Sad to read this.

Agreed - Thank you for your support of the mining community CK, and for working to make it right with the impacted miner.

CK, sad to hear.
Started here and learned a lot from everyone
Will end here also most likely
Wish you would reconsider but fully understand
Cheers from Canada

I'm not sure we can sway -ck to keep these pools open or not but I'd think of donating in support of keeping one or both open and available to the community. Likely a reasonable show of support to help -ck fund the pools and cover these recent losses will reduce the burden he shoulders for what looks like the 6000 users that enjoy his work.

Just a thought.

Pool is now closed. I'm leaving the basic statistics up there for people to check on but the web interface is retired as well. Thanks everyone for your support till now and I'm sorry we couldn't make it work.

No, that's not a block, that was the last work detail when the pool shut.

That block was found by poolin

Ck... thanks. and thanks for a great pool that ended much too soon.........

I loved this pool the most, people would have earned the most if they moved their miners here, but alas.

Thanks for all these years and effort, the last zero fee pool with transparency will be missed...

A novice question; How do I rescue my profits from the pool?. Because I see how from 0.00023000 they have dropped to 0.00013000, doing nothing.

Or should I give up the more than 4 months that I was mining in ckpool.

Thanks for being there.

The pool does not have a pool wallet, you get paied every time the pool found a block AND you are in the first 100
range of payouts (look the first posting).

So the answer is: give it up.

This pools payoutsystem is one of the best, a shame that not more people joined this pool.
Thank you for running it with no fee for a long time.

you have learned an inexpensive lesson of small pool mining risk.

the pool takes too long to hit a block and folds.

all funds due are due on next block.

pool folded no new blocks.

I was due 0.026 btc when pool folded.

I effort to support small pools.

i support solo.ckpool
i support mmpool.org

this pool had my support it folded.
jonny bravo pool had my support it folded.

i have supported kano.is
i have supported bitminter

i can’t fully support these pools as my pockets are not than deep.

i only have 1.4 ph which allows me to toss some coins at smaller pools. but not the full support they need.


my thoughts are a pool needs to hit 15 blocks a month to survive.

most of these pools don’t do it.  they dont have 300 or  400ph of hash.

Please note, if you are still mining here, I have moved your mining to the solo pool now. If you happen to find a block before you switch away, you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams. Otherwise I suggest if you still want to pool mine, please switch now.
