Title: Good bye and farewell lite.coin-pool.com

This pool will be CLOSING on January 11th, 2014. A hacker stole the LTC out of the wallet via a mysql injection exploit. I am pretty sure I fixed the hole but the damage was done. Anyone who had a balance before Jan 28th has been reset to 0 due to the LTC being stolen. Anyone who continued mining with the pool has been paid for all blocks found after block 487,780. Payouts are enabled again.

This pool never charged a fee to mine. That is why there is no funds to repay users. Most users had a small balance because they did withdraws on a regular basis. Several users lost 10+ LTC because they kept their LTC on the pool instead of withdrawing. I apologize for your loss. I never wanted this to happen but it has. I tried to dream up ways to keep the pool open and pay back users but none were feasible due to constant DOS attacks, increased costs to try to mitigate the attacks, and the server costs.

Sorry to hear about this bad news. Sad to see this one go..

I made the bulk of my LTC from this humble pool. 

This was the first pool I ever mined at and  I had no problems, whatsoever.
