Very interesting. Any long term users of this pool can post reviews?
Yeah, I have been using this pool for about a month, I really don't know what is so damn hard for people to understand. The guy that compares how much he got vs solo mining the coin is missing the entire point, of course you'd get more of the main-chain coins just solo mining. Your hash is split up over the main coins, like litebar only gets 2% of total hash power. The sec-chain coins like USC get 100%.
And there is no way to 'choose' a main coin, you mine them all, whether a wallet is configured or not, I would like it to have normal hash-power per coin and stuff like that but it does have a block list for all the coins (except LEAF for some reason.... I guess they haven't gotten around to adding it to the site yet). At only 380kH/s I am getting around 0.0047 btc a day, when I was solo mining DOGE I was getting about 0.0035 btc a day. So overall I am making more money than I was solo mining coins.
Sometimes it will take a very long time to get paid, like DOGE for example, I don't really know why this is but I only get paid any doge every 3-4 days, but its everything that I should have been paid throughout that time. And SPH and BUR have been set to only payout 2x per day do to too many transactions too quickly slowing up payment processing all around. The rejects have been taken care of by new code on the server side, I know get 0% rejects all around. You also get better hashrates from using the cgminer-3.7.2 by kalroth with the xIntensity settings, using this allowed me to set the gpu-threads to 2, cut the thread-concurrency to half, and increase my 350-80 kH/s to 380-420kH/s. So even if you don't use manicminer, I'd still suggest using the kalroth cgminer version for any coin, you'll get more power and there seems to be less load on the system and my card is actually 1C cooler than with just 1 thread and double the thread-concurrency.
This site is not perfect by a long shot but I do like it, and the support is very responsive, I have emailed them several times with either problems or questions and they usually respond within a day unless it requires them to really dig into the logs.
I can say that I personally doubt that this is a scam, I seem to be getting paid what I should get paid based on the percentage of hash power that is suppose to be on each coin. If you look at it like all coins somehow get the same amount of hash then obviously you will think something is wrong because you can't understand what is actually going on. It's actually kind of sad to read all these posts by people whom I'd assume would actually know something about how cryptocoins works, but its a bunch of ignorance slapped about like gospel.
Sure the BUR, ORG, USC, FSC, are either not on an exchange or exchange for only 1 satoshi but that doesn't mean that they will -never- be on an exchange and will only ever be 1 satoshi, why not take the free coins? And LEAF is already on cryptsy, the price has bounced between 1 and 3 satoshi but doesn't mean it will always be that...
If you don't like the idea for whatever reason then you don't have to use the pool but tell people its a scam just because you can't do the math correctly is a pretty shitty move in book.
