eleuthria, we understand that BTC Guild is not for sale, but are you interested in selling only the btcguild.com domain?

Kind regards,
NiceHash

Possibly, but it would not be for sale until 2016.



Would you sell the code for the website?  Or is there no offer for that sale?
Do you think there's any way you'd release the pool code as open source on GitHub so that we can all see how our favourite thing for all those years actually worked?

I do not currently have plans to distribute the code used for the site or the backend.  The frontend relies specifically on BTC Guild's DB schema, which is not remotely close to what any other pool software uses.  The backend is almost entirely uncommented spaghetti code.  Possibly down the road I will make a pass through it to comment and clean it up and open source it.  However, I wouldn't recommend it simply because it would be unsupported, whereas other options (ckpool/eloipool) still have active developers/support.
