It feels like an era is nearing the end. Of all the 2011 mining pools only a handful remain at this time. Maybe I'm just being nostalgic, but it feels like

some of the new pools and even new miners are increasingly motivated by greed and know and care less and less about Bitcoin.



I hope you'll still be a part of the community. Perhaps we will see another Bitcoin-related project from you in the future.



Thanks for recommending Bitminter.



Being in competition with BTC Guild wasn't easy. But it was always a competition of gentlemen.



Thank you for playing fair and honest. Thanks for being responsible when BTC Guild got too much of the global hashrate. Thanks for caring about Bitcoin and the community.



BTC Guild is a huge success and something you can always be proud of.



I tip my hat to you, sir.

This may be a stupid question but one that needs to be asked.



Will you be doing any sort of "checks" on whoever buys the pool if at all. Or will be just be a here you go ty for your payment kind of deal as if someone just stepped in line at a store to buy a can of soda ? To be decided...

There will be vetting of interested buyers. The last thing I want to do is sell the pool, only to have it turn into a Goxxing 2 years down the road and take my name down with it tangentially. Obviously there is no way I can guarantee this, but I will do my best to make sure the team that takes it over appear to be capable. There will be vetting of interested buyers.

Q: Can you confirm that you haven't been subjected to any national security letters, or any other subpoena that you're not allowed to publicly talk about?



A: BTC Guild has not received any notice, information request, subpoena, or similar instrument. The only contact BTC Guild has had with a government agency is the IRS, California Franchise Tax Board, and Nevada Payroll authorities (I can't recall exact departments in NV at this time), all related to, obviously, paying the taxes the business owed.



The only partial exception to this is a subpoena that was received in early 2014 related to a lawsuit against Mt. Gox which requested information related to possible hidden accounts/mining activity they may have run through BTC Guild. The response involved no information about pool users, only confirmed, based off the specifics provided in the subpoena, that there were no BTC Guild accounts owned by Mt. Gox and its related entities/officers which could be identified by the wallets and IP ranges the subpoena identified, and that to the best of my ability, there were no accounts on BTC Guild which were owned by Mt. Gox and its related entities. RIP BTC Guild, April 2011 - June 2015
