yeap, something is broken. 

PS, the balance indicator will only become useful in the future once the pool is much larger therefore discovering blocks often. The minimum payout threshold isn't really playing a role now so block rewards will go straight to the miner rather than into the balance indicator. But again, patience pays off handsomely in our small community.

You're more likely to get a payout first before you get a balance indicator. That's because you're mining with a small number of other miners and so blocks are not being discovered frequently as on larger pools. However, when each block is finally discovered the payouts will be much larger than what you're likely used to. In my case I mined for three weeks on the Ethereum pool before we all got a block reward. My payouts here have been very rewarding. It just takes more patience.

Congratulations all. I've migrated one more machine to the Ethereum pool. Now, I have only one machine mining elsewhere (mining pool hub) and I'm very seriously considering migrating the last one over to poolmining.org especially because having to log in to mining pool hub is insufficient in my opinion. It's just another password layer that could find itself phished. 

Just add the worker name using the address.worker-name method, start mining, then load your stats via the pool website to see the effect. It's obvious once you see it. 

ps, the answer to your question is no.. you only add the .worker-name once in your miners config or batch file as is shown in the pools tutorial.

Any knowledge about how long Ethereum blocks take to find? I was paid out a small portion on 2 previous blocks plus a decent bit from an uncle block but now it's been more than 2 weeks with 1.2+ giga hash and no block. I like the idea of mining on a new pool with all its effort establishing new pool software and stuff but I also have my own issues. I need to format my OS soon and I need to go on a trip. I'm nervous I will miss out my block rewards if I go offline for a few days...

Sorry to be a bother but I am concerned about how down time or reduced hash rate will affect my long term contribution to the coming block/blocks. Any comment Poolmining Support? Thanks for any response, I getting nervous about these looong blocks and I just don't know how to answer myself the question based on the technical/mathematical explanations in the FAQ. And my private ticket doesn't get responded to ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

ps, I'm at almost 3 weeks mining with 150mh on Ethereum pool. I need to format my miners OS and I need to go on a trip etc..

"What is the value of difficulty" taken into consideration. Difficulty of the block that was found, or the difficulty that the pool assigned to the miner by VarDiff at the moment the block was found?"

I think I remember it being said that the pool assigns rewards for shares based on difficulty dynamically. In other words much more fairly than the two suggestions Sami has put forward here. I hope I am correct because I might need to turn off my big miner for maybe a week so my hash rate will go from 150 mh down to 50mh in that time frame. 

So I see that shares are now being measured with a T following the share count. Does T stand for Tera-share, maybe?

I have to admit it is confusing. I've read through the FAQ portion on shares a few times, I get the general idea and I like it, but I just don't really understand.
