Ok, some feedback on Foxcounter, which I've been using in a small way since long before they started paying for hits.

Periodically, they seem to have server troubles and the counter loads slowly on pages or fails to load. Then they usually fix it. But I think their system is underpowered overall.

They pay, instantly at the end of month via paypal. Is nice, although I'm not using them for enough traffic to amount to any real sum of money.

For awhile they were paying six cents a unique. Then, at about the time they announced the bump to ten cents, they had a BAD episode of counters not loading. It lasted several days, perhaps almost a week.

Now that has stopped, and my foxcounter stats again pretty much match my serverlogs (as close as any page counter ever does, anyway.) However, I'm getting less than ten percent as many paying clicks (on the same or bigger traffic) as I was getting before the changeover. Since Dialerking says they don't shave, I can only presume they are still having some sort of technical problems.

For instance, yesterday (January 1) I got exactly one paying click out of ~6,200 recorded unique page views of the pages I'm using fox counter for. In mid-December, I had a lot of days when I had 10 to 15 paying clicks out of similar traffic. So something's not right.

However, the payment is a bonus. I haven't found a better overall adult counter system, and I was using it cheerfully before they started paying.
