Because of personal technical reasons candypool will stop its service immediately. If we come back and how, time will show.
EDIT:
Hi,
the pool is still paying out. When all blocks that are still in queue are confirmed i push a button and all the money will be send to the miners.
Sorry that it went down this way but i had no choice.
But look at the bright side: I’ll make the code opensource ( website, server, sql and all the scripts ). I wont let you behind !
Instant payment is now live.
The button will be visible in your dashboard if your balance is >= 0.02 XPM.
After clicking that button a payment will be scheduled and 0.01 network transaction fee is substracted.
it looks like my miner hasnt done anything in 24 hours… this cant be the case… i mine bits on ypool all the time. and have some miners on beeeer as well. But here… noting… not even a hickup
i updated the server software a few hours ago because it was dropping valid Blocks
I’m very sorry for that and currently thinking about how i can reward the users that are supporting me.
I’m thinking something like all eventual fees of a month will be given to the early supporters.
Given that solving a new block is entirely luck based it is not that easy to say.
You can mine solo for a year and don’t solve any block. You can mine solo for a day and solve 10 blocks.
In the long run i would say a pool is the better option for a small solo miner because you get a steady income.
In case you have a very large workforce ( botnet or something ) it would be better to solomine because you the odds that you solve a pool are much higher.
So with one i7 it would be best to pool mine in my opinion.
