Wow thats a bit unwarranted. Both you guys have had 0 fee's for as long as the pool has been around. I've just started a second job and don't have time to maintain pools any longer. If one of the miners hadn't brought the wallet update to my attention I likely wouldn't have even known and we probably would have forked. Would you have preffered that happen instead? Air is the only one of my pools that has any hashrate at all and taking a look at my server cost it was fast becoming an expensive hobby. It should be noted that out of the 9 miners left on my pool only 5 of them are paying fee's and its been that way for weeks now. I'm not a bussiness and I cannot afford to run at a cost.
As far as a "mature" response goes, There's not a whole lot I can fit into that small message box that gets the point across and doesn't make me sound like an asshole.
Thanks for the appreciation though.
It's a shame to see the only Australasian pool close down so suddenly, as it was a good pool and I mined with you a lot over the last couple of weeks as you are my closest pool by 100ms. I contributed the 1% fee and donated 1% as well to show some appreciation for your effort. I would have increased my donation % if I'd known you needed more support to share the server costs.
I'm really sorry to hear you can't run the pool any longer but I can understand your time is valuable and right now running the pool is just an extra time and financial burden you don't need by the sounds of it.
Thanks for explaining your situation and all the best for your future!
PS I just set my donation to 100% on your pool and will leave a miner on it till you close to help out with the servers costs. Can you post your AIR address so I can send some extra AIR as well.
