So long and thanks for all the fish!

I'm really going to miss this place. It's been a major minor part of my life over the last 4 years.

I'm also curious about where everyone is moving to. The times I've tried other pools, sooner or later I always hit a failover pool. At btcguild this almost never happened. I think if we can get 5ph or more of btcguild's hashrate to all move to the same pool it would really benefit everyone there. As of now I might move to eligius or ghash(ew) or even antpool IDK. Anyone decided on where they are moving to yet?

eleuthria has a list he recommends.

absent from that list is Slush - i think its to do with bad blood and a misunderstanding, the result is Slush was responsible for a DoS attack on BTC Guild.
I was thinking of joining Slush, though if slush was responsible for a DDOS attack I would not want to join that pool anymore, could someone point me towards some evidence of this?

The pool we join in many ways is similar to a form of political representation. which it is why it is so important that we choose a pool that deserves our hashing power. One of the reasons it is such a shame to see btcguild close down, so thank you eleuthria for running this pool for so many years. Smiley
