS reward pool as p2pool and etc.  Just need mine for a long time and wait block's confirm.
For example my main rig on BTC P2Pool 5 days without reward!!!

I just mined for over a day too with no reward so far.
