Thanks for the votes, keep 'em coming!
In an effort to reduce fees that I have to pay, both BTC and USD for payouts, I am implementing a new payout method internally. Previously, the payouts were handled individually on and ad-hoc basis. Going forward, I plan on handling the payments through a queuing system that will bundle a number of payments together and send them at once.
I just pushed the code to the live server and it will be active starting with block 169718. For the next few blocks, I am going to push the queue manually, so the system will say you've been paid out and behave like you've been paid, but your payments will be slightly delayed. Assuming everything goes well, they should not be delayed more than a few minutes.
Once I'm satisfied the code is stable on the live server, payments will happen as before, but there will be up to a 2 minute delay before you actually receive the funds, this applies to BTC, NMC and PPUSD. Most of you probably won't even notice a difference, but I wanted to mention it for those of you that might notice payments taking slightly longer than usual to arrive on occasion. I don't think a maximum of a 2 minute wait is going to cause anyone any problems.
It's entirely possible that for the next block or two payments will not be correct - I will be working to correct them ASAP if something were to go wrong, but the test data I've been running through it has all been just fine, so I don't anticipate any major problems.
