Just thought I would share an email I received today regarding ConnectBTC, their mining pool, and all other services. Although not a surprise, ConnectBTC is ceasing the pools operation as of October 17th 2018 at 00:00 UTC. The email reads as follows:
It's time to say goodbye.
In January 2017, we've launched ConnectBTC with the goal of providing miners with the best user experience of any of the pools in operation. Since then, we have gained many loyal customers and we are grateful to all of you for working with us, helping us to improve and to provide better service.
At this point, we feel that the value that we can provide to customer with the continued operation of the pool is limited and we've decided to cease the pool's operation.
The pool will stop accepting shares on October 17th 2018 at 00:00 UTC. Please be sure to switch your miners to another pool before that time.
On October 17th, all outstanding balances will be paid. The pool's UI will continue to be available for an additional 2 weeks in case you need to export any reports.
We are grateful for everyone who mined with us and will soon be releasing the pool's code for the benefit of the open source community.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out to us at
support@connectbtc.com.
Keep on mining,
The ConnectBTC Team
