My first week in December has looked very promising. I have noticed that it takes at least two or three days to real earnings on my stories to show up so I wouldn't panic too soon.
What I am most concerned about is not being paid yet for November.
I got a message saying there was an error and to check Stripe dashboard. I contacted Stripe and they said all was fine but there had been no effort made by Medium to deposit money. Then I see this announcement at Medium:
"We are experiencing an issue where Partner Program dashboards are showing errors/failures for November payouts. We are aware of this, and are re-running the payouts. No money has been lost, and you will see the money in your Stripe account in the next 24 hours. "
So, hopefully that is fixed and payment goes through.
