[CLOSING DOWN] ScryptGuild Auto-Switching Pool

[BRADLEYPLOOF]

I'm getting a wicked high stale rate with scryptguild...~5%  I've checked other pools, and so far stales haven't shown up.  Not sure if it's on the scryptguild side or if there's lag on my wireless network.

5% is  a dream for some people, I get a stale beacuse i did not put - No submit stale, I submit all my stale work and sometimes i get an accepted share, so its a futile submission to the pool in hopes of not wasting one accepted share or work....

all of my Zeus miner blizzards https://zeusminer.com/?raf=1302 are running at .5% rejected and 4-8% HW errors. How hot are your miners? I have a super chilled out ac running right atop mine and they are freezing to the touch. I hear it prolongs the life of the miner uses less electricity and higher hashrates more over clock. sure electricity but meh the trillions ill make willl cover it.

[DaveF]

Hi,

I have lost connection to the pool too.

Automatic coin is also set to nothing... pool troubles

[eleuthria]

One of the scrypt coin daemons is locking up.  It's fixed now, but the way it's dropping the pool queries is something that isn't detected as a failure, causing it to just hang.  I'm assuming setting a backup pool should let your miners failover though.  Right now the automated restarting isn't kicking in because the pool is never officially dead.

Is autopay turned off again?  I have it set to the minimum but it is not sending it out.  Any ideas?

[brokjen420]

so anybody know what was with that huge hashrate spike?

0.01+ triggers hourly, 0.001-0.009 triggers once per 24 hours.

Hey Eleuthria, any info on when a new update to the guild will be coming?
I'd really like to see things like better adjustable speed graphs and a "earned past 24hr" readout
1month 1wk 1day 1hr, things like that

ScryptGuild Closing Down

ScryptGuild is going to be shutting down on September 27, 2014.  The mining servers will halt in 2 weeks, which is August 10th.  Users will have until September 20th to withdraw their balances before the coin daemons and wallets are taken offline.

I would like to thank everybody that has joined ScryptGuild to date.  The pool was a fun new project to work on, solving the problems of maintaining state within multiple coins over a single server to keep shares valid even during switches, and allow fast user switching on demand.  I am very sorry that the pool ended up entering a period of non-development for so long.  The rewrite was something I looked forward to, but the external factors which kept delaying the rewrite ended up pushing a different project into the front of the line.  I do not want the pool to become another ArsBitcoin/Deepbit, where it just continues on with no direction and no updates, dying of atrophy, and as such have decided that shutting down is the proper action to take.

At this time, I'm trying to get another non-pool related project off the ground, which is something I've been putting off for a few years (before BTC Guild even started).  These days, it looks like it's time to work on that project.  It is not only one that I have been wanting to do, but also one which I believe has a much brighter future than a scrypt-coin mining pool.

Posting this a second time since it creates a new page on the thread.

If you have trouble with withdrawals not executing, please post.  It will take some time to get the proper balance on the exchanges vs on the pool wallets as users begin to withdraw their balances.  I will be checking in multiple times per day to try to catch when one side runs out of coins.

Wow, that's sudden.  Thanks for creating such a great pool.  So what's the new project?

[ManeBjorn]

Sad to hear it.
It was a great project.
Good luck with your new endeavor.

[eleuthria]

Wow, that's sudden.  Thanks for creating such a great pool.

I just didn't want to continue running the pool knowing it was running suboptimally.  I don't have the time to complete the rewrite, nor do I have the time to try to plug in more coins to the current system, which is not sustainable (the rewrite was needed for many reasons, one of which is the rate of database growth).  Had I known that the rewrite would have been delayed this long, I probably would've given this notice earlier.

So what's the new project?

Prior to getting involved in Bitcoin I was starting up a used video game (cartridge era) store with a mixture of eBay and a custom built ecommerce site.  It was actually on track to earn more than my day job as an accountant, but then I got involved in Bitcoin and that business was quickly put on hold.  I'm now trying to restart that business from the ground up, and also involving my parents to help support them going forward.

At this point, I feel that project needs to take a priority over ScryptGuild.  It not only has a better economic outlook, but it also helps my parents.

[Ktulu1]

Thanks for everything eleuthria.

[guytechie]

A commendable thing to do for your parents.  I wish you luck.  In fact, let us know when it's complete.  I would love to start a NES/SNES collection and would like another source besides thrift stores and ebay.

I'm not going to be able to reach the minimum withdrawal amount before you shut down tonight.
I don't suppose you'd be willing to manually pay it out to me along with paying out the other people who won't reach the minimum automatic withdrawal amount.
Also I wish there had been a manual withdrawal method.
My username on scrypt guild is "lunaticgame" (without quotes).
For security reasons please just pay it out to the automatic withdrawal address on my account.
