Indeed, I've been around since June 2014 and suchpool has always been an example of what-to-do. It sucks but current Bitcoin prices make most crypto business unprofitable, at least the smaller guys like us.

That's what my argument has been these past two weeks, btc is heavily manipulated and under control by well, the usual suspects. Just in the last month or so, these businesses have closed or paused operations:

- TradeMyBit
- BecausePool
- SuchPool
- ZeusMiners
- Ccex.io (cloud mining)

And that's off the top of my head, without even mentioning stuff like egopay, cointerra cloud mining, etc, etc, etc.

These are very hard times and this site (Bitcointalk) has only done damage to the altcoin world where suchpool, becausepool, trademybit and of course my own pool do business.
- Paid fudster teams (bct mods know but they don't care as long as no one touches their scamcoin btc, biggest shitcoin there is).
- Constant persecution and banning for "spam" No altcoin based business is allowed to even post a one liner announcing services for a specific coin, if the mod feels like it, they will ban your ass, most of the times they just delete the posts anyway.
- Scam devs which actually post constant viruses, sometimes with the same account and guess what, they can do it over and over gain. Some of these devs aren't using tor which means the ip is recorded...

But hey what can we expect if some of the big boys on BCT have actually said "all altcoins are scam and i hope they die already".

Solution isn't easy, but first thing, is: Move away from BCT, I'm not a fan of GAW, at all, but at least hashtalk is an option with decent traffic.

Well said, things have gotten out of hand. I can only hope for a better future! Sad
