r00k: Those messages you saw were from the daemon powering the paper wallet site. I cannot speak for the people running that site but I think your assumptions were correct.

No this hasn't happened before.

There was no silence, I said clearly I would gather addresses first in order to bundle them into bigger batches. I also need to sleep sometimes and since manually correcting a failure such as this in an otherwise highly automated system involves a lot of manual labor that does not allow the slightest mistake, I decided to do that in the morning. Anyone who has mined here for some time knows that scamming miners if not exactly what I'm known for.

Payments for first 5 addresses posted just went out.

Kevin: I wrote in my follow up post that I would gather addresses first and bundle them up in a batch payment.

Due to a malfunction in the Monero daemon, the pool assumed that the transfer of 4.46411 XMR to 32 recipients was successful when it in fact didn't happen. The pool attempted a fallback strategy to issue the payments that resulted in just a partial amount of the rewards to get sent which was 1.49291 XMR to 10 recipients. Due to the privacy features of Monero, not even I can figure out which addresses were among those 10 which received a payment. I therefore ask you to post your wallet address here if you are sure that you did not receive your payment. Please be honest. I'm going to collect addresses posted here for a couple hours and trigger the payments in batches.

No that did not change during the re-branding. It was always like that.

Adding the following line should do the trick:

stratumproxy nicehash

Fixed and migrated to ethminer instructions.

According to the blockchain you have received your payments: https://verge-blockchain.info/tx/710c88de101bcf1d7d1dcedb3e6412d77f679152ba884375d64fa46b63f4a9b0

We had questions like this in the past and it was always the wallet software/website to blame for the delay.
