So I registered via my ZEC Wallet on Zhash Pro mining pool with its attractive dashboard the estimates and all that. But that is where anything good with it stops. Theirs is a system of presets, they set parameters for your first average hashrate but from there it is downhill. First they don't confirm shares progressively as happens with other sites. They do it once at payout time so that it aligns to the preset estimate on the dashboard. Secondly, after payout the dashboard on shares is cleared and remains blank until after about 8 hours when it pops out with your unconfirmed shares. The funny thing is that it starts to decline progressively until the figures they would like.
Outright robbery with no explanation, only rudeness in discord. See the response below to my raising the issues on Discord

I found out that your pool is kind of the 'Unique' one in unconfirmed shares in the morning between around 6am -1pm East African time the dashboard is blank only the Hash-rate is visible. Then boom at around 1pm you get the unconfirmed share. Mark you the Hash-rate remains fairly the same with the fluctuations here and there. But then the shares instead of increasing start decreasing throughout the day yet my miners' dashboard show continuous work and lots of accepted shares. For instance, today it started at 0.018Zec unconfirmed at around 2pm I even added extra miners but to my dismay it started declining even further and as at now it is at 0.01385485 Zec CLEARLY heading to your preset figures of 0.01 ZEC per day. If this is not Daylight Robbery tell me what it is.

Thank you for your input. Let me explain how pool mining works. Miners collectively submit shares which at the end of each day are used to calculate rewards. The more shares you submit the bigger the reward.
The fluctuations you noticed are simply adjustments to the rewards which the pool does every 5-10 min. This means that if a miner has submitted additional shares during the 5-10 min period the reward will be recalculated based on that share amount.
All the shares submitted and rewards are accounted for and displayed on the site. The system is full proof, tested and totally transparent.

Hi Andreas I disagree and honestly its good to be straight forward . Please explain how I receive a cumulative for the day after the dashboard comes back on at around 1pm and then it starts to adjust towards your preset figures . As for transparency then it becomes zero infact negative. I have not experienced this with other pools where i have rigs but mining is progressive as one adds more miners but yours once your algorithm sets for someone's miners daily limit that it is and will be and you just leave it to the system to work out irregardless of how many miners someone adds. Some day unjustified sweat will topple you down. injustice doesn't last.
If one wants to leave your pool what happens to the unconfirmed shares in someone account or at what time can one exit to leave with his/her dues
AndreasG — Today at 13:42
You are free to leave and re-join at anytime. Rewards will be paid if they are over the min payout threshold which is 0.01 Zec in your case.
Looking at your stats, it seems you are getting exactly what the forecast says.
Wanderi55 — Today at 13:47
currently the unconfirmed shares are above that but given your habit of siphoning how am i sure you wont deduct what reduce so that you remain with it
AndreasG — Today at 13:47
We are not deducting anything.
Wanderi55 — Today at 13:48
yeah and thats what I said from the onset earlier on email that you do system presets for a guven miner and he/ she becomes doomed no matter how much hashpower is added
AndreasG — Today at 13:48
Stop accusing the system and start doing some reading to learn how pool mining works please.
Wanderi55 — Today at 13:49
system is run by people ... Truth is hard
Truth is hard and painful

If you having a problem with the way payouts are handled, may I ask why are you mining with the pool?
Wanderi55 — Today at 16:35
Kindly was i not supposed to RAISE a concern with the way you are doing things . Why not address the issue professionally if you are true . And am i supposed to stop right now so that you take my unconfirmed shares ... your words and response betray you 100%
If you could confirm my shares which you are doing as usual deducting progressively I would leave .. All Other pools where I have more rigs do things straightforward and help their miners exit or stay with transparent info and with their dues.
The screenshots attached shows the balance currently at 0.0093 Zec from the total shares of 0.0105 Zec earlier in the day just like few hours ago . Here the shares don't increase they reduce. you are awarded a predetermined amount of shares at the start of the day which they then reduce progressively throughout the day
PLEASE CHECK The Average Hash-rate and consider the fact that throughout it means no shares are being added to the system yet when you check on the miner's own dashboard/GUI shares are being accepted throughout
