I would like to know more but it's probably best to post your claim in the
Scam Accusation board. Don't forget to add more proof.
I have no idea why these threads keep popping up but there is a history. If you look hard enough you can
find it in the old zpool thread before the pool admin shut it down and started a self moderated thread
to keep the issue quiet.
About 2 years ago I noticed that the balance credited after an exchange was 20% lower than the value
before exchange. Others noticed it too and some posted detailed data with screenshots before
and after. Some even went into the yaamp code to figure out where the value was being lost.
It was narrowed down to the actual exchange from the mined coin to BTC, the BTC credited to the balance was
20% less than the amount deducted from the pending..
The pool admin never took the issue seriously and dismissed users' complaints as due to price volatility.
This was despite the fact that it occurred with multiple coins and was always the same amount,
roughly 20%.
The problem was difficult to reproduce as it required a pool with only one coin and mining must be stopped
with only one block. Then the value of that block can be tracked through maturation and exchange.
Normal fluctuations occurred due to price variations but there was a sudden drop in value when the pending
was moved to the balance. That drop was clearly visible in the graph.
Under most mining condtions this drop gets buried in the background of all the other coin activity.
The lack of investigation by the pool admin really pissed me off as that attitude implies he knew what
was going on and was trying to cover it up. A conciencious admin would do an investigation to prove
one way or another if the users' complaints were legitimate. No such investigation ever took place.
I have no idea if the problem still occurs at zpool or if it ever occurred in any other yaamp based pool
but the admin's attitude still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I had high regard for zpool and its precedessor
prior to this, but now, not so much.
