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.





Quote from: guytechie on July 27, 2014, 11:27:59 PM 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.

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.

I'm going to be working out a way to handle BTC amounts under 0.001 for a final payout. This doesn't apply to any other coin, since not a single other one is even worth a penny if you're talking in 0.000x amounts. Please keep an eye on the thread/website, the 0.000x BTC withdrawal process will probably end up formalized next weekend.

I'll definitely make a mention of it on the BTC Guild thread once it's ready. I still have over 1,000 games in stock from when I stopped the business last time. For most titles, I was the best price assuming equal condition. I also always had multiple angles and high resolution pictures of the individual cartridges so you knew the exact condition before biting the bullet. BTC will definitely be accepted as well, fully integrated into the shopping cart rather than just a BitPay/Coinbase plugin.

I think doing so is a great way to save on transaction fees if you have to make a lot of little payments to various addresses.

Thanks again and good luck with your next adventure and I hope you can help your parents.

I would suggest not to close the pool but to switch it to the LTC solely mining project. In this case it will not consume your time, ElWhat about to sell it? whole nazca signature space owned by naska21 for rent, feel free to PM me

It's unlikely, but I won't rule it completely out. My biggest factor for closing down is that I know ScryptGuild is currently not running as well as it could, and I know that I don't have the time in the near future to correct that.







EDIT: And as if on queue, last night the pool ran out of disk space on the partition with the coin daemons causing them to crash, just great... It's unlikely, but I won't rule it completely out.
