Hello All,
Due to the lack of interest in our pool and the lack thereof in demand for a highly available pool with the world's most advanced DDoS protection, we have been forced to shut down the service as we are unable to continue to fund the server costs.
There is already a large number of well established autoswitching, auto-exchanging pools available online so we're going to step aside and let them do what they do.
Our plans are to instead, return in a few weeks (if not sooner) with a new product that will more greatly assist the community. We plan on building a new pool that will no longer autoswitch but will instead, provide a range of ports to mine newly developed coins that are not yet available on other pools.
We feel that this will better serve the community and will assist the developers of these new coins build their user base.
As it has always been, our goals will be:
- High availability
- highly scalable (starting small and growing as the userbase requires it with little to no downtime)
- HONEST AND FAIR! (as we have been and as the stats clearly demonstrate!)
We are still going to be here, answering questions via all existing methods. I will still be answering emails and would love to hear your thoughts on our decision, be they good, bad or otherwise
For now, We will stop the pool tonight to allow user's cgminers to fail over to your backup pool.
We will not perform a final payout until ALL coins have been exchanged. We don't want to keep ANYTHING and will be sending EVERYTHING on to our users.
Once all coins have been exchanged, a payout will occur and the website will be put into maintenance mode.
Once our new site is launched, we will be back here looking for coin devs we can assist
With warmest regard for each and every one of you,
Alt (shiny bits)
