I've been on Bitminter since November of 2013

I remember when the pool hit 200 TH. In January it got to 350th/s, and server crashed for half a day.
By the time it came back online, almost half of the people moved to other pools. So it was 200th/s again.

Soon it ballooned to 400, then quickly to 600, and 1,000 TH. Just recently the pool had 1,600 TH/s processing power.

3 weeks ago the string of bad luck happened, followed by some very long chains. I was thinking: one more 99-percenter, got to be followed
by few 10-15% chains, right? But it did not happen.

In August I've made 55% of BTCs I should have made by mining on Bitminter. A half.

Difficulty keeps climbing. We had one stale chain that cost us a day. Pool is at 1k. We have lost 37% of the processing power (from 1.6k we had)

I like Bitminter but I think this pool is in trouble.
