Closing down the pool (yes, again).
Two main reasons:
a) I believe bitcoin is dying a slow protracted death, with falling hashrates and falling values it's only a matter of time before it's gone entirely.
b) we had server issues which led to the outage earlier on today, but believed them to be fixed - sadly not and we're now at a state where the pool server won't boot properly, and given my position on a) I'm not willing to invest any more time in fixing this and carrying on running it just to have it all for nothing in what I suspect may be a matter of weeks.
There was one block which hadn't confirmed yet, once it has I'll get it paid out. All remaining balances will be paid out.
It ain't coming back this time, thanks for the hashes over the past few months.
I do understand your position, but why all the ..."lets make these cool graphs", "maybe time for some redundancy" etc..
It didn't seem that this is the direction you were going...
Oh well, I have no luck... every small pool I've joined has closed down... maybe it's me...
Maybe i should join deepbit and see If I can do them the same

Good Luck to you all at RFC
