Almost everyone here believes me to be a scammer.
Please believe me when I tell you all that I am truly sorry for the dogecoins that are owed to you.
Another pool operator has been very kind to me over these past few days and is helping me get through this. You have no idea how badly I feel about this situation. It is draining the life out of me every second of every day.
My words may mean nothing to most of you, but this is the truth.
It is not possible for me to purchase the amount of dogecoins that are owed to many of the miners of my pool. When I first realized this, I abandoned my ship. It was foolish for me to do this and the fact that I did that will make it much harder for anyone to believe a word out of my mouth. I don't blame you but please, read my thread from the beginning, and I hope you can see from the start I gave my pool everything I had.
The person I am working with has encouraged the idea of reopening my pool and has agreed to run it with me to make sure there are no issues with double payouts. Any owed balances will be paid using any and all fees that my pool collects. If / when the owed balances are settled in full, the person who is helping me will take full control of the pool. You will no longer have to deal with me. I'm not cut out for this, and I realize that. This was my first pool and will be my last pool. This is a terrible situation for all of my miners and I'm sorry that I couldn't fix the problems with my pool.
It's not easy coming to this forum and reading the things people are saying. I'm not a bad person. I've done right my whole life. I will do everything I can to right this ship and make things right.
I think you may need to give a bit more information than that, otherwise you'll find that nobody will even mine for the pool to begin with, so no doge will be generated to pay these owed coins.
Of the double payouts, you should have just debited their account the amount of doge they were paid twice, like another pool I read about did. That way they can choose to dig themselves out of the hole. Alternatively, notify them in a PM or via email that you're docking their payout until it's paid off. It's only fair, as technically at this point, because of a bug in the code (that I'll note you didn't create) they have
taken coins that are not theirs. I'm willing to bet they're not the ones complaining.
Regardless, thanks for coming back to let us know what's happening, please just be open an honest about it moving forward.
