Hi all,

I am getting out of mining as it is no longer profitable for me. As such, I will no longer be running this pool as one of the reasons I set it up was to decrease my own variance. IE an alternative to solo mining. I am posting this to give everyone time to move away without experiencing downtime as a result of the pool just going dark so I intend to shutdown at 03:00 UTC or in approximately 24 hours of this post. I will of course pay out any found blocks between now and then manually in addition to paying out all pool balances to 0. I will also dump the current round and make that available at www.continuumpool.com/history for some time following shutdown.

All that said, it has certainly been fun writing this stuff and if anyone is interested in running it, I would be happy to make the code, database schema and transfer the domain with your paying domain transfer of course. I will likely put the code up on the web at some point soon in any case though.

I would also like to say thanks to Meni Rosenfeld for the fine algorithm on which the pool is based. Implimenting that in Postgresql was challenging and fun. I appreciate all the help along the way.

M
