Since 5/11/14 there have been 28 payouts to Eligius wallet 18d3HV2bm94UyY4a9DrPfoZ17sXuiDQq2B unspent, at 25 coins and 600 a coin is 420,000.00 someone is planning a vacation and we will be the ones financing it but can you really blame them. It would be nice to find a pool that was totally without human weakness. Eligius is doing the best I'm sure and it can't be easy. I have been trying to do some programming myself to crack a wallet and that's minor compared to managing this monster. I even tried to set up solo mining with just one rig and a server and that was a waste of 5 days, but a lot learned. I have much more respect for people who can manage this and they deserve compensation even if a few kids and cats have to go hungry for a day.
Thanks for your hard work and service and please if you ever decide you have had enough and are going to retire at least have the balls and respect to let us know and say good bye. Not like some people that just up and disappear. Everyone has the right to better them selves and the current system denies most of us that opportunity even when we put in 40+ hours a week. I really believe that bitcoin is going to be that
vehicle that will better a lot of people that otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity. They current system is outdated and inefficient so something is gotta change and right now this is the only game going and it is really up to people such as yourself that dedicate their time and skill to better the system and keep people like me in the game. I will make my ROI in another month and after that it's all retirement funds. Anyways BLAH BLAH BLAH! Cheers and keep up the good work!

ugh i'm so sick of ppl coming in here all the time n saying WK is going to do something bad...if he was i'm pretty sure he'd have done it already and not work his butt off trying to fix everything...we should be happy he is here n actually fixing stuff...unlike slushs pool, where something goes wrong, nothing happens, slush doesn't do crap for that pool anymore
Let's put some things into perspective.
The pool is currently hashing w/ 7,132.70 TH/s, The value of a BTC is $622.35.
At this network difficulty Eligius is effectively mining ~$6,366,836.29Month.
If WK took 1%, which he doesn't, that would be $63,668.36/Month or $764,020.35/Year.
"Stealing" $420K would be shorting himself about $340K/year.
If I were in WK's position and of a thieving mindset, I'd be thinking about stealing the $6 Mil not the paltry $420K.
WK, we are very grateful that the Eligius pool exists and that you tirelessly give of yourself and your time.
Thanks.
On July 1, after we payoff a little loan that bought our initial mining H/W, we will be 1%'ers (it's the least we can do).
We look forward to the day when we can help compensate WK for his efforts and additionally offer all our NMC payouts.
All we need is an NMC address to forward that miniscule dollar value to him. Hint hint.
That's our .00003 BTC's worth, back to lurking.
Thanks, for putting that prospective on it and if those are the #"s then my hats off to him and I was trying to make a compliment in my retarded minded way. I have tried a lot of pools and I will say Eligius has been the best and I hope he's getting that 1% I just wish they would get caught up on the payouts for that kind off money I would do a couple days of nonstop work and get caught up and work on making the system more consistent without compromising security of course.
A few comments:
I love the ability to auto donate to the pool. I have been donating since the first time I connected and was barely able to squeak out 1Ghs. I put in 3% (1% each section). When I hit the 3Ths mark the donation will go up to 6%.
WizKid should set up a wish list at TigerDirect or Overstock.com (someplace that takes BTC) so we can send him things he needs. Yes I believe in gifts, it's a way to show we care about the person not just the work he does.
Now for one of my peavs about how people have there payouts set. A lot of the BIG miners have their payout still set at 0.04 BTC when then can make over this in one block. This means they are constantly entering the payout queue. People read the estimated earnings section of the stats page and set your payout so that you enter the queue once a day our better yet do what I and a few friends do and plan for a payout every two days.
Thank you for reading.
I agree if your doing 453ths you shouldn't be getting payed out 6 times a day at 24 coins a pop while other people are waiting 4 days to get there .5000 coins. I understand you have a bigger investment at stake but when my rigs become obsolete (in 3 months) you big dogs will still be collecting. so let us get our cut before the difficulty is insane. If anyone is interested I have 2 dragon 1ths units or sale 1500 each still doing 50.00 a day. You can add it to your 453..lol
