I think some bug in auto payment. Set to 0.1, but even after 3-4 hours, still not sending.

I've only had 3 stales out of 1,731 shares and they were caused by me overclocking my video card while mining.

Same with me, I have had well beyond my minimum for quite a while now.

As i said many times before, autopayment runs daily, so it's normal if you get payment after 24 hours (usually in worst case).
Today i'm planning to deploy "Pay now" button to site for those who want to get their money instantly :)

What does proportional payout method means? does it will pay only when a block being found?

Yes, your balance is updated once per hour after the block is found in Proportional mode. You get your part of BTC, generated in this block.

As we can see, someone keeps flooding transaction queue with hundreds of small payments, possibly to force everyone into setting a mandatory transaction fee.
Already more than 1/4 of network is not accepting free transactions, which I don't like because at this time free transactions are a great bitcoin advantage when comparing to another online payment systems.

Regarding this i want to say that my pool will continue to accept free transactions in my blocks. (I alrealy tried to delay this problem by including most of those flood txes when they were generated, but it's not feasible anymore to accept them all)
Also, i'm including all my payment transactions, so pool members will continue to receive their rewards without transaction fees.

I'm glad to hear that. Slush's decision to stop including free transactions was the main reason why I switched from his pool to yours. I hope the spam problem can be resolved. In my opinion, if  paying a fee will become necessary, bitcoin will die. What is the most hated thing about traditional banking? IT'S THE FEES!

Hello:

Just have a question regarding rewards. I currently have about 750Mhash/sec in raw speed which fluctuates between 825Mhashes/sec to 650Mhashes/sec average speed on the account pages. As I understand this is figured is based upon the successful submissions of shares. Based on this average speed my pool % is determined, typically around 1.25%. So far I've participated in the finding of one block, a reward of ~0.24 BTC, I would have expected that 1.25% of the pool would be around 0.625 BTC. Or is it that although I am providing 1.25% of the pool speed, I may not be providing 1.25% of the pool shares?

Paying a fee was always likely necessary in the long run.  You might like sending free transactions, but that also means spammers can spam unlimited numbers of transactions, unless there are some counter-incentives in place.

Use -limitfreerelay in current git.  That will reduce spam, while still allowing free transactions.  Non-spammy transactions with larger amounts and older coins will still have higher "free" priority over spam transactions, while continuing to avoid fees.

The percentage of pool's speed displayed on account page is based on the "luck meter" (the MH/s speed display), which is based on counting your submitted shares per some minutes. It's not very steady value, so real payment is based on exact number of your shares per solved block.
On average those percentages are similar, but "luck meter" is provided as coarse reference only (you may be more lucky in one minute and less lucky in another one), so check stats page for real value after the block will be added there.

Other differnece between hashing speed percentage and shares percentage:
If you join the pool exactly in the middle of a round and get, for example, 10% of pool's speed and this value may be correct. But since you were participating only half the time, your reward share will be only 5% (4.85%, to be precise). So in this case yes, providing 1.25% of pool's speed doesn't equals to providing 1.25% of shares.

If that's the case than I'm afraid that bitcoin will fail. I can't be the only one that absolutely despises fees.

There always will be someone to accept free txes.
We just have to find a way to fight off the bad guys who are flooding to make fees mandatory :)

There is no doubt that everybody likes a free lunch.

Great explanation and if I follow correctly, over say a 24 hour period, the blocks that I fully participate in my reward share % should converge towards my pool speed % ( which again is based on the (un)lucky MH/s meter ).
