You guys are pushing STRAKS... any chance I can get my 7k SIGT you kept when you shut down that page without even an email notification and then never responded to the PM I sent you responding to you asking how much I had and my username...
Or have you already sent them to the STRAKS swap bot?
so you left 7k worth of sigt in a pool wallet? dont you realize you should withdraw it daily and have it sent to a desktop or offline wallet? For those who mine directly to exchanges, or keep all your coins on exchanges or mining sites.. shame shame.. you deserve to lose it for doing that. They notified everyone in plenty of time that they were closing sigt.. Sigt is a worthless scam anyway so you havent lost much.
And if you say there was NO NOTICE, check out the quote below....October 11, 2017... There was previous messages as well, before this one..
Its up to you to keep tabs on your coins, not the pool operators.
They cant send emails to everyone who leaves their money in a pool wallet, not their job, not their concern.### CWI-POOL SIGNATUMhi all ...
the CWI-Pool Signatum will be closing in the coming days ...
we have notified once before about the impending closure some weeks ago - so sufficient time should have been available to remove all your coins from any accounts contained in the CWI-Pool Signatum ... if anyone still have coins stored within the pool wallet after midnight Friday October 13 2017 ( adelaide time - google 'what is the current time in adelaide australia' ) - then the coins will be lost to you ...
we can see a few coins left in the wallet so please remove them promptly ... we thank those who have taken the time over the last few weeks to remove their funds ... it makes our lives so much easier ...

This is a ridiculous statement to support laziness, but the last part is absolutely right, they have no care or concern for their users, that became very clear to me already, you didn't need to point it out, but thank you.
Righto, gotcha, for this pool especially I have to pay attention to the fact they may take a page down and not let balance holders know, they may just add a comment to a forum and hope you catch it.
I can appreciate the fact that
it's my fault I left my coin on a site I thought it was safe on and then they posted a comment on a thread saying if users with balances (of which they have an email for each) didn't withdraw by x date the coins would be "lost to you". They say they kill them, but hey, who knows right... kind of an underhanded way to scoop up some coin.
So my qualm is that there was no email sent despite them clearly knowing who needed to withdraw and having all the emails. Also, why bother asking me how much I had and my account in a PM if you weren't even going to do anything about it. Had I gotten an email notification, I surely would have withdrawn my coin, that was the only coin I was on that pool for and forgot about it for a couple weeks and came back to no website.
If they can send me an email every time a miner doesn't submit shares for 10 mins, don't you think they should be able to send an email out saying we are taking this page offline, withdraw your SIGT or their ours.
The 98 miner was good, but the enormous struggle they've had getting 99 out and the fact they care so little about their users as to close a pool down completely without even letting balance holders know, really should shake most peoples confidence.
Your product better be top notch because your credibility isn't.
The funny thing is, ~7k SIGT isn't even much money, it's the principal of the thing, I don't want others to lose out because they trusted this pool and didn't pay attention to all the posts in the forum.
Anyway, I hope they enjoy my, I mean, their shiny new STRAKS from the swap, I hope they put them to good use.
Hi uhro,
Let's get a couple of things VERY straight here.
First - more than ample warning was given about the removal of the pool in both our threads AND the SIGT thread. The emails that you are talking about are automated emails from the pool itself. MPOS does NOT have an email management system in place to email ALL 5000+ users in our database (which is small compared to, say, a massive pool like suprnova in fact), so we would have to do it manually. NOT a chance. Even ocminer at suprnova or tpruvot or anyone holding anything that resembles a pool would email each and every one in their database IF they had to do it manually. It simply cannot be done due to the time expenditure. This is WHY the threads are used for communication. Considering the crapfight that was going on at the time of the SIGT debacle, I think 4 weeks is more than enough time to recognize that it is entirely YOUR responsibility to take care of YOUR coins. As you will find being a miner, ALL pools do exactly the same. Why? Because unlike your feeble attempt to burden us with a slur of laziness, NO POOL OPERATOR can spend over a week (or three) of their time to do such a thing on a manual basis.
Second - STRAKS? Are you kidding me? Your assumption AND accusation that we are 1, backing STRAKS and 2, exchanging YOUR SIGT for STRAKS are completely and utterly false and unfounded.
Third - ALL our pool wallets that we have that get decommissioned are destroyed. YES! DESTROYED. This is WHY we post (in ample time) as a warning to those who carry coins in our pool (or ANY pool for that matter) that 1, NO pool should be used as an online wallet for YOUR storage as no pool operator is a banking system for AltCoins and 2, the pending decommissions are NOT for our benefit but the communities benefit and as such, the wallets will never see 'the light of day' once they are decommissioned.
If you are asking WHY we destroy the wallets, the reasons for it are two fold. 1, the destruction of the (remainder) of the coins in the wallet AFTER ample warning is given is to increase the value of the circulating coins by reducing the number of coins in the network through our dilution and 2, so that there is NO WAY you can accuse us of TAKING the coins and using them for our benefit, as you have seen fit to do with your ridiculous assumption that we took the coins and exchanged them for STRAKS. What a crock of an accusation, as if we NEED the coins in the first place, let alone backing STRAKS. Even if we DID setup a STRAKS pool, the consideration will only ever come AFTER we finalize the damage control we are undertaking NOW.
Fourth - and pay very close attention to this point as it is BY FAR the most important of the points made. Our credibility is not only spotless, but the methods we employ in our business (YES - BUSINESS! We are not a simple backyard 16year old ripping people off) are set to a very specific way of doing things, so that NO trail is left behind for such ridiculous accusations to occur. In YOUR eyes, our credibility may be down the chute, but we carry ourselves with our heads held high and respectfully, as we do NOTHING intentional to mar our business in anyway. We are actually quite taken back by the events that have happened, and will only ever apologize for that which we have done WRONG. So far, YOUR inability to react quickly enough after the postings on both threads (do we call that laziness?) has led to the loss of a number of coins which we were looking into. As it turns out, there was no way we could resurrect these coins for the wallet as NO private keys are kept when a module is destroyed (refer back to why we destroy above).
I appreciate that you are upset by the decisions to do so, and the lateness in which you reacted (just under 4weeks to be exact) to the postings, but there is NO need to pretend that you are doing ANYONE a favour by 'warning' others of their impending doom when using our pools. Why? Because we just don't work that way. Even if ther was the opportunity to do so, we wouldn't as we are legally bound by the Australian laws governing the direction of use of our business. From memory, there were a few users who didn't draw their funds out in time, which you obviously were one, and we gave more then adequate warning. We DO NOT keep coins, and DO NOT exchange them for newer projects. For the amount that these coins are worth, they are just NOT worth our time to stuff around with them, so destroyed they are. Even high value coins are treated the SAME WAY. 21 days warning of closure, then wallet destroyed. We keep only what is ours, which is the fee - 0.7%.
Our time is spent working on a better pool system, a better miner (of which the next revision is of nothing you have ever seen before in mining crypto), a better trade system (part of our backend), a better use scenario for the portfolio of coins you may have sitting there in bags, and many more things we have been and still continue to work on.
We have had our entire NEW infrastructure destroyed, worth a WHOLE LOT MORE than 7KSIGT, because our ISP had the misfortune of dealing with a fraudulent contractor whose actions have affected not only us, but ALL that have been setting up the new infrastructure. Damage control, development of CWIgm, development of Obsidian (our custom stratum), CWI-WebSite, Development of OZC then INFX, the purchase of over 61KAUD of Aorus 1080ti Xtreme cards for theFARM, and much much more I will not reveal in public has been going on, and you think we have the time to worry about a few SIGT?
I have some very basic suggestions for you, that is more advice than suggestions, in the OVER 5.5Years I have personally been mining AND more than that in the Crypto Industry. The suggestions/advice are very simple. If you cannot find a reason to use our products, don't. If you have a qualm, then we will attend to it with what we have present at the time you have the qualm. If you are unsure, or even aggravated about anything to do with us or the business then by all means voice it, but don't DARE think that your false accusations and assumptions of what we MAY have done or not done, are going to be posted here and fall into the category of 'CWI don't care'. We DO care! So much so, that it is the reason for this lengthy reply. I find it to be an ABHORRENT act, and a display of your own character to accuse CWI of things that have not been done, and things which we could not bother with doing even if we wanted to.
This is the CWIgm thread, and even though the pools do get mentioned here among other things, it is NOT the place for these false accusations you have posted. It's quite obvious that you have no justification for the false accusations, but irritating is the least I can say when I read such garbage like that. Did we LOSE your coins like most other pools have? Did we get hacked and lose ALL our funds like most other pools have, who mostly just throw their arms up in the air and shrug their shoulders to say 'sorry - we got hacked. Tough luck!'?
Seriously mate, in all my years in the Crypo Industry, I have yet to do ANYTHING that isn't FOR the miner or Crypto user. This goes for CWI-theTEAM also.
I feel bad that you think our credibility is poor in your eyes, but now there is nothing we can do. As for our products, including our pools, would you suggest a better way to make you as a user aware of the pending closures or changes other than emails? Had we emailed, would you have complained that we didn't warn everyone by NOT posting in the threads? Or would there be something else we could have missed? We are consistently improving our systems, as well as the services that we build, so we won't cut corners there, nor shall we cut corners when closing a pool or making changes in any other area of the CWI-EcoSystem. A post in our CWI-Thread is where these posts will be made, now and in the future. You found us here, why on earth wouldn't you check here for updates, especially considering BitCoinTalk being a forum, can notify you of changes to the thread itself.
I will concede to this much, which is my lack of communication lately due to the obovementioned issues and work. This will change when we have things a little more stable in the new year.
As for your coins, unless we can find the amount that was IN the wallet at time of destruction, we can do not much more than consider them lost. Please have more diligence in keeping an eye on YOUR coin portfolio. I am sure that if it were BTC that were sitting there, you would not have left it till the last second to pull them out of our pool when instructed to (and yes - we would have destroyed that wallet too. There is NO difference between wallets with our policy).
BTW - @sparker327, much appreciated for your response also, as it is pretty much what we believe also, as stated above.
