Could you explain more about what the issue with the dashboard is? How does it "say not?"
Hashrate is still incorrect AND no(minimal) coins where mined( or it looks like this). this i mean with dashboard say "not solved this issue"

Should I be switching to another pool?
It's definitely not "fixed".
You're welcome to use another pool if you feel more comfortable. However, as discussed above, mining is not affected, this is only a display issue, and customers will be reimbursed 15% extra for the time they earned less than expected.

This issue appears to be resolved. The cause of the issue was a math error. 2^5 - 2^-3 is not equal to 256, as it was erroneously assumed to be. Thanks for your patience.

It looks like another period of share corrections will be necessary. Chris will again issue a 15% bonus for the period when earnings were too low yesterday. He'll work on that in about 12 hours.

Currently 0.00693691 BTC is being displayed as the profit, which if divided by 256 shows the true amount.
I got that one too. The problem is that previously I multiplied the profitability, thinking that that was the only thing wrong. Now that we fixed the true issue, the multiplication on the profitability needed to be removed. Thanks for pointing that out.
