Ehmm.. any info about the smalltime miner maxcoin pool?
No idea. Pools seem to be accessible at 162.243.123.200. I wish I could connect to max.smalltimeminer.com with this ip, but I don't know how to do it.
edit your hosts file (google it where to find this file on your computer)
and add the line
162.243.123.200 max.smalltimeminer.com
this overrules DNS and always points max.smalltimeminer.com to 162.243.123.200 from your pc.
but dont forget to delete this line after they fixed their issue, or you might get problems accessing max.smalltimeminer.com in the future!
this will not fix their web server... if it's not accessible by the ip, it will not be by the name, this way.
Smalltimeminers was the 2nd largest pool so a lot of you must have mined there. Is it pretty much concluded they have ran off with our coins? Anyone know them personally and want to help nudge them to put the site back up so we can at least withdraw our coins. Something needs to be done about these scam pools, they are stealing not just coins, but coins that result in real money.
Here is the email if anyone else needs it:

I've emailed them and no reply back. In the past they were quite fast responding.
Always research about the history of a pool you are putting your precious time and electricity on.
Just a fyi,
Netcodepool is mining since late 2012. 75,000 LTC and 1,300,000,000 DOGE have been mined here plus holding a record for not loosing a user's single coin.
Ya thanks, I'll never join a new pool without a history ever again. I saw another new pool just pop up in this thread, I wouldn't be surprised if smalltimeminers just started another one under a different name. You would think though being the 2nd largest pool it would have been ok. If they were legit they would have responded to this thread by now also. I wonder what those big miners do when this happens to them. Luckily I didn't have much pointed to them, but still.
