Ok guys and gals, sadly the pool hasn't taken off in the way we hoped, and we've not been able to lure enough people away from the (personal) safety of the bigger Dogecoin pool operators.
We say personal safety as most people are aware in some way that having the hash rate of any coin spread over multiple pools is good for the coin as a whole.
That said we just don't have the hashing rate needed to compete, so we're going to shut the DOGE pool down.
The minimum automatic withdrawal amount has been dropped to zero, and the fees for both auto and manual payouts has been dropped to 0 as well, so you can all get every last DOGE out without any penalties.
The pool will keep running for a week from now, or until every last DOGE has been withdrawn, whichever comes first.
The 10,000 DOGE block finder reward will remain active for the next block found, but we will shut the stratum down after that block.
If nothing else we've proven that we can provide a stable and reliable pool, and we are currently looking into up and coming coins to try to find a suitable candidate amongst them so we can get in on the ground level.
Once we've found a coin we think is worth backing we'll advertise the pool in all the usual channels, so keep an eye out for the next big thing from us
Lastly, thank you all for joining and supporting us, and giving a small pool a go!
