I can't connect! I get "504 Gateway Time-Out"

I guess wizkid057 has stopped the stats server in order to rebuild the system faster.
Just keep your miners pointed to the pool. The shares are still counted.

Jup. It's working again.

Usually Wk makes manual payouts after stats problems like this one.
The queue should normalize again after that.

I've been creeping down the payment queue all day.
When I went in to it I was at 880'th position, now around 10 hours later I am at 1113'rd.
There have been 21 or 22 blocks in front of me all this time.
Hopefully WK knows about this?
I guess I'm not the only one affected.

1Nbq has a bunch of payments waiting... about 6 blocks worth in a row, so it'll probably back the queue up a little... when CPPSRB goes into fail-safe mode the automatic payments are halted and WK has to come in and clear it up manually... afaik

It is first in, first out. But often slower miners don't reach their minimum payouts immediately. They don't lose their queue position just because they haven't met that requirement, so once they do meet it, they get inserted in the position they hold.

With any other method, people would have an incentive to put their payment the lowest to get into the queue more ofter an skip everybody. With the current method, a user may chose to place a higher treshold for his payout, recieveing money less time, but "in exchange", he knows that his payment will have a better priority in the queue.

I believe that in fact, the system orders the payout by their oldest unpaid share. It doesn't change anything if you have already recieved a payout, since a payout clears your balance, your oldest unpaid share will be just after the payment.

But if it is your first payout, then your balance age is when you started mining.

OK, I understand that. FCFS starting with last payment. Makes sense.
